My friend Juan, a quite attractive guy, He approached a girl who kept looking at him in a bar where we were having tapas, and asked her if she had a boyfriend. Looking straight into his eyes, she said, “Yes, but I’m not a fan of that.”
Contrary to what some may think, millions of people in the world are and have been unfaithful Traditionally, infidelity has been seen as an anti-human behavior, something that only bad people, those without heart, commit. In general, adultery is considered the exception. But is it really like that?
According to a survey by the website “The Richest”, there are more infidelities than many individuals imagine. Additionally, the website revealed the 10 most unfaithful countries in the world.
Infidelity is considered the greatest betrayal between members of the couple.
We all have an idea in our heads of what infidelity is because it is a very common topic, especially today. In fact, infidelity is considered one of the greatest betrayals between members of the couple and there are few marriages that, once adultery has been committed, manage to overcome it.
Infidelity is something prohibited and, although it is increasingly accepted, the majority of individuals affirm that they would not be unfaithful because they know that they would not like to suffer it themselves. Even so, on many occasions, they can become so. When committing the act of infidelity, they usually justify themselves by telling themselves that the other member of the couple is to blame (what is known as cognitive dissonance). This happens because bearing the weight of having been unfaithful (thinking that infidelity is caused by bad people) can cause a lot of suffering.
Infidelity is perceived differently by men and women
But are there differences when it comes to perceiving infidelity between men and women? Well, it seems that yes. At least that is the conclusion of a research carried out by the University of Kansas in which 475 subjects participated. In the survey, Men only considered that there is infidelity when there is a sexual act On the other hand, women only consider it infidelity when there is an emotional desire.
Besides, 90 percent of women considered a kiss an act of adultery In contrast, only 75 percent of men considered a kiss to be infidelity. Regarding “sexting” with other people outside the relationship, that is, sending hot messages on the phone, only 51 percent of men considered it infidelity, while 68 percent of women stated that this act was part of infidelity.
The workplace is the favorite place to commit infidelity
As for the preferred place to commit infidelity, the contact manager Ashley Madison, which collected data from 170,000 American users, claims that 68 percent of infidelities take place in the workplace. Furthermore, another research, this time from Harvard University, concluded that Wednesday afternoons are the time of the week when most sexual adventures with lovers occur.
The 10 most unfaithful countries
The Web The Richest has carried out a study to find out which countries are the most unfaithful. To do this, they have used survey data from Durex and from different dating sites. Below you can see the list of the 10 most unfaithful countries in the world:
In position number 10 is Finland In this politically correct country, infidelities are not so frowned upon and are considered “parallel relationships” A page survey Match.com found that one in five men had had relationships with at least 10 women, seven times more than women.
9. United Kingdom: 36%
British gentlemen are not traditionally known as unfaithful people. But that may have changed. In fact, the Ashley Madison website, which helps unfaithful people find their extramarital friends, at least 1 million Britons are interested in cheating on their partners
8. Spain: 39%
This Mediterranean country is associated with passionate romances, so It is strange that Spain is not higher on the list But it is possible that the traditional mentality is the reason that in the country of tapas and flamenco, infidelity is still a taboo subject.
7. Belgium: 40%

3. Italy: 45%
Italians have a reputation for womanizers. In fact, Giacomo Casanova He is the seducer par excellence and was famous for sleeping with hundreds of women… and yes, he was Italian. Will infidelity be in the genes of Italian citizens?
