Seeking a relationship can be hectic. One can think that they found the right one to be shocked to find out that the “right one” is actually a cheater. While one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, Artificial Intelligence (AI) does.
Online casino MrQ conducted a study on 2,000 Brits using cutting-edge technology to formulate the picture of a typical cheater.

Embed from Getty ImagesMaskell emphasized that the results “are based on statistical analysis and won’t apply to all individuals. People’s behavior is defined by their decisions and actions, not what they look like.”
