Um, what?
Women are not honest to researchers/pollsters regarding their infidelities. You need to read your sources critically, as a scientist would!

(Guess who?)Or an unmarried partner in the mix, who would not have been included in the study. That line of reasoning is certainly valid for some studies, like those where men have six times more sexual partners than women, but perhaps not as suspect in this case. The study I’m talking about is here, by the way:
http://www.academia.edu/5408999/Changes_...h_policies
The six to one ratio is roughly the number of reported sexual partners between men and women in France in 1970. It’s narrowed, but it’s still questionably high, unless there was an official “village bicycle” in parts of France in 1970 that’s in the process of being phased out.
Typically, though, there are direct crossovers -- individuals who are once-divorced will marry once-divorced individuals, twice-divorced, etc. But, even so, people who cheat typically do so with other married individuals; it is just that men are more forthright about their shenanigans than are women when speaking to pollsters and other researchers. I do not know how anyone can realistically expect to correct for such biases in their datasets, and so, I am more inclined to believe the adhoc judgments of professional researchers in this area than the summarized statistical data.
This is what differentiates the hard sciences from the soft ones.
