Quote by Buz
For every cheating man, there is a cheating woman so it's got to be an equal ratio. If someone takes a poll and doesn't get equal numbers then either they're incompetent or they polled some liars. Even gays and lesbians cheat.

Common sense. Not many have that anymore.

Common sense would be to put more faith in polls than in an assumption. The only way to know whether both genders do in fact cheat equally is to do research, like polls. One person can cheat with many other individuals who may only cheat with them. These individuals may not even be cheating at all, but could be thinking they're in a committed relationship with this one person. One gender might also be cheating more with people from the same sex. Etc.

I will have to disagree with you. I know many pollsters and have had them as clients. Talk about a racket. I'll take common sense and real life observation over them any day.
There is never a guarantee the information pollsters receive from individuals is truthful. But the biggest factor is there is usually bias in the way pollsters get their information or they just don't poll enough numbers. I've sat with a client before and told them that I don't at all believe they are getting a true demographic using their methods.
Polls to me, are mere entertainment. Physical surveys, now, those are much more accurate. That's like getting a traffic count for a certain street corner and stuff like that. Information that is much more useful than a poll.

So you're actually saying that you believe what you hear from people around you and perhaps the media you read/watch gives you a more truthful and unbiased view of reality than an actual survey that is (or should be at least) made to rule out as much bias as possible. I'm not saying that all polls are done good or accurate, but to essentially state that relying on gut feeling and hearsay is more common sense than relying on polls kinda blows my mind. The whole purpose of polls/surveys is to minimize the bias of gut feeling and hearsay.

No. Only men cheat.
Which means all cheating men are gay - because they're cheating with each other.
Wait. . . no, that's not making any sense.
I think, perhaps, some women cheat. Like one. There's one cheating married woman out there and she hooks up with the whole world every night. Like Santa, but for pussy.
Don't believe everything that you read.

Really? Let's look not only at what the polls said about Trump and Brexit, but also (as the one thing I can pluck from recent memory, which may not be known by many) what the polls said about the last UK election (even as the exit polls suggested a Tory majority, on TV one commentator said 'if that happens, I'll eat my hat').
What I'm saying is that it depends on the poll. You can 'remove bias' as much as possible, but you can't stop someone from lying. I would suggest that trying to poll married people on their faithfulness (or otherwise) is a pointless exercise, and I agree with Buz in this instance.
If you think that you can put any faith at all in the honesty of unfaithful married people, than you are being more than just a little bit naive. Married couples who cheat are, by definition, already lying to their spouses- why would they then tell a complete stranger the truth?
I can't see why people would lie about their political choices, and then tell the truth about their infidelity.
