In younger generations (millennials and Gen Z), the rates of infidelity among men and women are nearly equal. The gender gap in cheating is most pronounced among older generations, where men were historically more likely to have extramarital affairs.
Do you agree with the research results here? Does it match your experience?
It just means that either women are being more honest now in polls, or prostitution is on the decline after all, who were men of previous generations having extramarital affairs with?
Their single secretaries?
The single woman is still having an affair if the person they are sleeping with is married. also, I think it’s more likely that men were sleeping with prostitutes or other married women even in our parents generation. very few single women are gonna sleep with a married man. There’s nothing in it for them.
I just read OPs post and not the link, but OP says rates of infidelity. An unmarried partner would be adding to the rate on their side.

Where is the actual data? Your link is to an op-ed that states some stats that are not specific to age groups and doesn’t support your title.
Studies do show that women are actually less naturally monogamous than men but the linked article does not (instead, it just perpetuates the myth about men needing to spread their seed and bla bla bla).
If there is any data, the only thing it would confirm is that younger women are more likely than older women to confess to cheating, which makes sense because older married women of earlier generations often didn't have income or access to money, so they had more to lose by confessing and thus were more discreet.

Here’s a good discussion:

In monkeys and early human societies, women being promiscuous serves as a hedging strategy against male infertility. There is some other stuff about monkeys that seems like a stretch to apply to modern humans.

Yes, it takes two to have an affair. Women cheat too.

None of these stats are reliable--people don't tell the truth.

I’m telling my sons to stay single. I know of 5 30-something divorced due to wife’s cheating.
Mine are still late HS/early college- maybe it will change less sex overall for this demographic- they seem to be less hos0
