Are men with higher testosterone more likely to cheat?

[without]

If that's so that's really sad... Cuz I'm really turned on by them.

In my exprience they're mostly jerks but I was reading somewhere that "This often leads to promiscuous sexual behavior".. Is that true?

 

[Radu]

I don't think so, not generally.

 

You have to have it in you, to find it acceptable to cheat.

To have that rationalization that it's ok.

 

Maybe having a high sex-drive with high testosterone is something that would put pressure on you to find a soution to a problem in a relationship.

It could be interpreted like that.

Some men are good for sex, but not a relationship.

This makes sense more I have come to the conclusion that it's a quality, cheating , but it seems like testosterone has its impact on that quality...

Maybe but i want to have a relationship with someone I fancy. And usually I like these men better.

I have a ridiculously high sex drive myself...and working out has only increased my libido. Weight lifting boosts testosterone in males a little bit.

 

Either way, Im super loyal and when Im with a girl, Im with HER and ONLY her.

 

Cheating is about morals not hormones imo.

Good for her. I don't know I was trying to convince myself I shouldn't go with "hairy" guys And I should choose someone I don't really find that attractive.

 

I hope you're right.

I have an insane level of testosterone, which in turn gives me an insatiable desire for sex. It sometimes gets to a point where I start shaking....but I am a virgin by choice. What does that tell you? discipline and honour trumps all.

I have a high sex drive, but I think my serum total testosterone levels are quote low, albeit in the adult male range.

OK I don't want to be mean or hurt your feelings or anything but I think you are waaaay off base here and think we all need to get our feet back down on Planet Earth here for a moment.

 

For starters noone has the slightest clue what someone's testosterone levels are without drawing their blood and doing the test. Just because someone is horny and aggressive does not mean that their T level is any higher than someone who is very passive and asexual.

 

You are making some very unsubstantiated if not downright erroneous assumptions here about physiology vs behavior. We are not slaves to our body chemistry and people's actions are not dictated by the hormone levels.

 

Sure hormone levels and balances/imbalances may have some influence on how someone "feels" but their actions and behaviors are a conscious choice.

 

What I think is really at play here is you are attracted to guys who are very outgoing, flirty, confident , cocky and who have a more masculine appearance.

 

Well guess what, so do 2.9 million other women. so in other words men with those characteristics have 2.9 other options and so they have more oportunities to 'share the love' shall we say.

 

Now whether someone actually cheats or not is a behavoral and character issue. If someone is self-centered, impulsive, doesn't care about other people's feelings and has a sense of entitlement and has physical and personality traits that make them attractive to other people so that they have opportunities, that person will likely cheat.

 

On the other hand if someone is not selfish, does not have a sense of entitlement, is compassionate and caring of other people's feelings and has enough self-control that they don't give in to impulsiveness and they value relationships and fidelity, they will likely not cheat even if they have a high sexdrive and are attractive and have lots of opportunities.

 

you like people that are cocky, aggressive, self-assured, flirty etc etc. A lot of people like that ARE playa's because they got that way by playing the field and because those are traits and characteristics that a lot of women find sexually stimulating. They got the title "jerks" because they come on strong, make girls jay-jays tingle and their panties wet, and then after they bang them a couple times they are off moving on to other women.

 

If you play with playa's you are going to be played. That's just common sense. But it has nothing to do with T levels or body chemistry, it's about behavior and actions. You don't need to draw somebody's blood and do hormone level tests to determine their faithfullness. All you have to do is look at their behavior and how they treat people and look at their dating/sexual history.

 

The best predictor or future behavior is past behavior. ...not body chemistry.

No I actually appreciate your comment. You have put your thoughts in it and that's what I want here: Other's thoughts.

Uhum actually I say it based on their appearance like mostly heavy growth of facial and body hair and maybe some acne (?). But mostly the hair thing. And the fact that they're also very horny most of the time.

 

Sure hormone levels and balances/imbalances may have some influence on how someone "feels" but their actions and behaviors are a conscious choice.

 

I see.

No actually I'm attracted to shy guys. I'm ok with outgoings but I'm much more attracted to shy ones.

It may sound odd but I like strong guys which aren't too flirty and showy.

Uhum I see. I thought its not just about the character maybe hormones have effect too.

I don't know about their past and more often people are not honest about what has happened or they might tell it as they themselves perceive it which may be different from the reality.

More body hair is not equal to more testestrone

Overall my exprience with these guys were that they weren't good people. I thought maybe testosterone has effect on it I actually read many articles about how it can effect... But its sad.. I rather believe character plays a bigger role.

How would you know if a guy has more testosterone anyway???

[silicone]

Yes and no;

 

Studies have shown a proportional relationship of testosterone levels to the amount of body hair. However, the hair growth response to testosterone differs in different parts of the body. Hence, in some men, for example, testosterone promotes hair growth in the abdomen and back while hair growth is suppressed in the scalp, leading to male pattern baldness.

 

I've got a lot of abdomen hair, but I'm not going bold soon.

So do you cheat? Do you think they're connected?

[Woggle]

People with low morals are more likely to cheat. It has nothing to do with hormones. Men with a lot of testosterone can still find healthy outlets such as working our or sports.

[silicone]

So do you cheat? Do you think they're connected?

 

I haven't cheated, had multiple opportunities to do so. My will power to remain faithful is much more powerful than making the choice to cheat.

 

I don't think that they're connected though.

[AlexCross]

I discovered a few more nose hairs then normal I wonder if I'm gonna ever cheat now?

[TaraMaiden]

That is such a wonderful thing about being petite... I can see right up a guy's nose....

 

Trust me, it's not always ever, a pretty sight!

One advantage of dating a not so tall guy is that you can't see up their nose.

Believe me, at my height, that's never going to happen....

Get him one of those electronic trimmers for his next birthday.

In my experience, it's much more related to your ethnicity/background than your testosterone level. Some ethnicities are just much more hairy but I highly doubt it's because they have more testosterone. I've known very manly hairless men and very hairy but feminine men.
