No, I personally couldn't be driven to cheat by a neglectful girlfriend. I would dump a neglectful girlfriend and start dating a woman who was more appreciative of me, but I absolutely would not cheat.

I do think that other people can be driven to cheat by a neglectful significant other. While I'm sure that it must feel rotten to be neglected, I don't believe that it justifies infidelity. If you would rather be with someone else, break up with your current significant other.
