Who Will Be Filling Your Partner's Stockings This Christmas?

Dec. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- A series of studies carried out by Smooch.com and Mancentral.com highlights that when it comes to trusting cheats, men and women simply can't agree.

Members of the free dating website Smooch.com were asked: Once a cheat, always a cheat? 64% of women surveyed 'definitely' agreed with the statement compared with only 45% of men.

Interestingly, the results showed that men were more likely to forgive and forget with 36% of men responding, 'People make mistakes', whilst less than a quarter of women agreed with the statement. It is debatable whether men are speaking from experience, or whether they truly are more forgiving than women.

It would also appear that age and sexuality bare no significant effect on the male perspective. Results from the free gay chat site ManCentral.com paralleled that of Smooch; 40% of gay men 'definitely' believed that once a cheat, always a cheat.

Additional breakdowns revealed:
People with a PhD (67%) are almost twice as likely to respond 'Definitely' than those with a Masters Degree (34%).
Unsurprisingly, divorcees (59%) are less forgiving than those who are married (29%).
People in a relationship (19%) are nearly 4 times as likely to choose 'It's only cheating if you get caught' than single respondents (5%).
The starsign Cancer is least forgiving with 64% choosing 'Definitely' whilst the most forgiving starsign is Gemini with 34% choosing 'People make mistakes'.
