Beautiful Women Are Programmed to Be Unfaithful

New study reveals that beautiful women can really blame cheating on their hormones

While the latest study made on the faithfulness of beautiful women as opposed to that of average looking ones is no groundbreaking discovery, it does help to finally settle the matter. Gorgeous women are not made to be loyal, and it’s not something that they can do to help it, as the research has showed.

It’s all in the hormones, scientists say, and not in the way a woman was raised or the values she upholds. More specifically, it’s in the level of oestrogen that a woman’s fidelity is to be found, as the study has showed that those with high levels of it are more likely to be unsatisfied with their current partner, therefore more prone to cheat on them when the opportunity arises. Coincidentally, these women are also very good looking, scientists pointed out.

Being beautiful means, in turn, more potential mates, which makes women “play on their desirability to snare the best mates,” say the researchers as quoted by the Daily Mail. Their standards for what they want from a partner are also highly influenced by them being good looking, which translates into not being able to come across a person to meet those standards, which makes them move from partner to partner.

“Physically attractive women may not only have more alternatives but also high standards that are difficult to satisfy. Accordingly, they have fewer reasons to be committed to any particular partner if higher quality potential mates are available.” Dr. Kristina Durante pointed out for the aforementioned publication. Their cheating is, thus, not reason for opprobrium for being a spur of the moment thing, but simply them acting as their very nature dictates.

The same study also revealed that, while attractive women are admittedly the “most unsatisfied with their lot,” they will also choose a long-term relationship instead of brief flings – still, nothing will stop them from moving on to another partner when something better comes up. “Without necessarily being consciously aware of their motives, highly attractive women are probably able to capitalize on their desirability and continually acquire valuable resources and a higher quality long-term mate by trading-up when the opportunity arises.” the researchers explained.

It is a study that is flawed in light of numerous variables. it may only be used to draw one type of conclusion on those participants but not THE conclusion that they are searching for. having lived in europe (and please exclude europeans coming to live in america drinking from the american "cool-aid" )the cultures values and education there, in most places & able to retain such (not corrupted by the US cool aid)seem to contradict the conclusions of this so-called study. need i remind our readers that global studies inescapably show that the US is almost 30th in math and physics and number 15 in literacy! my point, this culture finds ways to fill in the void because of immense insecurities stemming from their poor childhoods,paltry education and the conspicuous media.
As far as the US media it might just be a distraction mechanism happily financed by the financial sector in order to dumb down the american culture. why? because a dumb and distracted culture hell bent on britney and paris wont know until its too late that they have been taxed pick-pocketed. a culture with a fragile low self worth exploited by the media will not concentrate on math but on how much $ they can get or which hot person they can land! clever banks + stupid population = Rome!! remember the movie Gladiator (at least something we can learn from) and the proletariat that needed to be entertained by the ceasers? of course Rome fell.bottom line and to quote Suze Orman:"I need more than because I feel less than".conclusion: needing to cheat because you can only spells symptoms of an insecure person. look what happened to the US economy because people with their fragile egos were instigated into "more"- bigger homes bigger cars..Roman collapse! Remember "i want more than because I feel less than".

Women especially today are more likely to stray because of many factors: they earn their own money,have had bad experiences from dad cheating on mom as well as their own early run-ins w/cheaters etc. all of the above make them more likely to choose emotionally unavailable partners and situations(e.g threesomes) as a defense mechanism to prevent them from getting too close to someone and risking repeated emotional injury. Problem here is that they dont really develop healthy problem solving skills. instead, they "escape" w/emotionally distant player types & in the end always complain (to disguise the truth)that there arent enough good men! of course women especially those coming from third world countries & poor backgrounds tend to use their good looks as currency w/which to barter for financial survival. three last items: First,astrologically, one should take note that many of those born under the 5 sun signs of ARIES,SAGGITARIUS,GEMINI,AQURIUS PISCES AND THEIR CUSPS (E.G ARIES-TAURUS )may have: strong desires to stray,have multiple life partners and general personality pathos with respect to manipulation and insincerity. Marylin Monroe was a Gemini,Liz Taylor a Pisces,both Britney and Anna Nicole (may she RIP)are saggitarians and both Elliot Spitzer and John Edwards are Geminis.You can draw your own correlations. second,we are witnessing a Darwinian transition.women have evolved and adapted for good or bad to compete w/men in every aspect whether it be in becoming physicians, lawyers, shuttle flight commanders, bankers, CEOs, narcissists, sociopaths,
pumped up emotionally unavailable gym girls(EUGGs) to just good ol downright CHEATS! Sorry guys we (MEN) created these Frankensteins and i must apologize for all of us who now suffer.

Hi Gaz. She’s a former Miss World, Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. She’s often referred to as the most beautiful woman in the world – you can see why :)

It's kinda' true. I'm not a very attractive young women but I noticed some of those very beautiful women, most of them are very attractive that they can make a man fall in love with them in an hour or in a day. But then, we can't blame them for being beautiful it's just that it's already their nature not be attracted to handsome men. Me, i'm not very attractive but i'm contented of who I am and of what God has gave me to be considered as a natural beauty. Everyone is beautiful in different ways. :)

i dont think that betterlooking women are more likely to cheat. people cheat,its just human nature. not everyone cheats on every partner but most have done it. i have personally slept with alot of women who were in a relationship. they made a concious choice to act upon those basic urges,and can in noway blame their actions souly on hormones. also if you take the time to satisfy your womens needs she is far less likey to come find someone like me who will:) I.E. give her as many orgasms as she can handle,and she will be as faithful as humanly possible:) PS show her respect...and don't smother her!! This is a message to those men who can't concur their insecurities about women! Also that women is amazing looking...my new favorite forsure

That's true. Plus, they cause men heart attacks, stroke, and to commit suicide, especially if she's cheating on them. Also, men get very possessive of her and try to keep her in line so she wouldn't cheat on him. You hear of women being beaten and murdered for having affairs with other men. After all, women are prone to affairs than men because it's easy for women to be laid than men. It's nothing new.
