People Working In These Jobs Are Most Likely To Cheat On Their Partner
People working in certain jobs are more likely to cheat on their partners, according to new research.
Adultery statistics vary across studies and regions, but it’s estimated that around 20 to 40 percent of married individuals in the United States have engaged in extramarital affairs at some point in their lives.
It tends to be influenced by factors such as age, gender, and cultural norms.
But could jobs play a factor too? New research suggests this may well be the case.
A survey from the ‘infidelity dating site’ Victoria Milan asked 5,658 females to provide insight on their jobs, per the Mirror.
It uncovered that a whopping 65 percent sneak around their workplace and betray their partners.
But don’t be fooled by all the excitement and thrill – 85 percent don’t recommend mixing business with pleasure.
So, why do they risk it all for a little fling in the office corridors?
Cheaters say it spices up the daily grind – making work more exciting, fun, and sometimes even easier.
It’s also an easy place to find a connection with someone and somewhere to hide for the illicit illiason.
According to nearly 70 percent of the women surveyed, a worrying aspect is the relationship ending badly and having to continue working with the person.
More than one in five said that if rumors about an affair start in the office, it’s very likely the partner will find out.
Despite this, only 10 percent shared any concerns for it affecting their careers.
Sigurd Vedal, founder and chief executive of Victoria Milan, says the poll shows that people are more into having fun than advancing in their careers.
“The survey clearly shows that even though there’s a risk to your career, having an affair at work makes life a lot more pleasant,” he said.
“At the same time, the majority of cheaters would steer clear of mixing work with pleasure – not because it damages their career, but because they are at risk of being found out, or will feel uncomfortable.”
It turns out that bankers, brokers, and analysts are the top love cheats out there – which doesn’t come as a surprise if you’ve watched The Wolf of Wall Street.
Next is people working in aviation, such as pilots or flight attendants, which makes sense as they will have long periods away from home.
This is followed by healthcare professionals, who will also have hectic schedules.
CEOs, managers, and secretaries come next, then those in sports, like athletes and fitness instructors.
So, there you have it.
