Is it true that men cheat more often than women: here are the survey results

There is a stereotype in society that men are more prone to cheating than women.

And indeed: according to survey results, men are somewhat more active than women, if we compare them by this indicator.

True, the difference between the sexes is not that great.

In addition, it is important to consider the fact that the reliability of the information depends on the honesty of the respondents who took part in the study, and it may be more difficult for women to admit to cheating due to social expectations.

By age 34, roughly equal numbers of men and women admit to infidelity.

But over the years, the difference increases, and in old age it becomes increasingly statistically significant.

For example, among people aged 20 to 29, 11% of men and 10% of women cheat.

And among those over 80, the number of unfaithful people is already 26% among men and 13% among women.

Perhaps it is not so much a matter of age as it is a matter of different generations' views on fidelity.
