Do All Men Cheat? AND WHY?

I'm fascinated with discovering what makes men cheat, or moreover, what type of man has the greatest propensity to cheat?
I just heard more disturbing facts come out about David Letterman cheating on his wife. Everytime I hear more about what man in which position is cheating now I have to ask... Is there hope for me? for mankind? I really need to believe that not ALL men cheat. I do think there are those that don't, but I believe they are extraordinarily rare.
So in desperately trying to understand men who cheat, I think there are a few scenarios which would lead them to do so.
Upbringing is one.
Are they happy in their relationship and/or did they enter it for the right reasons?
Were they very young when they comitted to a relationship?
Are they struggling with ego problems which make them tend to look at a wife, a mistress or mistresses, and in general ALL people, places and things in their life... as merely props and players in their show in which they are the lead actor?
I sort of have to believe some cheat, because they are not mature, or confident enough in themselves to float their own boat. They require people, places and things to keep them afloat. They use all of the above as tools in order to attain a greater sense of mastery over their little play, their show, called life.
Overall, I think there are different reasons why men cheat, and a certain category of men who are more prone to cheat. The selfish or ego-driven, manipulative and/or insecure would definitely fall into this category.
Of course, I don't just ask for no reason. As I'm certain most women have also been cheated on, and also asked the same question themselves. It's perplexed me for years. But I think my comprehension of the matter is improving.
Any thoughts, feelings you'd like to add?

Not all men cheat but they were made to go out and spread their seed while women where made believeing that they would have children with one man which is why they do cheat sometimes. Women cheat as well though, it's not just men that do it. My fiancee would never cheat on me and I wouldn't do it to him and I know this because I've told him that if he didn't want to be with me anymore, I would prefer him just to leave. Plus, if I found out that he had cheated on me, I'd rip his man hood off and feed it to a dog lol

HAHAHAHA I'd prefer to slice it thinly with a light onion sauce and feed it to him slowly ;) I was going to bring up the subject of women cheaters as well, but I thought that best to leave as a separate topic. I keep thinking cheating is more a matter of conscience, but perhaps nature has a lot to do with it. Good point.

Nature has a lot to do with it, all the way back to cave men, the men would mate with which ever woman he wanted but the women weren't allowed to mate with anyone else. It's like in China where the emporer would have several wives in order to have as many children as possible, the first son would always be expected to "out do" his father but having more children than his father when he became emporer.
