Yale just released a study of over 300,000 couples & these are the results:
86% of men who are just in a "relationship" admit to cheating
Only 57% of women who are just in a "relationship" to cheating
HOWEVER
79% of women who are MARRIED admit to cheating at some point in the marriage while only
51% of men who are MARRIED admit to cheating at some point in the marriage
Why do you think research suggests that women are the most faithful BEFORE marriage, while men are the most faithful AFTER marriage?!
Don't you find this interesting?!!!
I think it is simply b/c women are always b*tching about how much men are dogs yet behind closed doors we're admitting to much more sinister things!!! Haha we're such sneaky witches!
It only adds emphasis to what's bern known since the beginning of time...women are no more morally superior than men are. Regardless of what society tries to force down your throat, you always have a choice. Extreme examples aside...no one is holding a gun to your head.
Volunteers for Yale studies remain anonymous. No need for lie detectors.
A study involving 300,000 people?
I'm pretty sure they weren't worried a bout a couple of lies.

Yeah, still doesn't mean people wont lie.
Meh.
With all due respect, I'd assume that those numbers are UNDER-reported, not over-reported!
If the question was, "How many people have you killed?" lol I'm sure a lot of people would say none even if that was a lie
But a topic like cheating is so common & mainstream that it wouldn't make sense to lie. It's not like answering "yes" to that questions means you're alone or the only person who answered like you did lol
I found this study so interesting b/c we are a society of men-bashing!
When a man doesn't something deal-breaking, it's like all hell breaks loose & no matter what his childhood was like or excuse he has for his behavior, we don't wanna hear it & tell him to man up
But when a WOMAN is a slut or a cheater, everybody sympathizes with her b/c there must be some GRAND explanation (daddy issues, feeling alone) that excuses her behavior!
Hell even in these threads, most of these topics are about MEN & the bull they pull & do to us ladies. But according to research, men should be bashing us way harder than we do them lol
We loveeeee talking about how scandalous men are but when it's time to talk about how petty, trifling, scandalous, conniving, etc. we ladies can be sometimes, we hear CRICKETS!

Who are these 78% of women cheating with?
Would it really make a difference if we broke it down??! Cheating is cheating! Whether women are cheating with the mail man or with a lesbian, it's still cheating & is wrong!

To be honest, that's not shocking, marriage seriously affects women worse than men, but society makes us feel bad if we're not married with kids. Women don't cheat while in a relationship, because they don't want to prevent the "proposal" and marriage from occurring. Once they got the ring tho, everything that irritates you about the bastard roll plays in your mind.
Then whats the point in getting married if the woman can't handle the emotional stress that comes with being a family. Why don't she just stay single or just date why put pressure on a man to marry her and she turns around and cheats. ...click to expand
Well this is a good question to BOTH men & women!
Unfortunately, marriage is trial & error. Everyone goes into it "hoping" it'll last & praying they have what it takes to work through the kinks BUT...
Marriage is 1 of those things where you really won't know if it's meant for you until you're married. And if you realize it's not meant for you, you're probably already married lol
I'll never understand why people cheat in general!
Yes women raise all kinds of hell about men not being like they used to be & pouting b/c men aren't marrying them anymore. It's like, woman you went through all of that whining just to turn around & cheat/mess it all up?! Ugh
And the guys are fighting against the tide to be married b/c they want to get it all "out of their system" first but yet will still be "getting it out of their system" AFTER they're freakin' married as if they didn't comprehend the fact that you're supposed to do all of that BEFORE the marriage lol
This society is just 1 big ball of WTF! lol
Link?
Also, studies like this aren't always uber accurate. Mostly because people DO lie and/or don't divulge all the proper info.
Men cheating so much while unmarried is no shocker.
Women cheating while married isn't, either. After all, our society is constantly pressuring us into the 1950s ideal life- marriage and kids. They get into it and go "wtf, I don't want this after all!"
Guys have never really been pressured as much to get married as women have been. So when they approach marriage, it's on their terms when they're ready. Women are pressured by society to pair up asap before she dries up.
In turn, you have unhappy women and unsuspecting guys.
Doesn't make any cheating right, though.

