Uh And I have to back up just a second on that . Uh We know that affairs are very costly for women . So if discovered , they result in um infidels result in violence , sometimes they result in killing , you know , getting to the killing .
So they don't experience the costs . And of course , there are costs to men as well by being discovered . They're just not as uh cataclysmic as they are as they are for women .
But , um , uh , but also women suffer more than men . If an infidelity is discovered , they suffer reputational damage , they suffer , suffer , uh , sometimes social ostracism . Uh , it's , uh , cataclysmic for their relationship .
Uh , but that's a minority . If you , if you ask the question , why do most women have a , have an affair ? I think that's the mate switching notion .
Uh , it's , uh , cataclysmic for their relationship . So , you know , it's , in fact , it's one of the leading causes of divorce worldwide across cultures uh is if there's a female infidelity . Um And so , and so the issue is what benefit could be so great to a woman that she's willing to risk all the , all these costs if it's discovered .
