Are You Dating a Potential Cheater?
Like most single women who are dating, I’m sure you’ll want to avoid getting involved with a man who’s likely to cheat. After all, he could one day break your heart. But according to statistics, an estimated 50 to 70 percent of men cheat on their mates. How can you tell if the man you’re dating is one of these potential cheaters? Wouldn’t it be great to have this information about him before you get too deeply involved?
Find out If He’s Prone to Infidelity
Finding out whether or not the man you’re dating is prone to infidelity is much easier than you think. Studies reveal that some men are more likely to cheat than others because of their background, their past history, or certain character traits. Using this information, I’ve designed a 7 question quiz that can help you determine if the man you’re dating is a potential cheater.
Single Women Screen Dates with this Quiz
The Potential Cheaters Quiz was originally posted on my website http://www.InfidelityAdvice.com to help married women find out if their husbands are potential cheaters. However numerous single women report that they’re using the quiz to screen the men they meet at dating sites, and through dating services and personal ads.
Decide Who Not to Date
The Potential Cheaters quiz can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to continue dating a man, or how deeply to get involved. By identifying and avoiding the potential cheaters in the dating pool, you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary headaches and heartaches.
Rate Your Date with the Potential Cheaters Quiz
So before you fall head-over-heels in love or get too attached to that new man in your life, rate your date’s cheating potential with the 7 questions below:
Potential Cheaters Quiz
1.Does he thrive on adventure?
2.Did he have a great deal of sexual experience prior to your relationship?
3.Does he have lots of female friends?
4.Does he have male friends who are cheating on their wives or girlfriends?
5.Does he have a parent who cheated?
6.Did he cheat in any of his past relationships?
7.Does he feel that infidelity is really no big deal?
What the Answers Mean:
1.Some men enjoy all the suspense, deception and intrigue that go along with infidelity. They’ll cheat just for the “thrill of the chase.”
2.Studies reveal that men who were extremely sexually active before settling down in a committed relationship are more apt to engage in sex outside that relationship. Don’t expect a leopard to change his spots.
3.Close friendships with women are a common starting point for infidelity. Friends can quickly turn into lovers. The closer the friendship, the greater the odds that it will develop into an affair.
4.Never underestimate the power of peer pressure. If his friends are cheating, he’ll soon be cheating too.
5.Infidelity tends to run in families. Children of unfaithful parents are often programmed to follow in their footsteps, considering infidelity to be the norm.
6.“Once a cheater, always a cheater.” There are exceptions, but statistically speaking, if he cheated once, he’s more apt to do it again. His history will probably repeat itself.
7.If he doesn’t believe that infidelity is wrong, his behavior will reflect his beliefs.
How to Evaluate Your Results
Generally speaking, the more ‘yes’ answers, the greater the likelihood that this man will cheat. But some answers carry more weight than
