Are You Dating a Potential Cheater?

Like most single women who are dating, I’m sure you’ll want to avoid
getting involved with a man who’s likely to cheat. After all, he could one
day break your heart. But according to statistics, an estimated 50 to 70
percent of men cheat on their mates. How can you tell if the man you’re
dating is one of these potential cheaters? Wouldn’t it be great to have
this information about him before you get too deeply involved?
Find out If He’s Prone to Infidelity
Finding out whether or not the man you’re dating is prone to infidelity
is much easier than you think. Studies reveal that some men are more
likely to cheat than others because of their background, their past
history, or certain character traits. Using this information, I’ve
designed a 7 question quiz that can help you determine if the man you’re
dating is a potential cheater.
Single Women Screen Dates with this Quiz
The Potential Cheaters Quiz was originally posted on my website
http://www.InfidelityAdvice.com to help married women find out if their
husbands are potential cheaters. However numerous single women report that
they’re using the quiz to screen the men they meet at dating sites, and
through dating services and personal ads.
Decide Who Not to Date
The Potential Cheaters quiz can help you make an informed decision
about whether or not to continue dating a man, or how deeply to get
involved. By identifying and avoiding the potential cheaters in the dating
pool, you can save yourself a lot of unnecessary headaches and
heartaches.
Rate Your Date with the Potential Cheaters Quiz
So before you fall head-over-heels in love or get too attached to that
new man in your life, rate your date’s cheating potential with the 7
questions below:
Potential Cheaters Quiz
1.Does he thrive on adventure?
2.Did he have a great deal of sexual experience prior to your
relationship?
3.Does he have lots of female friends?
4.Does he have male friends who are cheating on their wives or
girlfriends?
5.Does he have a parent who cheated?
6.Did he cheat in any of his past relationships?
7.Does he feel that infidelity is really no big deal?
What the Answers Mean:
1.Some men enjoy all the suspense, deception and intrigue that go along
with infidelity. They’ll cheat just for the “thrill of the chase.”
2.Studies reveal that men who were extremely sexually active before
settling down in a committed relationship are more apt to engage in sex
outside that relationship. Don’t expect a leopard to change his spots.
3.Close friendships with women are a common starting point for
infidelity. Friends can quickly turn into lovers. The closer the
friendship, the greater the odds that it will develop into an affair.
4.Never underestimate the power of peer pressure. If his friends are
cheating, he’ll soon be cheating too.
5.Infidelity tends to run in families. Children of unfaithful parents
are often programmed to follow in their footsteps, considering infidelity
to be the norm.
6.“Once a cheater, always a cheater.” There are exceptions, but
statistically speaking, if he cheated once, he’s more apt to do it again.
His history will probably repeat itself.
7.If he doesn’t believe that infidelity is wrong, his behavior will
reflect his beliefs.
How to Evaluate Your Results
Generally speaking, the more ‘yes’ answers, the greater the likelihood
that this man will cheat. But some answers carry more weight than others,
so you’ll want to take a closer look at the results.
If you answered yes to #1, #2, or #5 (but not all three), he’s a
POTENTIAL CHEATER who may very well cheat on you if the opportunity
presents itself. If you decide to get involved with him, you need to make
it difficult for him to cheat. Familiarize yourself with the signs of
infidelity, so you’ll know if he starts to stray.
If you answered yes to #3 or #4 alone, together, or in combination with
#1 or #2, he’s a COMMON “GARDEN-VARIETY” CHEATER who will cheat if he
feels he can do so without getting caught. Your challenge, if you insist
on dating him, is to stay one step ahead of him by learning to recognize
the early warning signs. If you know how to spot the signs of impending
infidelity, you may be able to stop his cheating before it starts, or
leave before he breaks your heart. Familiarize yourself with the 21 major
categories of telltale signs.
If you answered yes to #6 alone or in combination with #1,#2, #3, #4,
or #5 you’re dealing with an EXPERIENCED CHEATER who knows how to hide the
obvious signs of infidelity. The most important thing to do if you’re
dating this man is learn to spot the subtle signs of infidelity, because
these are the signs that will inevitably give him away. Get a good
infidelity reference guide, watch him like a hawk, and try not to get too
deeply involved.
If you answered yes to #7 alone ( This one’s the biggie!) or in
combination with any others, you’ve got a HARD-CORE, HABITUAL CHEATER on
your hands who’s probably already having an affair. (You could unknowingly
be the Other Woman.) For this man, cheating is a way of life. If you don’t
want to become an infidelity statistic, leave this man alone. Should you
decide to take on this challenge, you’re in serious trouble if you don’t
know how to spot the subtle signs of infidelity. Forget about watching for
the usual signs of cheating. This man is an expert at covering his tracks.
The best thing you can do is become adept at spotting the subtle signs of
infidelity, since there won’t be any obvious signs to give him away. The
subtle signs are the ones he won’t even think to cover up. Get the best
infidelity reference book you can find to help you recognize these subtle
signs. Invest in a copy of Is He Cheating on You? – 829 Telltale Signs
which lists practically every known sign of infidelity ( http://www.is-he-cheating-on-you.com/ )
and keep it handy at all times.
How to Deal With a Potential Cheater
If you’re already dating a potential cheater, or thinking about dating
one, you need to know what to do. Even if you only had one yes answer on
the Potential Cheater’s Quiz, there’s still cause for concern. However,
there are precautions you can take. My special report, “How to Handle a
Potential Cheater, gives you several successful strategies to use. To
