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."

據英國《每日郵報》報道，已婚人士交友網站“地下情人網”最近一次調查發現，幾乎所有瞞著伴侶搞外遇的女性從沒被抓到過，但男人似乎就不那么會掩飾了，他們中有17%的人坦誠自己出軌被另一半抓到。

曼徹斯特城市大學的心理學家大衛·霍姆斯表示：“女性之所以更擅長撒謊是因為她們的心理更復雜。她們會制定計劃、部署戰略，而男人更容易沖動行事。不過二者最大的區別在于，女性更善于為偷情保密。”
