Study: Women More Likely to Cheat with Neighbors than Men
Shocking results from a new survey have revealed that women are more likely to have an affair with a neighbor than men – on the condition that it is just a one-night-stand.
The survey we have conducted delved into the home life of 4,347 male and female cheaters, and their behavior in their local neighborhood.
The results shows that men are far more cautious when it comes to cheating close to home with 44% saying it’s just too risky. They’re also unlikely to be suspicious of others, with 75% of men saying they would take no interest if they saw their neighbor receiving frequent visits from unfamiliar people.
Men have a fairly innocent approach when it comes to flirting with their neighbors: one-third of men say the best way to seduce your neighbor is to time outings so you bump into them. Meanwhile, more than half of the women surveyed said they would tantalize their neighbor by leaving the curtains open while getting changed.
Founder and CEO of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said the results showed women know what they want and how to get it. Interestingly, the study also reveals solidarity among cheaters.
“Not one man or woman surveyed would inform the cheater’s partner without speaking to the cheater first if they suspected an affair. This shows an understanding among the cheating community. The majority of cheaters surveyed confessed they would take a little pleasure in knowing their neighbor had a dirty little secret,” Mr. Vedal said.