My statement supports the fact that statistics DO, in fact, LIE.
So, no-- I was not rubbing your face in it-- quite the contrary.
Ive heard it said this way, too:
'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'
Sorry for the confusion. 😉

Have you been married?
This is just a couple of thoughts I had.
Traditionally, and in the past, men were more free to explore their sexuality and sow their wild oats with as many women as would let them, while women were expected to remain pure or with the reputation of being pure and were discouraged from getting out and exploring their sexuality (the good girls syndrome).
Men hit their sexual prime in their 20's, while women do in their 30's. So while men are ready to slow down and become more complacent, women are picking up in their sex drive.
So women are more interested in sex, more regrets for not sowing their oats, are more confident in themselves and go get it.
—
Not to say that men lose their sex drive, or its the man's fault, but sometimes husbands do become complacent and wives feel neglected. Then they meet someone that makes them feel alive, sexual, and they experience feelings that have been sleeping while they've been raising kids, working, cleaning, cooking, etc.

Here's a boots on the ground report from...well myself lol.
I have plenty of friends make and female. Most are in relationships all of them have cheated. My only problem is the obvious and yes I'll say it...the beating we men take. I may not be completely schooled on world culture but I don't see a gun to a woman's head pressuring her to be married. She pressures herself. That fact is white silly given the undertones of the topic...everybody is hooking up! But men get the rep of being dogs when the truth is women are perfectly fine with taking the "pressure" and using it as cover to satisfy their carnal lust while trying to make men pay for doing the same thing. Why do you think men are so reluctant to marry. Trying to make us fit a self created fairy tale and doing dirt on an equal basis at the same time. We say no thanks to that. Only to find someone who is more realistic and she may cheat on us as well.

No study on anything is 100% accurate. There's no such thing as ALL people on earth can fit into 1 category or relate to a specific situation.
That doesn't make the research less credible, no different than statistics on health, kids, crime, etc. that we keep in mind

Well that's why falling in love is a big RISK!
There's no such thing as a specific "type" of man or woman being exempt from cheating!
Doctors, librarians, politicians, priests, preachers, the homeless, the feisty, the outgoing, the introverted, the homebody, the socialite, the geek, the jock, the workaholic, the drug addict.....NONE Of these groups of people are exempt from cheating!
So even if you find the person that you feel is imperfectly perfect for you, you still take the risk that 1 day they may cheat. Should that stop you from loving though?
You could get into a car accident at any time that's not even your fault? DOES THAT STOP YOU FROM GETTING IN YOUR CAR EVERY DAY & driving to go do what you gotta do? No!!
An asteroid could fall out of the sky & onto your head or into your house. DOES THAT STOP YOU FROM WALKING OUTSIDE, ENJOYING NATURE OR GOING PLACES? No!!
Your family/friends could die from any cause at any time. DOES THAT STOP YOU FROM LOVING YOUR PARENTS, FRIENDS & SELF ALL JUST B/C LIFE COULD END AT ANY TIME? No!!!
Your boss could turn on you at any time & fire you/lay you off OR your career could suddenly end at any time. DOES THAT STOP YOU FROM GOING TO GET A JOB, GOING TO WORK EVERY DAY OR MAKING A LIVING FOR YOURSELF? No!!
So why is LOVE any different! Yes, it could suddenly end or you could get hurt, but if we have the courage to do/experience everything else in life even though we know it could crumble or come to an end at any time, why is taking the risk to "love," any different—!

I also want a link to the study, tbh. There's gotta be at least an abstract available out there if the study results aren't accessible to the public without a fee.
I Googled and couldn't find any info on a Yale study. The closest thing I found was the article I linked, and it's dated 2011. Not to say she's not telling the truth or anything, I'd just like to see more details about the study. There's age to factor in, how many results they threw out, and so on.
yep
Even if it is, if it's published, you should be able to see at least an abstract in the database. I'm drawing a total blank on one of the main ones that I had to use for research projects. If studies were peer reviewed and published, they show up online on this database.

