That McKinsey report [no link given] didn't say just men. It said people. Meaning men and women. Since it takes two to tango, that would mean equal numbers. But on the other hand, it's all women in brothels, so that industry could easily boost the number of male "affairs" so the male numbers could be higher. But even at 100% of males admitting an affair, that would still mean 10% of women to get to 60% of people. For CB and others mathematically challenged, imagine 100 people, 50 men, 50 women. If 50 men have affairs, then 10 women need to too, to get to 60, which is 60 percent, cent being 100, as in 100 cents to the dollar. If only 80% of men have affairs, that is 40 of the men, so 20 of the women would need to have affairs to make up the 60%. That's nearly half the women. These are very high numbers. I don't believe them. I don't believe that post quoting McKinsey's report. Or I don't believe McKinsey [who the heck did they ask - people in a Lindy's swing club?] Or I don't believe the people who had fun lying to them. Or maybe I'm as green as grass. We even have a Ministry of Women's Affairs in New Zealand, paid for by the taxpayer! You'd think they could arrange their own affairs. I must be the only person in NZ missing out. [Lindy and others can save their snide remark that my pet sheep counts too]. Mqurice
