Women about as likely as men to cheat

	posted by Thomas on Tuesday June 24, @03:55PM from the News dept.
	A survey conducted in Germany reveals that women are about as likely to cheat as men. No wonder the feminists are struggling to prevent men from having paternity tests done without the mother's approval. Also note that women are twice as likely as men to cheat frequently.

Yeah, they blame the Internet, too (Score:1) by mcc99 on Tuesday June 24, @05:20PM EST (#1) (User #907 Info) Notice how they seem to focus on the Internet as a major "blame source" for the upsurge. They don't make excuses like that when reporting on male infidelity. "The Internet made me do it! I'm just a weak woman!"

This really shouldn't be a surprise (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Wednesday June 25, @12:57AM EST (#3) The whole fact that women have that whole "faithful" steryotype going for them is based on faulty and incorrect research in the first place. Some scientist just studied a species of fruit fly, noticed that the males seemed despreate to furtilise anything, and mixed that with the thought that men have millions of expendable sperm, while female have a few valuable eggs, and set up the boundries. In fact, when you look at the whole of creation, females are almost insistant with mating with as many males as possible, and the males tend to develope rather strange ways to KEEP her faithful.(Stick insects, for example, copulate for about 10 weeks at a time, whereas a species of groundhog follows his female around and gets defencive if anything comes nearby. He even sits on the hole she goes down to deny access to anyone else.) Sorry for the wierd science facts, but I just got a book chaulk full of stuff like this and I've been reading like crazy.

Statistical difference (Score:2) by Thomas on Wednesday June 25, @08:27AM EST (#4) (User #280 Info) It's worth noting that carefully run studies on behavior typically have an uncertainty of about +/- 4%. It's only when you get a difference of 8% in the study's results that there is a statistical difference. If the same uncertainty applies here, there is no statistical difference in the the cheating rates of 53% and 59%. I've also read (sorry, I don't have citations or links) of two studies showing that among young married couples (under the age of about 35), women are more likely than men to cheat. Perhaps the numbers are close to those for battery, with 1/3 of newlywed women and 1/4 of newlywed men battering their spouses.
