Forget the official statistics


Recommended Posts

If you had a gun to your head and had to guess as closely as possible - all joking and political/bitter attitudes aside - what percentage of married woman cheat on their husbands at some point in their marriage? What percentage cheat regularly?

 

Same for men.

I haven't looked on any statistics, because 1) they don't say anything for the individual person and 2) they'd ruin the last scraps of faith in humanity I have.

 

Regular cheating? I'd say 60%. Hopefully lower, but the amount of people who are too ignorant to see what's going on and the amount of people who are in denial about what's going on is too damn high.

 

Cheated once in the marriage... hmm, that's more difficult. You know, in the infidelity forum there are mostly people posting who've been faithful themselves, sometimes for whole decades, so that makes me quite hopeful. Still going to say 70%. As long as the older generations are alive, who've had better things to do post-war than screw around with strangers I hope we'll stay away from the 100%-mark.

 

But the way things are developing nowadays... my mom's already told me I'd most likely marry someone older than me, concerning my own consequent boundaries. On the other hand, a big applause here for assisted reproductive technology! :p

I don't trust the statistics since people will lie about such things - even to themselves. My gut tells me that more women cheat then men because it just so damn easy for women. I'd say it's maybe 70% of women and 65% of men cheat at some point during their marriage. It would be higher - like 90% - for men if women pursued them with the same zeal that men pursue women.

Serial cheaters? I seriously have no real idea. Maybe somewhere around 10%.
