Why guys cheat?

This message board seems to have more men than the others...

So I ask, why do men cheat?

Why do guys in loving relationships cheat on the woman they love? Every relationship has problems stemming from both people, that's understood. But what is the catalyst that sets into motion the cheating that could ruin a relationship. Assume that he stills loves his gf/wife/SO and wants to continue being with her.

I know why women cheat, but why do men? And what outcome do they expect?

Ladies feel free to add your 2 cents to this one!

I'm a guy and I guess I would say some guys cheat for the same reason as other women, they find something they like better for the moment, maybe their more attracted to, someone that may excite them, etc. Just like some women do. But, I guess I could just say that it's their lack of concern for their SO. I have never cheated and I never will, I would end the relationship as oppossed to lie to someone. Cheating is disrespectful, and very selfish.
