Celebrity Mr and Mistress – Only 1 in 4 Singles Would ‘Fight For This Love’ Like Cheryl Cole
Research conducted by free online dating website Smooch.com reveals public opinion on Celebrity Cheats; just 26% of single men and women would stand by an unfaithful partner.
The celebrity laundrette has seen a remarkable influx of dirty laundry since the start of the New Year. Stars such as Tiger Woods, Vernon Kay, John Terry and Ashley Cole have all played their role in the world of Celebrity Mr and Mistress; so Smooch set out to investigate how the public would react to a cheating partner.
Over 7,500 members were polled in 12 hours by free online dating website Smooch.com. Single men and women were asked ‘What would you do if your partner cheated?’ Whilst 26% agreed with Cheryl Cole that if it’s worth having, it’s worth fighting for, a staggering 62% would fight with a golf club like Elin Nordegren rather than fight for love.
Intriguingly, 1 in 3 men would fight for love compared to only 1 in 5 women. The results also confirm that Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned as 67% of women would reach for the nearest golf club compared to 57% of men. Whilst just 13% of women and 10% of men would cry if they discovered that their partner cheated.
The statistics also indicate that age is likely to influence a person’s reaction to an unfaithful partner. Those aged 61 and above were the most likely (36%) age group to fight to save a relationship if they discovered their partner had cheated; compared to only 24% of those aged 18-24.
14% of singles aged 18-24 would cry if their partner cheated on them, however as age increased, the tears steadily decreased to 10% of those aged 61 and above. Furthermore, violent revenge was the most popular response for those aged 31-35.
In a separate study, Smooch asked 2,000 singles about trusting a person who has previously cheated. 64% of women compared to 45% of men believed that once a cheat, always a cheat. The results also confirmed the trend that men are more forgiving than women with 1 in 3 men believing people make mistakes compared to less than 1 in 4 women.
Nevertheless, it appears men are 7 times more likely than women to follow in the footsteps of unfaithful celebrities as they believe it is only cheating if you get caught.
