attractive women more likely to cheat..

IT'S not easy being beautiful.
And if you are easy on the eyes, it's apparently even harder to remain faithful.
A new study has revealed that beautiful women may be more likely to have affairs because of a sex hormone linked to attractiveness and flirtatiousness.
Oestrogen, the so-called female hormone, affects fertility and has been shown to make women dress more provocatively and show more thrill-seeking behaviour.
Dr Kristina Durante of The University of Texas at Austin and colleagues found that young women felt more attractive when they had high levels of an oestrogen known as estradiol, and they acted on those feelings.
'Women with higher estradiol reported a greater likelihood of flirting, kissing and having a serious affair with someone other than their primary partner and were marginally more likely to date another man,' DrDurante's team wrote in the Royal Society Journal Biology Letters.
'Results provide support for the relationship between physical beauty and fertility and suggest that women high in reproductive health engage in opportunistic serial monogamy - being open to affairs and moving on to a new relationship if a higher-quality mate becomes available.'
The high-oestrogen women also reported more sexual behaviour - especially outside of a relationship, although it was not linked to one-night stands.
'Our results are consistent with the possibility that highly fertile women are not easily satisfied by their long-term partners and are especially motivated to become acquainted with other, presumably more desirable, men,' the study concluded.

problem is, attractiveness isnt self defined.

a lot of people tend to tho -
What to do? All guy like pretty lady whether they are attached or not.
So they got more choice to choose from.
So try out a few at the same time.

Quite true but not necessarily all true. ;p
-
So is this an excuse for adultry?
-
Tsk.
How about, I change the topic to "Attractive women more likely to cheat than their less-attractive counterparts".
Kinda self-explanatory.
-
what about men ? ...
-
Men... dun cheat. ;p
-
no wonder ...... -
Whether women are cheating or not does not base on attractiveness alone.

The article appears to have been poorly constructed.
First, they looked at estradiol making women feel more attractive. There's a fatal conceptual leap here in concluding that women with high estradiol are actually more attractive, rather than just feeling it. In other words, she may feel like Carmen Electra but look like Camryn Manheim.
The research itself also seems to have a fatal flaw. There's no reported attempt to statictically control for the variance in opportunities to flirt, and the conclusions seem to be based upon an absolute measure number of instances of flirting without consideration of whether the occasion existed to do so.
All up, I don't buy it.

flirt and cheat are different
attractive women don't mind flirting and getting more attention from guys who approach us
however that does not necessarily mean we will cheat
-
Fair comment. Nonetheless, it doesn't change the fact that the key messages of both the article and the research are fatally flawed. There's no message in either that you can take to the bank.
-
Another way to look at this is attractive women attracts more unnecessary attention, thus give raise to more opportunities to cheat.
You can't cheat if you don't have the chance to.
-
Well, u know how it is... she attractive , so even though she is attached there will still be guys trying to woo her ma. So its up to her individual will power and whether she can resist the temptations and stay true n loyal. And not to mention got those never say die guys out there ma.. heh..

Precisely. Like I said, the study does not mention any attempt to control variance in this factor. As far as research goes it's bullshit.

It's called Natural Selection. Nobody is born to be equal. And the world is not meant to be fair. -
