The research carried out by a dating website for married people found that 95 percent of women and 83 percent of men claim to have successfully conducted illicit encounters without their spouses finding out.

這份由一個約會網站針對已婚人士所做的研究發現，95%女性和83%男性宣稱，曾經成功有過不正當邂逅，而不被配偶發現。

UndercoverLovers.com asked 3000 women and the same number of men if their partners knew about their cheating and found that the overall percentage of straying spouses that never get found out is 89 percent.

「地下情人」網站詢問3000名女性和同樣人數的男性，他們的伴侶是否知道他們偷情，結果發現，出軌伴侶從來沒被發現的整體比例是89%。

Emily Pope of Undercover Lovers, which has more than 650,000 members, also said that women are better liars as compared the opposite sex.

擁有超過65萬名會員的「地下情人」網站人員艾蜜莉．波普也說，與男人比起來，女人比較會撒謊。

"Many of our members, both male and female, have been philandering for years without being caught," she said.

「我們的會員有很多偷腥多年都沒被抓到，男性、女性都有」，她說。

"Studies have shown that women are actually better liars than men, so it’s not surprising that female adulterers are better at getting away with it than their male counterparts," Pope added.

「研究顯示，女人的確比男人會撒謊，所以，偷腥的女性比男性更容易安然脫身也不令人意外。」
