Men who cheat on their partners are more likely to be found out than women

Further to a story on WVoN looking at the reasons men cheat on their partners (they're needy and insecure), the Daily Mail says that men who cheat are twice as likely as women to get caught because they're so hopeless at covering their tracks. 

The poll, from IllicitEncounters.com, found that half of men but only 21 per cent of women were found out via text, email or phone call. Sara Hartley, from IllicitEncounters, said careless men often leave their mobile phones lying around giving their partners a chance to check-up on them.

She said: ‘We find men can be surprisingly reckless when it comes to disguising their affairs.

‘Women are far more careful to log out of private email accounts and Facebook and keep separate email addresses and SIM cards specifically for their lover’s use.

‘Technology can be the downfall of cheating spouses – one suspicious text message or email and everything can go to pot.

‘Women are also more likely to tell their friends and create a network of ‘affair friends’ who can cover for them if things get sticky.’
