In this era of side chics and slay queens, cheating has seemingly been on a fast rise.
A recent study found that women actually find a man more attractive once they find out that he is married or has a girfriend.
Although this might not go down so well with a handful of people, but like they say, the truth is usually bitter.
The question that might come to an average person's mind is why it is so - well, it is because according to the study, most of these women think that married men are more likely to be kind and faithful.
The outcome of the findings was following an experiment which tested the notion of “mate-choice copying”, which is seen in female birds and fish.
It can offer an evolutionary advantage by boosting their chances of finding a good sexual partner.
Researchers asked 49 female volunteers to rate men’s faces, men’s hands and a piece of art, but when they were shown others’ ratings and asked again, they moved 13 per cent closer to the average facial score and 14 per cent closer to the average art rating.
Research leader, Dr. Kate Cross, from the University of St Andrews, said: “Women appear to copy the mate preferences of other women, but this might simply be because humans have a general tendency to be influenced by the opinions of others.”
While this might birth a whole new debate, it is pertinent to know that quite a handful of women are comfortable with the 'side chic' tag and do not care whose ox is gored.
In fact, it has become a trend that the society has decided to embrace since it appears there is nothing that can be done about it.
Some say it is part of the dividends of westernization whereas so many others believe it is just a thing of choice.
Whichever one, it is always safest to stick with one partner.
