Yes I am afraid so, for the majority of cheaters. There are one time offenders and then repeat offenders, those ones are stuck. |

| I suppose it depends. Too broadly sweeping a generalization to bet on, but I think I'd probably start with the assumption that cheating again is more likely with this dude... |

| I had a therapist tell me this about a boyfriend once, who cheated on me. I took the therapists advice. Ex-boyfriend is now on his 4th marriage after cheating on the first three wives. |

| Definitely depends of course. I know a man who left his wife for the neighbor and they've been seemingly happily married ever since. Of course no way to know for sure that he didn't cheat but I don't think so. |

| My therapist told me if its a sub-trait coming off of an over all addictive personality then YES. |

| Yes. Once caught though they become sneakier. |

| Pretty much. |

| No, I think, particularly if someone is young when they cheat the first time, he or she could learn a valuable lesson and not do it again. But, I know a woman who has cheated multiple times over 25 years, and I don't think she'll ever change. I think for some people it becomes like any other addiction, they just get addicted to the thrill of the cheat. |

Yep. I date a guy, who cheated on me with a woman who later became his wife. They were married for about 5 years. Then the marriage ended.. Why? Because he cheated.
Someone who has such a moral failing, desire to hurt and betray someone, is innately broken and will do it again. Either you know cheating is a horrible thing to do to someone, and you're not a coward... or you're a coward and have a disregard for others. This IS an either/or situation. |

No. I think there is a difference in personalities/traits in the choice (not mistake in my book). Some people do stupid things amidst a crisis and would never do it ever, ever again. They have the perfect storm of life events and stresses and regret it deeply.
Your other garden variety does what they want just because they can. Like the Honey Badger. It simply takes what it wants. It doesn't give a shit. |

what is his appeal to women knowing his track record? |
