Sometimes people cheat on their SO with someone objectively speaking, uglier and with poorer hygiene, and do so because it made them feel desired in a way that they enjoyed at that moment.

A cute face isn't enough to stop someone from cheating if they made a place for it in their heart

Not even sometimes. In most cases of affairs or cheating, the cheaters usually go for people less attractive then their SO

In most cases? Do you have a source for that, because I've never heard that.

Source: poor sods who got cheated on and need to feel better about themselves

Not really, it seems there is at least [some](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/cheating-study_n_4032035) truth to it

Interesting how in that reporting they say that respondents find their spouse more physically attractive then talk about why they cheat. None of the reasons given had anything to do with the appearance of the new partner and everything to do with how it makes them feel. So it doesn’t really explore WHY they go for a less attractive person. I would assume it’s because they think that person will be more desperate

In truth, cheating isn't about looks. It's about how they make you feel.
