It turns out there is a certain breed of men who continue to cheat on their loved ones — and it has to do with either the type of job they have or the lack thereof.

According to a new study conducted by the Institute for Family Studies in a blog post, men in high-power positions — like CEOs, surgeons and physicians — and those unemployed are more likely to cheat than their counterparts.

Writer Wendy Wang studied occupational data from the General Social Survey (GSS) to conclude that 18% of men in these top positions have been unfaithful in their marriage. And on the flip side of things, unemployed men ages 25 to 54 are more likely to have extramarital sex since about 1-5 of them have already cheated.

The 80% is women who file for divorce, I don’t think it means all of them are cheating.

So men in high power positions, unemployed, under employed, or supported by their wives, did the miss anyone? Basically, men tend to cheat. Big news.

I think you missed the point. One one side it’s very successful men, and it’s the opposite. Most men are in between those two.

Unemployed men have a lot of free time. And for some demographics of women, a lot of attractive guys in that group.

I remember in Feb 1998 when America’s federal CEO wagged his finger at us and cobfirmed he was a faithful husband. He was the same executive who got Ukraine to give up their nukes and he gave us NAFTA/GATT.

Perhaps, but I suspect women are more looking for financial security than good looks

Yes, many women are. But there are also plenty of women chasing deadbeats, right?

No, but all of those 80% of women filing for divorce are withholding sex from their husbands.

Which is worse? Withholding sex - or cheating?

Well, the vows specifically mention staying faithful, but the other one is implied.
