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."

曼徹斯特城市大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家大衛(wèi)·霍姆斯表示：“女性之所以更擅長撒謊是因?yàn)樗齻兊男睦砀鼜?fù)雜。她們會制定計(jì)劃、部署戰(zhàn)略，而男人更容易沖動行事。不過二者最大的區(qū)別在于，女性更善于為偷情保密。”
