Extramarital affairs: Bankers have an extramarital affair ratio of 72%
On the early morning of May 25th, it was reported that the alleged sexual activity of former IMF President Strauss-Kahn had sparked attention to the special group of bankers. In the general impression, bankers are a relatively conservative and reliable group. However, according to a survey by the British website HereIsTheCity, the reality is disheartening, and Kahn is not a lecherous alternative among bankers. If you marry a banker, the likelihood of your relationship is as high as 72%.
According to a survey of 1879 bankers (both male and female) by HereIsTheCity, 72% claimed to have had at least one extramarital affair. Among bankers who have engaged in deviant behavior, 87% have engaged in deep flirting with colleagues, and 82% of surveyed men admit to having an affair with colleagues who are much younger than themselves. The assumed story of having sexual relations with a secretary is not actually common, with only 26% of male bankers pointing out that they have a relationship with the secretary.
There are various reasons why extramarital relationship bankers cheat, but the most important one is that it suits their identity: the cost of extramarital affairs is simply too cheap compared to divorce. The other two more common reasons are that their wives remind themselves of their elderly mother because they have the ability to do so. The survey also found that compared to female bankers, male bankers are more than three times more likely to have an extramarital affair.
The survey also found some interesting data: the average duration of a romantic affair among male bankers is 21 days, with an average of 4 dates. The number of relationships usually gradually decreases after 3 dates. The average duration of an extramarital affair among female bankers is 136 days, usually including 31 dates, and the number of relationships usually gradually decreases after 25 dates.
A slightly comforting finding is that the vast majority of surveyed male bankers stated that they will work hard to manage and maintain their marriage after the secret relationship ends.
