Are men with higher testosterone more likely to cheat?

[SoleMate]

...actually I [diagnose a high testosterone level] 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....

So your real question is, do men who appear hairy, acne-covered, and "very horny" cheat more often? As you continue to grapple with this question, please keep in mind that "horniness" is a subjective and internal feeling and there is no reason to believe you can accurately detect internal attitudes. If you're judging "horniness" by the overall level of overt, observable sexual aggression, please keep in mind that there is no proved correlation between sexual aggressiveness and feelings of sexual desire. I would tend to suspect a slight to moderate positive correlation at best.

Men whose testosterone levels are slightly above average are less likely to have high blood pressure, less likely to experience a heart attack, less likely to be obese, and less likely to rate their own health as fair or poor. However, high testosterone men are more likely to report one or more injuries, more likely to consume five or more alcoholic drinks in a day, more likely to have had a sexually transmitted infection, and more likely to smoke

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.

 

I wonder if studies have been done.

 

I know that some ethnicities are much more hairier than others, I'm in one of those ethnicities.

According to online dating standards I'm short at 5'11

I didn't find any clear answers. To see if being hairy means more testosterone or its a matter of genes also.

[TaraMaiden]

Yay

 

Wait what? You look up a guy's nostrils?

when you're as short as i am, it's not like you have a choice....!!!

 

:mad:

Well, some women are hairier than others too but it's not because of having abnormal amount of testosterone or they would experience other issues such as fertility issues.

 

I think saying (if hairier body, then more testosterone) is false. However there is some truth to (if More testosterone, then hairier body).

I haven't met a hairy woman :/

 

But yeah, it is positive in one direction.

Women like that usually have fertility issues .

Again, it's an ethnicity thing!

[dropdeadredtx]

So does that hold true for women? Do women with high estrogen levels have a higher likelihood of cheating? rolls eyes

 

Cheating is a moral and ethical decision. That's it.

Maybe both.

I believe it's testosterone that affects sex drive.

[mesmerized]

Maybe both.

 

You don't want to think you're wrong, ha?

 

You're gonna make some baaad decisions with the way you come to conclusions, just saying.

O.o I'm saying maybe we both are right but you insist that i'm wrong?

 

There are articles about this just search it.

[kaylan]

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.

Dont be so insecure.

 

And also, a guys general demeanor and ahirness cant really tell you how much testosterone he has. Id say his actvity level and sex drive might be better indicators. Or just a simple doctors test.

[threebyfate]

No. Men and women with boundary issues, particularly self-centered ones, are more likely to cheat.

[GLDheart]

I'd agree and add to that. People with low self worth may be at higher risk as well. They are easily won over by "new attention" and need that validation to feel good about themselves... this is a problem if they are in a stable long term relationship. They tread dangerous waters and eventually justify a little side action.

 

So does having high testosterone lead to poor morals, low self worth, and $hitty boundaries? I think when asked like that, the "high T leads to cheating" correlation evaporates.

Maybe. They also had high sex drive.

This thread seriously has me questioning if I have high T. Reading some effects online I have a lot of similarities with said effects. Thick hair, receding hair line, hair grows quickly, build muscle easily, horny like 24/7, and can be quite impulsive and prone to odd mood changes. Need to get that checked someday.

 

But as for the thread. I don't think it's the physical make-up that would (could) cause one to cheat. It's more who they are as a person that decides such. Like stated throughout; willpower, morals and communication between the couple has a hand in there as well.

Nathan Drake that's a good thing if you have.

 

High T or not seems like I'm always surrounded by Jackasses.

If I was Nate I so wouldn't have any trouble with the ladies.

 

Hopefully you'll meet some non-jerks out there, keep the head up about it. Maybe it's about where you meet people, but that's another thread, though.

[gaius]

Yes they are more likely to cheat. Doesn't mean they will for sure though. They just might bang you three times a day instead.

Thanks, "Nate".

That's a sound answer. Thanks.

[Lizzie60]

I would think so.. although it's not THE rule.

 

But if someone really likes doing something.. they will do everything to do it.. sex included.

 

I think most men cheat anyway... always thought that way.. always will.