Women are better cheaters. But I believe we cheat for different reasons, it doesnt make it BETTER of course not, I didnt say that. Just uhhh a statement!! LOL
But Im Suprised but not Shocked!
@Sassy: Well men cheat for different reasons too!
Each gender cheats for a variety of different reasons & wants some kind of "understanding" from others, almost as if the fact that they believe they have a "good reason" somehow makes it ok
There's never a good enough reason to willingly hurt someone & completely destroy the trust & intimacy in a relationship lol
If you're willing to let the relationship go to hell by cheating, why aren't you just as comfortable letting the relationship go to hell via breakup?!

I just don't think you should be commenting on how a married woman feels. You're just imagining. You haven't lived in those shoes and you have literally no idea how a married woman feels.

I have known a lot of women in my life personally and professionally. I find the idea that over 70% cheated during their marriage very hard to believe. It would be my experience that the article above reflects the facts much more closely.
I also have to say the same about males. A fair number of them do cheat, but it seems to me that most are faithful.
I am actually pretty jaded about people, I just don't see that many people bed hopping.

The facts are the facts though sweetheart
Infidelity is the #2 cause of divorce, which supports that ALOT more people than you think are in fact "bed hopping."
Keep in mind though that all marriages don't last forever. Someone who might've been married more than once might have only cheated in 1 marriage but not the next or the 3rd one; nonetheless, they'd still have to answer "YES" to the question
Also keep in mind that the question wasn't "Have you cheated & are STILL cheating?" The question was "Have you EVER cheated?" And sadly, a lot of people can say that at some point they have cheated, even if it was just once. Even if it was just emotional infidelity. Even if it was over 10 years ago. The answer still has to be YES

I understand what they're saying though. When you're not married & you see that a lot of the people who are married can't seem to juggle all of those things, it's only natural to ask yourself if YOU in fact could if you were to tie the knot.
I don't think it's fair to self to think you can't do it at all to the point where you fully run from the idea of marriage. But I feel that if more people asked themselves if they're built for marriage (since it's a job, & everybody isn't suited for every job) there'd be a lot less toxic/breakable marriages.
Marriage isn't for everybody. Everybody can't juggle kids, a husband/wife, their job & themselves all at once. The people who ARE married but yet keep falling down from all that luggage can attest to that. So I don't blame anyone for at least admitting that they have some anxiety about it

krys are you going to produce the link because without it this thread has no credibility...
I heard about this study on NBC 7 days ago & then on CNN 4 days ago. I was amazed at all the doctors, professors from Yale & psychologists who weighed in on this issue
And statistics on marriages being rocked by infidelity have been published 1,000 times over
So even if what they aired was "not credible" it doesn't change the fact that 500 other studies have been done on this same topic with staggeringly high numbers

I always felt woman cheated more than men they just rarely get caught. I compare females to cat because cats are sneaky just like how woman compare men to dogs because we walk around with that little pink thing sticking out. I do feel that woman cheat more because they are more sneaky, you never catch a cat tearing the house up always the dog because the cat is very, very stealthy...lmao thats my opinion though please don't take it to heart...click to expand
I got a visual @ "the little pink thing sticking out." I can't stop laughing.

^This is very well said
Married women I know that cheated or wanted to cheat were women who were not satisfied on an emotional level. Some of them felt unappreciated and some of them were bored and emotionally empty.
Married men I know who cheated and wanted to cheat were sexually bored and wanted to change. They were chasing chemistry and a good lay. And even though some statistics say men cheat for emotional reasons, my statistics proved otherwise. But of course you never know, everything is possible :/

On the news? Then why isn't this info available to the public? I'm just surprised it's not showing up anywhere at all. If the news can get their hands on it, so can the public.
Regardless, the numbers used all around are a bit on the high side. 600,000 people polled? Over half a million people polled? Really?
You can go on about facts as you please, but you've yet to provide a source backing such facts. The only reason I have my doubts is just the numbers alone. Studies don't fly like that.
Also, the news is retarded when it comes to reporting shit like that. They give the cliff's notes version and I'd rather see what those with the science degrees have to say on the matter, not people on TV that can barely read, write, or talk anymore (scary trend I've noticed in the media overall).
As far as the subject in general though, numbers or not, it wouldn't be surprising to find that women cheat more when in marriage. It's not right, but a lot of societal pressures are to blame. (My previous answer.)

