10 Types Of People Who Cheat The Most According To Science
Are blonde ladies shady? Find out!
Weheartit Let's face it: no one on earth actually wants to date a cheater, but oftentimes we don't see the signs that our beloved boyfriend or girlfriend is secretly a shady little liar who's about to ruin your life.
Forget him answering his second cell phone in the closet every night or her being less affectionate with you and drooling over your best friend when he walks in the room. What you really need to be asking yourself is: Is your girlfriend blonde? Is your guy addicted to Twitter? Is he turning 29?
Through journal studies and surveys of users on cheating websites, science seems to now know the people who cheat the most and what makes someone more likely to be unfaithful — and it's not looking so good for a lot of people. We're on to you, cheaters!
But does someone's height, age or first name really make them more (or less) likely to cheat, or are these things strange coincidences?
You might even run into a few bad eggs that have been unfaithful that didn’t have a single one of these characteristics. Then, you’ll run into some of the most faithful people who can check off every trait on the list.
The truth is, just because your boyfriend or girlfriend likes to obsessively shop or has blonde hair doesn’t exactly mean they’re being unfaithful behind your back, so don’t let your paranoia take control just yet.
The only way to know for sure if your partner is cheating on you isn’t to assume simply based on the amount of time they spend on Twitter.
The only way you can know is if they have in fact actually cheated on you or if you have caught them in the act of infidelity — but if you really, truly trust your partner, is there really anything to worry about?
If you do already have suspicions, these characteristic traits might help you decide whether or not your partner may be cheating on you. Well, only those who have dated these 10 types of people may know the truth about their philandering tendencies.
And, until you do the all dating legwork, we're just going to give you the cold, hard facts and let you make an educated decision yourself on these people who cheat the most.
You might want to try your best to keep your heart away from these types of people — just to be extra safe.
