Men’s Intuitive Infidelity Instinct

A new study of 203 straight couples’ affairs has revealed that while men are 50% more likely to have cheated than women (29% compared to 18.5%) they were 20% better at catching out their erring partners.

The Independent reported that men were correct about their women’s infidelity 94% of the time compared to 80% for women, prompting study chief Paul Andrews of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond to declare that men are generally more perceptive.

“We found that men tended to be honest about their affairs whereas women tended to under-report infidelities by about 10 per cent,” he told the newspaper, "Women are probably more reticent in disclosing information. They appear to be so much better at concealing their infidelity whereas men are better at detecting infidelity, based on this evidence."

The study’s findings correlated fairly closely with statistics unearthed in the Observer’s (massive) annual sex poll which last month said that 22% of men and 13% of women in relationships admitting to cheating with 71% cheating more than once. Women were also less likely to believe they’d been cheated on, the Observer added, with married people the least suspicious.

In yet another infidelity study published last week Florida-based psychotherapist Gary Neuman polled 100 faithful and 100 unfaithful husbands for his book ‘The Truth about Cheating’ and discovered that sex was rarely the reason men strayed.

“The No. 1 answer, 48 per cent, was emotional dissatisfaction at home. And that fit with another amazing statistic: 88 per cent of the men said the mistress was no better-looking or was not in better shape than their own wives,” he told Canadian newspaper the Globe and Mail, “It's not about sex. It's much more about a lack of thoughtful gestures at home,” he suggested.

Time magazine, meanwhile, dived into Ruth Smythers’ seminal 1894 marriage guide ‘Instruction and Advice for the Young Bride’ for relationship advice and unearthed some perennial advice from the Victorian sex columnist.

“Some young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity and pleasure! Beware such an attitude!” Ms Smythers advised.

“One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten,” she added, “Give little, give seldom, and above all give grudgingly."