Your own words were that you wouldn't be surprised that women cheat more than men
I come to this thread to tell you guys about research I found out about via those guys with those "Science degrees" who made their choice to tell the world about it via TV (blame them for taking it to the media, not me)...their research basically gives credibility to your OWN beliefs & yet you're questioning it? lol makes no sense
There are studies & research done on large masses of people every single day. I know b/c I have a Master's degree in Psychology & while I was in school, we were always getting involved in these large mass research/study groups, either answering polls ourselves that were also being given to hundreds of thousands of people OR going out & polling thousands of people to provide those results to the conductors of the study
I've personally done it so to say it doesn't happen is mere ignorance
They polled over 100,000 people about ObamaCare
They polled over 259,000 people on their feelings towards E-cigarettes
They polled almost 700,000 people in the United States on their feelings about abortion
Hell, I got mail like a week ago to participate in a study about Facebook & it's new role in divorce. And I was surprised when I got on facebook & saw many of the people on my friend's list talking about it & even sharing the countless articles about facebook being the #3 leading cause of divorce! It was a huge topic of interest & I wasn't surprised at the results b/c I MYSELF was 1 of the 90,000 people who contributed to that study! I'm so proud haha lol
If the conductors of these studies choose to air their results/conclusion on TV (like most of them do) that doesn't make their research any less credible!
I heard it come from the conductor's mouths themselves so I believe it is more credible. The news anchors didn't speak for them; they just aired a story that was brought to them. THAT makes it credible, no different than CNN finding their website, airing the website & airing the results to the public on their own does.

If the conductors of these studies choose to air their results/conclusion on TV (like most of them do) that doesn't make their research any less credible!
I heard it come from the conductor's mouths themselves so I believe it is more credible. The news anchors didn't speak for them; they just aired a story that was brought to them. THAT makes it credible, no different than CNN finding their website, airing the website & airing the results to the public on their own does.
Everywhere we look (magazines, tv, the media, newspapers, movies, books reality tv, etc.) there is a great demand for TRUTH about love, infidelity, sex, marriage, relationships, etc.
The demand for information on these things is at an all time high!! So yes there are much smaller polls of research done but there are also just as many larger polls being conducted. It just understandably, takes a lot more time to get those results & publish them
Out of 324 million people living in the United States, only polling 600,000 of them is only a small percent of the population. Simple mathematics

To be honest, that's not shocking, marriage seriously affects women worse than men, but society makes us feel bad if we're not married with kids. Women don't cheat while in a relationship, because they don't want to prevent the "proposal" and marriage from occurring. Once they got the ring tho, everything that irritates you about the bastard roll plays in your mind.
Have you been married?
No, but the idea of attempting to keep myself happy, my husband happy, and my kids happy, makes me scared. That's alot of responsibility.
All of that is hard. Been there.
I just don't think you should be commenting on how a married woman feels. You're just imagining. You haven't lived in those shoes and you have literally no idea how a married woman feels.
Well since you've been married, why don't you tell us how it feels? Also what are your thoughts on this article, why do YOU think married women cheat?click to expand
I already did on an earlier page.

I come to this thread to tell you guys about research I found out about via those guys with those "Science degrees" who made their choice to tell the world about it via TV (blame them for taking it to the media, not me)...their research basically gives credibility to your OWN beliefs & yet you're questioning it? lol makes no sense
There are studies & research done on large masses of people every single day. I know b/c I have a Master's degree in Psychology & while I was in school, we were always getting involved in these large mass research/study groups, either answering polls ourselves that were also being given to hundreds of thousands of people OR going out & polling thousands of people to provide those results to the conductors of the study
If you have a Masters then you'd understand exactly how studies work and getting funding for a study that large would require grants and massive resources to do so.
Also, legit sources don't "publish" their results via tv. There's professional journals for the various disciplines in which studies like this go to with their findings. This also makes me question this study and how legit it is. The numbers are incredibly high, and people have been known to do "studies" and totally skew everything so it produces the information that they want. It makes me question the source of the info, and also why you think it would be any more legitimate since they chose to go to the media only and not peer reviewed journals. Published? No? Peer reviewed? No? Of course it's going to be questioned. If you were so highly educated and familiar with research, you'd know there is a lot wrong with this situation and not sit there and quote it as the gospel truth.
And my "beliefs?" I said I wouldn't be surprised if it were true because of societal factors involved. I don't wholly believe that this study is legit because the whole thing seems incredibly strange. However, again, the biggest red flag are those percentages and the numbers used. I want to know the age groups they polled. How long were these people in relationships? How many results did they throw out? What questions were asked? What department at Yale conducted the study? What are the names of the PhDs who put their name on this information? Why would Yale go directly to the media and not publish this in a journal?

