Is He A Cheater? Apparently, Your Phone Knows

Cheater

Huffington Post Canada   Posted: 03/ 9/2012 2:01 pm

You might be able to tell a man's personality by the company he keeps, his income by the car he drives, and his interests by his hobbies. But can you figure out how faithful he'll be? Well, with a new app, those factors might just make that a possibility.

The Cheater Meter is an iPhone app that helps users gauge a man's unfaithfulness using 10 questions that ask about things like his build and income. The questions are formulated from years of couple and relationship studies and the app's accuracy has users talking, according to Dr. Ish Major, the app's developer and an expert on infidelity.

"Both men and women agree; it is highly accurate. The empowerment comes from now being armed with critical information and explanations (at the end of the app) as to why the questions are so meaningful," said Dr. Major in an interview with Yahoo

While past studies have shown that up to 70 per cent of men and 60 per cent of women admit to being unfaithful, few outline a pattern in cheating, as Cheater Meter is purported to do.

"If you notice, women never cheat with a man who is 'less than' the man she already has. He is usually a man of similar or more means, similar or more attractiveness, similar or more agreeable temperament," said Dr. Major, adding that when men cheat it's usually for sex, and "it's almost never with a woman who's as attractive as the one he currently has."

So what does this all mean for all the faithful men out there? Besides reinforcing some stable sexual chemistry, their own concerns aren't being pushed aside. Dr. Major is reportedly working on an app that lets men find out if their next date might be a prospective cheater too.

If 70% of men admit to being unfaithful, and 60% of women admit to being unfaithful - does that mean that men are less likely to lie about this question than women are?

I hope there is only one question in this little survey. "Do you think your man would be unfaithful to you?" If the answer is yes, get out.

Well, based on what little info there is in this article, this sounds like a phenomenally bad idea ... Way to amplify an insecure partner's insecurities, create insecurities in a previously stable relationship, start fights, trigger break-ups ... based on what? Statistics? Truly a terrible, terrible idea.

"Dr. Major is reportedly working on an app that lets men find out if their next date might be a prospective cheater too."

The likely structure will be built around this point made in the article: "If you notice, women never cheat with a man who is 'less than' the man she already has. He is usually a man of similar or more means, similar or more attractiveness, similar or more agreeable temperament..."

Which is to say- do you make enough, look better, and are less of a jerk than the available pool of men around your date- in that order? Computing...

Since the doctor thinks that men "almost never" cheat with a woman who is more attractive than their spouse, women should insist that their husbands only hire very young and sexy secretaries and female coworkers. It will ensure fidelity. Right.

Now - do you really have any faith in this App?

That is not what was said...read it again until you understand exactly what was said.

The article says: "When men cheat it's usually for sex, and it's almost never with a woman who's as attractive as the one he currently has." So it would follow that to keep hubby from cheating you should surround him with women more attractive than his wife. Q.E.D.
