Bald-faced liars are more likely to be adulterers as well.
Are you a bald man with a big nose in your 40s? You’re more likely to cheat on your partner, according to an AI-generated profile of what a typical philanderer looks like.
“We’ve shed light on the physical traits associated with those prone to cheating,” declared Rosie Maskel, a senior marketing executive at the online casino MrQ, who conducted the scandalous study, Kennedy News reported.
The digital betting bazaar reportedly surveyed 2,000 Brits — many of whom had been betrayed in the boudoir — to deduce what attributes cheaters had in common.
They then fed the results to an AI-powered image generator to create a “photo-fit” depiction of the average cheater.
The resultant AI-rtist’s depiction showed a male in their 40s with blue-gray eyes, sparse or no hair, and frown lines. Throw in small lips and larger schnoz and you get the poster child for someone who sleeps around on their spouse, per the study.
Their female counterpart, per the illustration, was in her early fifties and sported dark hair with a small nose and a medium-sized pout.
Both male and female cheaters were depicted as having a slim build and boasting “staring eyes.”
“Our research showed that just under half (41%) [of people] are familiar with this painful betrayal, so it may be that a lot identify with the characteristics in these images,” Maskel said.
However, perhaps the male cheater’s profile was more accurate given the larger sample size.
The study found that men are significantly more likely to fool around than women, with 35% of men admitting to cheating at least once before compared to just 24% of women.
Women are more likely to stay with their adulterous soulmates after catching them straying. More than a fifth (22%) stayed with their disloyal partner for at least another two years while just one in ten (13%) of scorned fellas did the same.
Meanwhile, an appalling 2% of people married their paramour after finding out they were sleeping around.
As the depiction of the typical unfaithful male perhaps proves, adultery drama doesn’t decline in middle age.
Those aged 45-54 are among the most likely to have cheated at least once. More than one in three (35%) admitted to doing their partners dirty while 54% of 45-54 year olds divulged that they’d been either the victim or perpetrator of infidelity.
Coincidentally, the study found that cheating generally peaks around fall, so lovebirds should remain vigilant right now — especially if their other half possesses the aforementioned physical characteristics.
Of course, the likelihood of scoring extra-marital booty is more than skin-deep, per the marketing exec.
“Obviously, it’s important to note these are based on statistical analysis and won’t apply to all individuals,” declared Maskel. “People’s behavior is defined by their decisions and actions, not what they look like.”
Professional “honey trapper” Madeline Smith recently revealed some telltale behaviors that could indicate that someone’s man is scoring sex on the side, including hiding phones, neglecting to include pics of their other half on social media, and using Snapchat.
