Nairobi women are 'smart cheaters' in relationships

Despite decades of gender stereotypes insisting that men will always cheat and most will sleep with anything in a skirt, recent research shows that in actual sense, women cheat as much as men, only that they are smart and it is nearly impossible to find out if a woman is cheating. A recent survey found 95 per cent of women and 83 per cent of men have cheated on partners and not been found out. The survey also shows that women are having more affairs than ever before and women are better liars because they are more psychologically sophisticated.

The research carried out by a dating website for married people found that 95 per cent of women claim to have successfully conducted illicit encounters without their spouses finding out. UndercoverLovers.com asked 3,000 women if their partners knew about their cheating and found the overall percentage of straying spouses that never get found out is 89 per cent. According to Karen Kimani, a psychologist, unlike men, women behave differently when they cheat. “Women are more psychologically enhanced and so this makes them better liars. Before a woman cheats, she will have planned it from the beginning to the end,” the psychologist says. “Men may have not planned to cheat but when the situation arises, they impulsively go for it, and will start covering their tracks after the deed is done.” Men are also less secretive and will always tell their best friends of their affairs. Women, on the other hand, might decide to take on a secret lover and nobody else in the world would know
