WHY do women cheat?

A new survey from Victoria Milan — a dating site for married people seeking affairs — points to the fact that they find their husband or partner really, really annoying, the Huffington Post reports.

The website polled 6,000 women on the site and 73 per cent of them said the main reason they decided to commit adultery was because they were annoyed by their partner’s character flaws and behaviour.

The number one complaint — 19 per cent — the women brought up was their husband or partner’s lack of humour. The second largest complaint (16 per cent) was that the husband or partner was not understanding enough, with the third most common complaint is that their partner is a dud in bed (14 per cent).

Unsurprisingly, more than half of the women admitted they were looking for a lover who did not possess the trait they found so obnoxious in their partner.

Earlier this month Victoria Milan released details of a survey with 3200 female members which showed that a person’s body is the number one source of attraction, with money the second most popular reason.

More than half the women surveyed said they would like to have an affair with a sport’s star.

The hottest sports were surfing (23.4 per cent) with football, swimming, baseball, and tennis the next hottest.
