Why do women cheat?
New study reveals complex motivations behind female infidelity

A recent study published in Evolution and Human Behavior offers new insights into the complex motivations behind female infidelity. The findings reveal that women who cheat are typically more physically attracted to their affair partners but view their primary partners as better co-parents. This suggests that women may cheat to obtain “good genes” for their offspring while relying on their primary partners for parenting support. Additionally, the study highlights several other motivations for infidelity, including relationship dissatisfaction, the desire for variety, and revenge.
