People Who Go To University Are More Likely To Have Affairs

You’re more likely to have an affair if you’ve been to university, a new study claims.

Extramarital dating site VictoriaMilan looked at the education levels of their users to see if it increased the chances of them cheating.

And they found that those most likely to engage in extra-marital activities were people who had graduated from university.

35.7% of degree-holding women and 25.4% of men admitting to straying.

The site looked nearly 80,000 Australians and found that if you’ve got a BA, you’re 22.5% more likely to cheat if you’re a woman and 17.6% more likely if you’re a guy.

And bearing in mind that 44% of the Australian population have a BA qualification or higher, that’s quite a lot of potential for playing away.

The next most likely to cheat are men who have a technical qualification or apprenticeship.

However, the trend stops when you get to the higher levels of education.

‘Aussies with university credentials are the ones most likely to have an affair and those with limited education are the most faithful,’ said VictoriaMilan CEO, Sigurd Vedal.

‘What this tells us is that highly educated people are likely to have more time on their hands, while the working class are too busy making ends meet to have time for a sexy fling.’

It’s probably not worth dwelling on how well these statistics translate over here…

The least likely men to commit adultery were those with a doctorate (1.3%) – and the most faithful women are also those with a doctorate.
