The wandering eye; A lot of men have it but what does it really mean? For a lot of women this could feel highly disrespectful, but what if it's truly an innocent glance that men are innately wired to do?

In a society where cheating seems to be inevitable, we have to start to question the reason behind such a seemingly common betrayal. In this episode Nash (@nashxrose) and Chao (@chaowilliams) are joined by Samori (@samori.t) and Tony (@tonynotiger) of the South and The City podcast as they go deep beneath the surface to discover what is actually going on when a man decides to cheat. Could it be as simple as fear of conflict? Are women essentially forcing men to cheat by upholding unrealistic expectations? Or, could it be that monogamy is simply an outdated concept? These are just a few of the ideas discussed as each host shares their own personal experience with cheating and being cheated on.

Nash shares how her ex manipulated her into a relationship with a major lie and Chao shares the lie he can't stop telling for some reason. Follow us: @menpathypodcast
