How Can You Spot a Cheater?
Is there such a thing as a “type” of man who cheats? Apparently there is, according to a (not-exactly-scientific) study released by the infamous online hook-up-for-affairs site, which lets people arrange extramarital affairs for a fee. The type? According to the study, “he’s likely in his 40s, been married for over 10 years and has two children over 10 years old.” Of industries polled, IT workers and engineers were ranked highest to cheat. What about the average cheating woman? They’ve got a response for that too: “In her 30s, married for five years or less and [has] a daughter under three years old. She is also likely to be a teacher, a stay-at-home mom or work in the medical industry.”
The Huffington Post reports:
What does a cheating husband look like?
According to a new survey by AshleyMadison.com — a dating site for married people looking to have affairs — he’s likely in his 40s, been married for over 10 years and has two children over 10 years old.
Of the 11,453 fathers surveyed (all of whom have accounts on the website), the largest percentage of would-be cheaters work in the IT/Engineering field, a career that’s moved up on the list since placing fifth in 2010’s survey.
Here’s the full round-up of occupations that harbor the most cheating husbands:
IT/Engineer (10.6%)
Financial Industry (8.2%)
Education (6.5%)
Doctors (4.6%)
Lawyers (3.8%)
What about cheating wives? In May, the site polled 2,865 of their married female members and found that the typical cheating married woman was in her 30s, married for five years or less and had a daughter under three years old. She is also likely to be a teacher, a stay-at-home mom or work in the medical industry, according to a representative from Ashleymadison.com

I work in the medical field and I’m surprised Doctors and Nurses are not on the top of the list. I agree with this list
This ‘study’ is somewhat bias… based on demographics, SES, etc., certain types of people are drawn to certain areas to seek out what they are looking for, and in this case, an on-line site dedicated to married people looking to date. What I refer to as ‘white collar’ workers, which is what is only featured here, have much more access to computers on a daily basis to monitor messages, send flirts, or whatever than someone who works outside of an office and in the field, or doing some type of blue-collar work and/or manual labor. These categories in no way provide an accurate representation across the board… they simply reflect the dynamics of one particular website, though the statistics provided are thought provoking.
