A new survey carried out by UndercoverLovers.com, a dating website for married people, found that almost 100 per cent of women who cheat on their partners never get caught, whereas the men are not as good at covering their tracks with 17 per cent admitting to getting busted, the Daily Mail reported.

Dr David Holmes, a psychologist at Manchester Metropolitan University, says: "Women make better liars because they're psychologically more sophisticated. They make plans and have strategies, whereas men are more impulsive. The biggest difference, however, is that women are much better at keeping their affairs a secret."

据英国《每日邮报》报道，已婚人士交友网站“地下情人网”最近一次调查发现，几乎所有瞒着伴侣搞外遇的女性从没被抓到过，但男人似乎就不那么会掩饰了，他们中有17%的人坦诚自己出轨被另一半抓到。

曼彻斯特城市大学的心理学家大卫·霍姆斯表示：“女性之所以更擅长撒谎是因为她们的心理更复杂。她们会制定计划、部署战略，而男人更容易冲动行事。不过二者最大的区别在于，女性更善于为偷情保密。”
