Blondes Cheat More Often

With the explosion of a new social media website that allows you to post your cheating partner on the internet for all to see, a trend started to emerge. It seems that blondes are more likely to cheat based on this information, but why would blondes cheat more often than other hair colors? Blondes seem to be in a higher demand compared to other hair colors. If we take a look into history, we may find out the reason for this. It is no secret that, in the olden days, men looked for young women to have their children. Since there is only one type of people who retain blonde hair past their twenties, the blondes where more likely to have a higher success-rate of bearing children.

Men Are More Interested In Sexual Affairs, Women In Emotional

It seems that men are more interested in having sexual affairs, whereas their female counterparts are more interested in having emotional affairs. This is due to the main complaint that everyone hears about men who are only concerned with sex and women who are more concerned with having a connection with their partner, but does this problem stem from our history? It just might. Men used to go on long trips to provide for their families, leaving the women at home to fend for themselves. It is no real wonder why women have such extensive circles of friends and have intense emotional needs. While the men were away, they had sexual affairs to make sure that their family line would continue.

Lawyers Are Most Likely To Cheat On Their Partners

Lawyers are more likely to cheat on their long-term partners for many reasons. They have access to people who are going through divorces and other situations that make it easy to cheat. They have power and control over the lives of many which can cause them to devalue their partner’s emotional investment in the relationship. Lawyers also tend to have a sense of entitlement. This makes it their right to cheat because they can change the interpretation of the law to suit their needs. Because of their profession, lawyers are also risk-takers. This makes the relationship they have a game of risk. For some, the temptation of cheating is more arousing, because of the possibility of getting caught.

The Typical Profile Of A Cheating Husband

There is never an absolute typical profile of a cheating husband, but there are many consistencies. Many men who have been married for more than five years may be tempted to cheat. This is nothing to say about the love that he has. Most marriages reach a plateau where the husband and wife stop trying so hard, feeling comfortable in the relationship. Having children also has an effect on the marriage. Since children take up the attention that was once freely given, it can place a strain on the relationship since not as much time is being spent making sure that the needs of your loved one are being met.

Married Mothers Cheat,Too

It’s not just men who cheat. Mothers who have been married for a long time are probably more likely to cheat than their husbands. This is mainly due to the fact that mothers generally put their lives on-hold, so that the husband and children have their needs met. Women are social individuals who have very powerful emotional needs. Since there are many women who put their careers and education on hold, they may feel neglected. This causes them to look for an emotional connection outside of the relationship; especially if their husbands no longer find them attractive, or there is a lull in the relationship itself.

The Typical Cheating Married Woman

Unlike their male counterparts, there is more of a formula that comprises the typical cheating married woman. The first sign is when a woman has been in the relationship with the same partner for years. The longer people are together, the easier it is for them to forget the special qualities that made them fall for each other in the first place. The second sign is if there have children between the two of them. When people have children, they no longer have the time to spend with each other the way that they used to. This makes the woman feel neglected and she might look outside the marriage for a connection.

Most Cheating Happens At The Office

Most cheating happens in the office because of the amount of time that people spend together. Between staying late, business trips, and cocktails after work, it is no wonder why it is so easy to slip-up and cheat — we get to know that person, forming a relationship with them. This is one of the reasons why the phrase work wife or husband exists. We see this in the movies all the time, where the husband ends up cheating on his wife with his secretary. Cheating at the office is also easier to cover up since we have to be in contact with that person anyway.

Women Also Look For Revenge

Women are highly emotional individuals. One problems with this is that when you upset them, they want to get back at you for hurting them. We see examples of this in movies, music videos, books, and in many other places. If she thinks that her man is cheating, she may try to one-up him and do it better. Women love being the object of men’s attention, and if it strays, she will find a way to get it back. In many cases, women who cheat out of revenge more than likely feel that they are not capable of getting your attention in any other way.

Women Are More Likely To Cheat On Holidays

The holidays seem to be the peak season for everyone. Just like the stereotype of their male counterparts, women are more likely to cheat on holidays than during any other time of the year. Why? It is because women feel the strain of being alone. If her husband is constantly at the office during special days, she may feel the need to have one of her male friends to come over and hang out during these times. This is possibly due to the fact that women are highly self-conscious and see the fact that their man is not on their arm during Valentine’s Day as a sign that they are not good enough.

Reasons For One-Night Stands

There are many reasons why people have one-night stands. For many, it is an easy way to fulfill their sexual needs without having to go on repeated dates, where they would have to spend extra cash on someone who they probably won’t maintain a relationship with. People will be able to enact their fantasies without having to remain with that person. There are also those who would like to try certain things, but would be too intimidated to test them with their long-term partner. They may also be afraid of getting hurt or have just come out of a horrible relationship.
