The Truth About Women

Bella, my comment was VERY ironic that's why I added the devil smiley.

Come on Francis, I know you better than that.

Peggy Vaughn, who's been featured on Oprah! and CNN, has helped thousands of folks recover from affairs. As the extramarital-affairs expert behind AOL's "Ask Peggy" forum and as a woman who's been married for 40 years to her high school sweetheart--who cheated on her for seven years while she kidded herself that he was remaining faithful--she certainly knows what she's talking about. She says that to successfully overcome an unfaithful spouse or companion, you have to work through the myths of monogamy. It's not just men, or men who travel a lot on business, or women with supermodel good looks, who cheat. It's people of all ages, all occupations: from pastors to postal workers to, well, presidents. In other words, everyone is at risk for betraying or being betrayed.
Studies conservatively estimate, Vaughan reveals, that 60 percent of men and 40 percent of women will have an affair. "These figures are even more significant when we consider the total number of marriages involved, since it's unlikely that all the men and women having affairs happen to be married to each other," she says. "If even half the women having affairs (or 20 percent) are married to men not included in the 60 percent having affairs, then at least one partner will have an affair in approximately 80 percent of all marriages."

Vaughn outlines the societal causes and supporters of affairs, from the commercialization of sex in every visible nook and cranny of our world to our lifelong tendency to surround sex with secrecy. She also lists the common desperate measures that people take when they suspect they're being cheated on, and why they don't work. (Vaughn herself resorted to becoming a gourmet cook, wearing sexy underwear, and acting like a sex fiend in bed, all to no avail.) She also tells what to expect during a confrontation, and includes copious techniques for rebuilding self-esteem. There's also information about how to choose a marriage counselor or group therapist and, even more important, when to stop seeing one. For couples--especially those with children--debating whether to divorce or remain married, there's plenty of proven guidance to be found here. --Erica Jorgensen

Talking about children, Hawkeye, you are behaving like one, in all stubborness.

You can obviously find on the internet all kinds of crap even the ones which are apparently plausible.

Just because they suit your pretenses.

But in this case, they are not true.

Infidelity rates are much lower than the boasting machos pretend it to be.

That why I don't care showing you more figures..

Yes, please, don't confront me with my ignorance.

You have enough to do with your own, as you have fully documented in many threads..

One thing, apart from the fact that I've been reading Kinsey's reports for long years, is that your experience on women doesn't feel really convincing.

So you can continue to utter your nonsense...

Infidelity research has revealed that significant numbers of individuals are going outside of their primary relationship and becoming extradyadically involved with other relational partners (e.g. Boekhout et al. 1999; Feldman & Cauffman, 2000; Hansen, 1987; Spanier & Margolis, 1983; Wiederman & Hurd, 1999). Greeley (1994) reports that 11% of women and 21% of men reported engaging in sex with someone other than there spouse during their marriage. Additionally, Hansen (1987) reports that 70.9% of men and 57.4% of women reported being unfaithful to a dating partner.

In groundbreaking research back in 1948, Alfred Kinsey decreed as many as 50 per cent of American husbands were indulging.
Later, Shere Hite provocatively claimed that 72 per cent of men married for more than two years had cheated. More cautious voices, meanwhile, say you can't pinpoint the prevalence because, in a pattern of behaviour chronicled by the likes of Dolly Parton, cheatin' hearts lie to their partners - and they lie to surveys, too.

Roughly 50% of individuals in married relationships engage in some form of infidelity at some point in their marriage (Drigotas, Safstrom, & Gentilia, 1999).

Alfred Kinsey has found in his studies that 50% of males and 26% of females had extramarital sex [1]. Depending on studies, it was estimated that 26-50% of men and 21-38% women[2], or 22.7% of men and 11.6% of women had extramarital sex[3]. Other authors say that between 20% and 25% Americans had sex with someone other than their spouse[4]. Durex's Global Sex Survey has found that 44% of adults worldwide have had one-night extramarital sex and 22% have had an affair[5]. But there were also studies that have shown rates of extramarital sex as low as 2.5%[2]. As many authors say, this kind of estimates are probably understated because extramarital sex is commonly disapproved.

And when you talk about civility, you should learn what it means, something far beyond your limited perception, not knowing me at all.

Unlike me about yours, you cannot assert a lack of civility from my own posts.

HA HA!

I fell for Mr Wolf because I told him he could stay with me at my hotel while I was on vacation, but not to expect a long relationship afterwords..

I never seen a man walk to fast in my life.


I think we got to my hotel in less then 5 minutes
