Study Shows Men More Tempted To Stray Then Women

In a research study undertaken by Canada's McGill University and published in this month's Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, men who hadn't 'planned' ways to deal with a pretty and single woman while in a relationship with another were more tempted than those who had.

The study ran 724 heterosexual college-aged men and woman in serious relationships through a battery of seven 'temptation' tests to see how each person fared when faced with an attractive and single person of the opposite sex. One test found that men were twelve percent less likely to forgive their girlfriend if they'd already met a single and attractive woman, yet when the women were given the same scenario but with the roles reversed, the gals were eighteen percent more likely to forgive their boyfriends.
