Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below A recent legit joint survey by Notre Dame and Stanford U said that over 70% of married American males who earn more than some nominal amount like $70 grand per year have had an affair outside of marriage in the past decade. i think the # is higher. how about it guys? oh, and most (>50%) of those affairs were with someone from the workplace, most never caused marital strife, and most last over 6 months...
Married men cheating - 70% plus do? how 'bout you?

hey that's a loaded poll.... hehehehhe been taking lessons from me??
the over 6 months is 50% of the 70% so 35% of all men at a minimum. sample size seemed statistcially significant to me and i personally checked the t-stats and z-scores and they all seemed fine. i believe the survey - was just wondering what posters here would say when surveyed.
my guess is...
1. posters here are better looking than the general public
2. posters here are more narcissistic than the general public
3. posters here would have more aversion to STDs than general public b/c risks with their bodies are borne out with gear not other ways
4. posters here have same or lesser soci-economic (perhaps more students, so less money than general public) status.
therefore, posters here would have less affairs than the same group for the survey - the survey's sample group was probably male urban professionals, 25 years old plus... predominantly white (law of #'s), etc.,
my thoughts...

Lying is one thing I have big issues with. I can get over a lot of stuff. However, if I think you have lied to me, then I lose a lot of trust, if not all my trust in that person. I had problems with a person last year and our friendship almost ended when I thought he had lied to me about an ex. Long story. I agree with big. I don't see how a person can cheat on someone then go right back to them and pretend nothing has ever happened. That is all while they are possibly thinking on the next time they can cheat or continue the affair. 
I dont buy that study because for a man to make a "nominal" amount of money usually means he was nstilled with old fashioned values that gave him the drive, work ethic, etc. to get to that point of earning a high income. Included with those old fashioned values would be fidelity of course.
superdave - i beg to differ. i think its just the opposite. if a man earns $70K plus, which actually puts them in middle or better class right, even though this doesn't sound like much money, its more than most 23 year olds earn fresh out of school, so that makes the sample data...
1. older than fresh out of school
2. usually working in a professional or office type environment, where that kind of thing (between married or unmarried people) goes on quite a bit, and
3. i don't think fidelity is a pre-requisite for high(er) earning potential. in fact i think its close to the opposite - the more you earn (and a measly $70k doesn't qualify one here) the more power you have over women in and around your employ who may do the same job and earn less (another story for another day) or may be your secretary, etc.,
so i have to disagree - i think its just about the opposite of what you said, superdave (king)... my .02cts Cin

I'd have to agree with this statement. However as soon as they do cheat then the woman is immediately in control for she has the potential to tell others around the office, or worse his wife. Now this is especially bad if the woman is in a subordinate role, and not as bad if she is at the same level or a lower level but not a direct report.
The numbers do seem a little high, but I'm sure this goes on way more than anyone thinks.