300,000 couples, excuse me.
600,000 people.
Statistics don't lie.
Wrong. I can make statistics pretty much tell you anything you want to hear.click to expand
Yep. 🙂
Mark Twain was a Sag.
Krys just fess up that you pulled Yale out of your ass already
Well one, it's not IF I have a Master's degree. I DO have one. Let's get that straight right now. I worked my azz off to get that degree & I'll be damned if some anonymous person online thinks that 1 post of mine justifies discrediting my degree as a whole
2. Just b/c YOU, 1 small fish in a HUGE pond, didn't find this study doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just b/c YOU don't believe it, doesn't mean it's not true. Just b/c some stats are not 100% reliable, doesn't give you the right to discredit the ones that are
And you believing the numbers being high is just an opinion that's only based on YOUR perspective & YOUR experiences. The world & it's issues are MUCH bigger than you. Much bigger than me & all of us.
It's like the guy in the small town where homosexuality isn't as recognized or outed like in other places. That guy's perception on the "statistics regarding homosexuality" will be completely DIFFERENT than the guy's perception who lives in say San Diego, or Atlanta.
My point is that unless you're qualified to determine whether a particular statistic is "valid" (other than just your random beliefs or random opinion that the numbers "seem too high") you are in no place to question anything scientific.
I read about a study the other day on homosexuality & its prevalence in U.S. culture. 5 different studies conducted in different regions of the U.S. that polled that over 500,000 people each concluded that more than 50% of the U.S. population is NOT heterosexual, meaning not 100% straight.
In order for them to have come to this conclusion, they didn't just poll 5 people honey. They polled several hundreds of thousands of people! Once again, polls targeting huge masses of people are done every day regarding politics, health, cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, religion, homosexuality, marriage, etc.

And to say that studies are not "published" in the media is just downright wrong!
Is that just your opinion? lol Science & statistics is much bigger than your opinion. Sorry to break it to ya, sweetheart!
Studies are published, then showcased via newspapers, television, internet, magazines, dissertations, etc. all the time!
It's not enough to just say, "Well I feel the #'s are too high." You've gotta come with more than that honey! You've gotta be qualified, participate in studies & personally know how the process works before your opinion on how high/low numbers "should be."
I think the fact that statistics say 1 in 3 women b/w the ages of 21 & 45 will get breast cancer BUT look around! Who am I to question such numbers when I didn't study the data myself?!!
I'm not saying the study is real. Just saying that you've gotta come with more than just "your opinion" to have credibility yourself when questioning data

You can't dispute data that you haven't analyzed/studied yourself! Statistics 101.
That's why when scientists see staggering statistics & question them, they don't just stop at "Well I don't think that's right." No they actually conclude their OWN studies before determining the credibility of anything.
Then once their OWN data either supports or Doesn't support the original data, THEN they step forward with CREDIBLE opinions that the conclusions/data is incorrect or not credible.
Again Statistics 101.

Don't "honey" me. You're the one who cannot provide credible evidence and also seem to suffer from reading comprehension and butthurtitis. WHY you're getting so defensive and offended is beyond me. If you can't recall who or where the info came from, fine. I read shit all the time and don't always remember where I saw it. But I at least admit to that, and if asked for evidence, I'll see if I can find what it was I was referring to. If not, oh well.
...but not this insane back-pedalling, defensive, butthurt bullshit approach you've chosen. Get over it and get over your insane insecurity.
