Men get caught cheating more often than
00:00:02
women.
00:00:03
>> Does that mean they cheat more?
00:00:04
>> No, it means they get caught cheating
00:00:06
more. You know, I know people love
00:00:07
statistics and I know that that you
00:00:09
know, guests have a tendency to come on
00:00:11
and say, "Well, 72% of people who are I
00:00:14
there are certain things that I I I just
00:00:16
don't think you can accurately track
00:00:19
because unless you have real reliable
00:00:21
data and I don't really consider
00:00:23
self-reporting surveys that good of a
00:00:26
data because they tell you a lot about
00:00:27
what people would like to think they
00:00:29
believe or that people would like to be
00:00:31
perceived as believing or the kinds of
00:00:33
people that fill out surveys, what they
00:00:36
might have to say I everything I'm
00:00:38
saying is based on what I've observed in
00:00:40
25 years of facilitating the demise of
00:00:42
marriages. This is direct observation.
00:00:45
I've thrown a little of my own sort of
00:00:47
experience onto that. I mean, facts all
00:00:49
come with points of view, but I'm very
00:00:52
careful to not, you know, be like
00:00:54
speculating. I'm I'm really looking at
00:00:56
what's in front of me. Men and women
00:00:58
both cheat. Men cheat in just more
00:01:02
scattershot stupid ways than women do.
00:01:05
When women cheat, in my experience
00:01:07
professionally, it's like a more like a
00:01:09
professional hit like and it's usually
00:01:11
an indication of like the it's the
00:01:13
absolute end of this relationship. The
00:01:15
relationship is over and this is either
00:01:17
a soft place to land or it's sort of a
00:01:19
final opportunity for this person to
00:01:21
solidify, this woman to solidify in her
00:01:23
head that yeah, this thing is over.
00:01:25
Whereas men, I've really had hundreds at
00:01:29
this point of men sit across from me
00:01:31
who've been caught in an affair or sense
00:01:34
that they're about to get caught in an
00:01:36
affair and they say to me like, "Yeah,
00:01:39
this had nothing to do with my wife.
00:01:41
Like, I love my wife. It had nothing to
00:01:42
do with that. It just I don't know. I
00:01:44
just I don't know why I did what I did.
00:01:46
I just did it.
