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.
More about the study

The results
Embed from Getty ImagesAccording to the answers to the survey conducted, AI revealed that a “typical” cheating man is someone in his forties, with blue-grey eyes, small lips, short facial hair, and little to no head hair. In addition, the “typical cheater” has a larger nose and visible frown lines.
Women didn’t slip away from this one

MrQ Senior Marketing Executive Rosie Maskell talks about the results’ stats
Embed from Getty ImagesMaskell revealed that “research showed that just under half (41 percent) are familiar with this painful betrayal,” and they identify with the faces created for betrayal. Additionally, “research has found that more than half (52 percent) of Brits have experience of either cheating or being cheated on,” she said.
Who left and who didn’t
Embed from Getty ImagesMaskell also revealed that 39% who have been cheated on called it quits “straight away,” which shows that people value loyalty in their partner. Moreover, 22% claimed to have stuck around for at least two years after finding out that their partner was unfaithful.
Alarmingly 2% married their partner after finding out that they cheated.
Who is more likely to cheat
Embed from Getty ImagesTurns out that over one-third of men admitted to cheating on their partner at least once, compared to 24% of women. This explains why divorce statistics are the way they are, as women are 33% more likely than men to file for divorce due to adultery.
The more likely age for cheating
Embed from Getty ImagesStudies found that 45 to 54-year-olds are the most likely to cheat, with over one in three of them having done so. As for the times that people cheat, Autumn turned out to be the peak time for infidelity, going up 22% as the weather gets colder.

Maskell’s disclaimer
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.”
Everyone has their own individual experience, and these were the conclusions of the 2,000 participants.
