They also tend to be the dregs of society.
People who stab their partners in the back tend to be psychopaths? Who'd have thunk
What about grindr?
Cheating on your partner makes you a bad person who would have known
I think a lot of cars of"cheating" are a lot more complex than just "bring a bad person"
Eh? This reminds me of studies we get every so often that say stuff like "crossing the road whilst drunk and on LSD marginally increases chances of becoming a speedbump." I feel like they're a waste of time to publish in the news, even if it's worthwhile to study everything in science because sometimes shocking revelations can be found.

Oh my god that is the worst
Only here for friends, and I only go to strip clubs for the hot wings. kay.
You guys haven't considered that there are scenarios where someone can be using Tinder while in a committed relationship and it's not cheating?
Outside of curiosity and possibly to find friends, what other reasons would someone in a relationship use tinder? The vast majority are gonna be using it find sexual partners ie cheating What are you even trying to say? What is your angle on this?
Or finding sexual partners and not cheating...
I agree that, during a relationship, that's 99.99% gonna be a lie, but I have met friends on Tinder when looking for relationships, either when we've not been interested in each other or that we're pretty far away.
study finds link between psychopathy and low empathy behaviours! like all the previous ones did! who funded this piece of shit honestly, what a waste of time
That people can have relationships that aren't strictly monogamous...?
idk i mean me and my gf are in a reasonably open relationship, we don't really care if we hook up with someone for just sex (although so far i'm 0-1 to her in that regard :/) i havent used tinder personally but i can't imagine it'd be a bad way to find someone to have some quick fun with
I wish the article / study was specific about what kinds of committed relationships the surveyed were in, kind of sinks the whole boat on whatever this was trying to establish.
Those kind of relationships are a small minority though. Generous estimates put them at about 4 to 5 percent of the population. And I'm pretty sure a lot more than 4 to 5 percent of people living in this country use dating apps like Tinder.
You're assuming that the characteristics of the general population match those of Tinder users. Maybe non-monogamous people are over-represented on Tinder.
Even if they were over represented, I think it's pretty obvious the vast majority of people in relationships who're on tinder are not. Non-monogamous relationships are not common at all.
The study refers The Dark Triad as its definition of psychopathy, which is broadly defined as selfishness and callousness. The headline becomes somewhat self evident in light of this, imo, but it's also important to note that when compared to non-single non-users, tinder users on the whole were rated much more psychopathic - even more so than the difference between non-single and single tinder users. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/108589/8e5091c7-1d08-4935-b5e1-5d35d4707a4b/image.png
Old creepy men can be pretty sociopathic.
I agreed with you up to here. The problem with cheating isn't that it's polygamous, it's that it's low and dishonest.
Ugh old people.
Best part is cheaters tend to have the most narcissistic mentality from my experience. If you confront them about it and call them out on their bullshit you get the following, I legitimately had to live this stupid shit. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/230446/ef1c7a65-4b6f-4c64-8db9-ffddf7b6e408/image.png I saw this image in another post a long time ago it and always stuck in my head. The bright side to finding out and getting out of a relationship with a terrible person who cheated is you know the signs now. I've moved on since then, but managed to avoid some pretty catastrophic relationships due to seeing warning signs or red flags. No, cheaters are terrible people. I've been cheated on and the person actually treated everyone around her terribly, complete disrespect for most people, only cared about herself and not others, narcissistic. I've noticed that people whom I've personally known who cheated on their significant other all share a certain level of characteristics and behaviors. People don't just wake up and cheat, there is some systematic process which involves a shit ton of dishonesty. Yeah, cheating can be complex issue, but ultimately it is because the cheater is a shitty person and uses issues to justify their shitty behavior. Why is it normal people can have issues in relationships and overcome them, then shitty people who cheat use it as an excuse rather then to fix the issues.
Ignoring the fact that that is only your experiences, every relationship is different, and complicated. I'm not saying cheating is good thing, but it can be caused by different factors and indicate different things in the relationship.
I don't think he is adding polygamous or open relationships to correspond to cheating in this matter, only monogamous ones.
Until it's 1-1 nobody is going to take that claim seriously my friend
