[00:00:00]If you look at social media, Instagram, Tik Tok, whatever, they'll say, "These are the signs of a cheater. This is how you know someone's going to cheat. If they do this, if they have female friends, it means that they're going to cheat." What is the data actually say about risk factors for cheating in infidelity? So, here's a wild one. One of the strongest risk factors for cheating is highly rigid, defined gender roles. As the gender roles in the relationship get more polarized, the risk of infidelity for both men and women, this is heteronormative relationships, actually increases. So when you have an alpha male dating a trad wife, hyper masculine, hyper feminine, this is a risk factor on both parties for infidelity. The actual data is insane. But people don't talk about that because it doesn't fit their narrative. And then we're all being fed terrible information going out into the world and no wonder we're running into trouble.
