Do you think most men who travel a lot cheat?

[Anonymous]

If you respect yourself and your spouse, you won’t cheat.

If you care about your job and fellow employees, you won’t cheat. Nobody wants to deal with a coworker that is on the make searching for random hookups. Sleeping with coworkers is a recipe for disaster and highly unprofessional.

Everything is fun and games until HR gets involved and the lawsuits begin.

I was hit on many times on business trips - by both higher level executive men and women

WB here 15+ years and you’re just making stuff up.

DP here.

I agree with this, but I do think that the majority of men (so >50%) who travel a lot cheat. I am sure there are people who would cheat if they just had the opportunity. But it's just more logistically complicated to cheat when you aren't traveling. I assume, I have never looked into it, lol.

I have several friends who are long-time WB, and they all told me they have definitely been hit on by men (sometimes multiple times per trip! ) during travel for WB.

So it’s you whose making things up PP.

Academic here, and academic conferences are the worst for cheating spouses.

Yes because cheating rates are pretty high anyway, and there are a lot of people who want to cheat but logistics get in the way. Frequent travel removes a lot of those logistical barriers. Honorable people won't cheat no matter what but a lot of non-cheaters are not honorable.

“Being hit on by men” while traveling abroad happens; actually a lot worse things happen — being yelled at by men in the street, touched, etc. happen, especially in some countries. That’s not the topic of the thread; you came out saying some policy changed because cheating is rampant and staff are taking mistresses on travel and that is simply untrue.

Off to work, won’t be back to further argue with you.

I’m divorced and travel quite a bit for work. I’m on the road at least two weeks out of the month and its really easy to meet women who are basically doing the same thing. Hotel bars and fitness centers are usually where I’m most likely to meet someone. At a minimum you get to have a nice conversation with someone to pass the time, but often, in can turn into a fun night or few days. I’m often surprised at how approachable women are in the bars at nice hotels (W, etc) as well as the amount of interest I get from women outside my race.

Totally agree- I think cheating would be more rampant in society if more people had opportunities. Throw in a little alcohol and temptation with opportunity and…

I’m black and pretty tall/muscular. I assumed that most women (especially of other races) would feel threatened or intimidated by me.

That's not only completely true but far worse that anyone could imagine. All spousal abuse is rampant in the group. Men are paid insane salaries and abuse their wives who are usually women from their home countries without own earning capacity. Cheating is one of the abuses but there is lots more. Taking pensions and severances without taking spouse and running away abroad; filing for custody of kids while the wife is on a diplomatic visa etc.
