I doubt the percentage of serial cheaters is too too high.. maybe 15% cheat whenever they get the chance and are always looking for the next one.

Women would be opposite though.. I would guess 30-50% of women have cheated at some point.. but I would expect older women to cheat more than younger women.

People get used to the relationship, they have children.. settle into the family life.. only getting laid by their spouse a few times a year cause the "spark" is gone.. and when someone else showers them with affection, people do the wrong thing. Some couples are married for a LONG LONG time..


I'm all for open marraiges or relationships or whatever.. as long as both people are completely okay with it and it doesnt get out of control.
I think your percentages are definitley of the high side.
I do agree with your thinking as far as the guys getting married very young eventually cheating.
But I disagree with your serial cheating thinking. My feeling is once they do it and get away with it, then eventually start thinking that they could do it whenever they want and always get away with it.
