CONTRARY to general belief, women who have affairs hardly get caught, reported China Press.
The daily reported that a new survey in Britain showed that only 15% of females who had affairs were caught by their partners.
“However, one in five men who had an affair would be discovered,” it reported.

Forty billionaires and their families in the US have pledged to donate more than half of their fortune to charity.
The donators include Microsoft founder Bill Gates, businessman Warren Buffett, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, pharmaceutical tycoon Patrick Soon-Shiong, Oracle founder Larry Ellison and Hollywood director George Lucas, Xinhua reported.
The list also include David Rockefeller, from the Rockefeller family, and Barron Hilton, son of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton.
The families all participated Wednesday in the 'Giving Pledge', a donation drive launched by Buffett and Gates. The idea was to invite the wealthiest individuals and families in the US to give the majority of their wealth for philanthropic causes and to charitable organisations during their lifetime or even after their death.
'The pledge is a moral commitment to give, not a legal contract,' a statement from the Giving Pledge said.
Buffett said the drive has 'just started, but already we've had a terrific response'.
That's right, there's another potential cause for the end of the world.
We were previously told that, due to the Mayan calendar, the world would end in the year 2012. Subsequently, we can expect climate change to cause another ice age, or lead to extinction, that is, if the sun hasn't burned out and plunged us into cold and darkness.
The future isn't looking bright, (ahem….) but here's a doomsday theory even skeptics can't totally deny: a massive asteroid, named the 1999 RQ36 was discovered in 1999 and has a width of over 1,800 feet. Scientists have said that this asteroid's impact could have a similar effect to that which allegedly wiped out the dinosaurs. Great.
However there are potential theories on how to prevent the collision. Scientists have a number of different ways of deflecting or destroying an approaching object intent on causing the world's destruction. The highlights involve using mirrors to attempt to vaporize the asteroid's surface using the sun's rays, crashing spaceships into it to alter the path, and a nuclear blast. The scientists have said that an attempt to divert the asteroid would need over 100 years preparation to have any realistic chance of success.
The good news is that there is only a 1-in-1,000 chance of the asteroid hitting the earth before 2200, and even if it does, it's our grandchildren's problem now. (via MSNBC)
