Who cheats more often

Almost every girl at least once in her life thought that at this very second, when her beloved is not around, he may be cheating or thinking about it. In family life, this paranoia becomes even stronger. So, for example, many women who are married are sure that as soon as their husband leaves the threshold of the apartment, he at the same moment begins to look for himself a suitable option for betrayal, looking at the girls on the street.

But here's a surprise - both men and women are capable of changing. The only difference here is that women may be prompted to cheat by other factors than men. Simply put - cheating does not depend on gender.

Psychologists managed to find out that men and women react differently to cheating. If a man catches his mistress behind such a betrayal, then his first reaction will be aggression and rage. They will be aimed at both lovers, and not just at the woman. As a rule, men do not think about retaliation.

For women, everything is somewhat different. Many, having learned about the infidelity on the part of a man, begin to regret the unrealized opportunities and enlist that, if the opportunity arises, they will take revenge and change in return. Well, after a successfully implemented revenge, women begin to sort things out with the infidel. The percentage of women who break up with a traitor is very small. Those who did not leave continue to live in fear of another betrayal and the possible fall in love of a man with the one with whom he spends the nights away from home.

In general, it is safe to say that the loyalty of men and women is a very controversial opinion. Who cheats more often? Everything can depend both on the personal preferences of men and women, and on the situation in the relationship in general.

Scientists' opinion on female infidelity2

So, you found out that the loyalty of men and women is real, but cheating also happens on two fronts. Much is known about male infidelity, since it was previously believed that women do not cheat in principle. Now let's look at female infidelity.

It used to be thought that women had a craving for monogamous relationships since ancient times. That is, when a woman finds herself one partner and stays with him for life. It has also been repeatedly proven by scientists that supposedly women have retained the craving for such relationships to this day. But where does treason come from then? Why do women have lovers? Let's figure it out now.

This paradox has recently been sorted out by Dr. David Bass, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Texas. He was also helped by his colleague named Kari Goetz, who is a professor of psychology at the University of California.

Together they came to the conclusion that the craving for monogamous relationships was not inherent in all women on the planet. So evolution provided for possible retreats, namely polygamy. Even then, in ancient times, cheating on the part of women, and men too, was practiced. Men did it out of need, and women, in general, too, but in a different way.

Since the race had to be continued, it was considered normal to have several partners in stock, because you never know for sure whether a man will return from a hunt or fall from the claws of some animal. And the risk of dying from various diseases among men was then very high, so women cheated out of good intentions, since procreation was necessary. Then the loyalty of men and women was in last place. The main thing is to survive and continue the race.

But now let's go back to our days. Here, scientists conducted a study for which they invited 7,000 men and women in relationships. They managed to find out that among those women who are prone to adultery, and there are more than 400 of them, all have an altered AVPR1A gene. Among scientists, this gene was called the gene for treason. And, perhaps, it was he who was laid by nature in women since ancient times.

Summing up, it should be said once again that cheating is inherent in relationships devoid of love and understanding between partners. Cheating is also possible if a person is not used to living in limited conditions, that is, in a close relationship with someone. There is no need to prevent this, because if a person wants to change, then he will do it, and prohibitions and persuasions to change his mind will not lead to anything.
