Some men at any age can cheat. It appears that the magic age of adult males cheating is anywhere from 38 to 40 years of age as this is the time some males reflect on their life; know they are growing older fast; feel they want to go back in time and feel the magic of romance as they experienced it in their youth and need to know that other women are still attracted to them as well as faking freedom as they had known it before marriage. A man that is 53 is generally established in marriage; has children; worked hard and like most marriages his spouse has come to be like an old reliable comfy slipper, but, instead of working with the marriage and trying to recapture that romance it is often thought by some men to cheat with a younger woman or sometimes an attractive and exciting woman their own age.
