Some Men Who are Wired to Cheat

Forty percent of men have a gene that makes them more likely to cheat, says a new study. All men have a gene that regulates vasopressin, a hormone that helps people form bonds with one another. Swedish researchers have found a variant in the gene which reduces his inclination to bond, and increases the likelihood that he will cheat. These men were less likely to be married and those that were, reported a higher percentage of marital problems. Since 40 % of men have the cheater gene, should women be testing their current and future husbands' DNA?
Some men may overcome the influence of their genes, but only of they make a conscious effort to do so. So ladies, be aware, and hold off starting a joint bank account for few years.
