Bare-faced cheat: Women 'better at hiding infidelity'???

[DGUtley]

Bare-faced cheat: Women 'better at hiding infidelity'? You can't hide your lying eyes: scientists have revealed that women can judge whether a man is likely to be unfaithful just by looking at his face but men are less able to spot a cheating woman.

Yeah, ok. Legit or Pseudoscience?

The Science Of Infidelity: Why Women Are More Likely To Cheat On Men
New research shows women may be more likely to be the culprits of infidelity than men.
It’s not that women are more likely to cheat than men per se, but biologically and genetically, we possess different features that vary our behaviors.
This research is colossal because ideologically, we tend to assume men are the more likely culprits due evolutionary implications.
From a “survival of the fittest perspective,” it makes slightly more sense that they would spread their seed to as many women as possible.



Despite this, women may be more prone to cheat instead due to their hormones and genes. Richard Friedman lets us in on this secret in his op-ed, “Infidelity Lurks in Your Genes (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/24/opinion/sunday/infidelity-lurks-in-your-genes.html?_r=0).”
The key word is vasopressin. Women who carry a type of genetic mutation in the receptor for this hormone are more likely to engage in infidelity, so maybe it’s not their fault?
The suggestion is carried by a recent study (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0049294#abstract0) by a psychologist, Brendan P. Zietsch (https://www.psy.uq.edu.au/directory/index.html?id=1220#_), at the University of Queensland, Australia.
Dr. Zietsch examined the link between promiscuity and the receptor genes of important hormones, like vasopressin and oxytocin.

Ever heard of oxytocin? If not, look it up, or better yet, read Louann Brizendine’s "The Female Brain (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23968.The_Female_Brain)." It will clue you in on exactly how our bodies and brains work for us ladies.



It’s a hormone that also acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and essentially increases our drive to romantically pair up.
It’s released on many occasions, but most evidently during sex. Vasopressin is another hormone, similar in nature, which has a great force on social behaviors associated with bonding, like trust, empathy and, of course, hooking up.
In his study, Dr. Zietsch examined the link between the wandering eye and variations in the oxytocin and vasopressin receptor genes in thousands of people who had been in a relationship for at least a year.
Why? Because mutations of the vasopressin receptor could also mutate one’s own sexual behavior.
Through the study, he found 6.4 percent of women, compared to 9.8 percent of men that year, had two or more sexual partners.



The caveat is Zietsch’s study discovered there was an association between five different variants of the vasopressin receptor gene, which was only found in women who participated in infidelity.


Another study (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2008/09/02/0803081105) from Hasse Walum at the Karolinska Institutet (Institute) in Stockholm found that in women, there is strong association between one variation of an oxytocin receptor gene and marital antagonism, or lack of fondness for one’s partner.



So, what does this mean for women? It may mean women have a higher likelihood to cheat if they possess these mutated vasopressin genes, but we know this cannot be the sole cause.
For one, we know there are tons of reasons that contribute to infidelity, many of which haven’t even been scientifically measured.
The study does emphasize the power hormones have on our behaviors, which often are misunderstood and underestimated.



At the end of the day, this study will never negate the different reasons men and women engage in infidelity, whether it be socially, emotionally or physically.....snip~

Looks like they were taking it seriously.

To confuse the issue, women are not known for being good poker players, and they are rarely magicians.

Perhaps the only deceit they are very good at is sex.

I don't know about at a glance although the better looking either sex is the more opportunity they may have. But certainly in practice women hide cheating better because they are far more observant than men. in general. Since the little things are usually the tell....

This reminds me of something I read years ago about how studies have shown that a surprising number of people are not, as confirmed by DNA testing, the child of their legal father...in other words, of the man they always believed to be their biological father, but who, in fact, was not. This, for me, is another reason to be skeptical about claims of being descended from such-and-such a famous person, particularly if many generations are involved. Perhaps you are on paper, but...

They can shoot pool better than men.

Men are generally more oblivious to social and romantic cues anyway, so it wouldn't surprise me if this were true.

I don't know about that but they damn sure LOOK better at THE pool than men!
