Men tend to cheat more, but women aren't immune to cheating either, and a new study claims to know why.

Researchers have found that females cheat because they want "good genes" for their offspring, known as the "double mating theory".

Women tend to look for partners more attractive to their genetic material, but stick with a long-term mate who would be a better parent. However, some study participants reported that they left their current partner out of boredom.

The study was conducted by Australian and British researchers who surveyed 254 heterosexual people, 116 of whom were women, and asked them to rate their physical, personal and parental attraction to both partners.

The study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that women ranked their partner's physical attractiveness 1.93 points higher than their husbands, while parental attractiveness was 3.33 points lower.

Their findings supported what's called the double-mating theory, where women cheat to get "good genes" for their offspring, while relying on their primary partners to be good co-parents.

However, the researchers reported that they found no evidence that participants preferred their boyfriend over their long-term spouse.

"Infidelity is a tactic that serves a number of evolutionarily coherent strategies, including obtaining additional resources, switching to a new primary mate and, particularly in our study, obtaining genetic benefits for offspring. "However, while humans evolved to cheat, that does not mean we should cheat, and most people do not," say the study's authors.

The researchers reported that some women said they cheated because they were "bored," suggesting a drive for new partners and sexual or romantic experiences, and others said they wanted revenge in response to their partner's infidelity to maintain a sense of justice. and balance in relationships.

A significant number of women mentioned that they were unhappy with their relationship including experiencing feelings of neglect, dissatisfaction and a lack of emotional support.
