    It's mainly 'look at us and our fab lives and our great friendship' with a bit of 'married men cheat' thrown in at the end.

    Women are statistically more likely to cheat. Also more women say they would happily cheat if they had a guarantee their partner would never know.
    The term "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is true - but only for men. The opposite is true for women.
    This all according to a documentary I saw on Discovery ages ago at least.

    I know so many talented writers who can't get a break and THAT gets published?

    Not only is her writing awful, but she comes to the conclusion that men forget their marriage vows when they go away for the weekend based on ONE encounter?

    Poor.

    Dreadful article full of cliches. Based on a few lads having the audacity to talk to her and her friend, all married men are up for NSA :rolleyes:

    everyone should throw a few comments in, just to let her see that its not 1 or 2 crackpots. Written like a typical "socialite" with more contacts than brains

    Quick fix for marital infidelity - don't get married in the first place. And, done!

    And I, equally of course was looking forward to sitting down and having my dinner served up to me rather than be the server.

    Her and Alison O' Riordan could write a great book together :pac:

    Women cheat just as much as men. Only difference is that are better liars.

    That kind of writing is best kept to pink coloured softback covers with "sparkley" writing and blurbs.

    "Brilliant article! Sums up 99% of men!"

    Posted the above comment posing as a woman named Sandra. Currently awaiting moderation...

    EDIT: I didn't even realise the author of the article was called Sandra. I'm so good at this

    If she thinks a quick shag is an affair she needs to do some more research.

    Nope. The Cork Indepenent is a free newspaper. But with garbage like this i woudlnt be surprised if the Sindo snapped it up.

    I was expecting "vino" to be there somewhere. You have to be grateful for small mercies.

    Fiona and I actually agreed that the guys who were married were more inclined to go for someone also married as it would be less complicated and very much ‘no strings’ if the person was willing.

    Journalistic gold, the new york times will snap her up.
