67. Women have affairs too

Wed Nov 14, 2012, 05:00 PM

Nov 2012

Let's not make this just a male thing...Women do this too.

I just recently saw on Craigslist an ad by a woman looking for a "friend with benefits" in order to cheat on her husband.

In fact this UK study showed that not only do women cheat nearly as much as men, but women are far better at lying about it. The study even shows an alarming percentage of men are actually unknowingly raising a child that is not biologically theirs!
