Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Never underestimate the immorality of the quiet woman. Or the noisy man, for that matter. Scientists have discovered the types most likely to have affairs.
Women who are reserved, and preoccupied with themselves, and men who are outgoing with an eye for detail are more likely to be unfaithful, according to research carried out among office workers.
Psychologists at Glasgow Caledonian University quizzed office workers, whose average age was 30. The number of affairs went from zero to more than six, with 40.4 per cent saying they had had an affair.
The men were confident, outgoing, good-natured, less likely to find fault with themselves and more hostile than faithful men. Women who showed these characteristics were less likely to have affairs. One theory is that more dominant men are attractive to women who do not have those characteristics. But it could just be a case of the men being all talk.
