Two thirds of women think men who are “too nice” to their significant others are cheating on them. Bizzare? Yes, but it’s backed by research.
Scientists found that a majority of the female folk get suspicious when their partners make grand romantic gestures, i.e. breakfast in bed or new tricks in the bedroom.
Even helping out with housework leads to millions of females to believe her chap is ‘playing away’.
In fact 34 per cent of women said they would be happy to turn a blind eye to a minor indiscretion if it meant that their partner was nicer to live with.
The study shows the top 20 things men do that spooks a female’s suspicions:
- Buys jewellery
- New moves in the bedroom
- More emotional
- Buys flowers
- Buys chocolates
- More attentive
- Buys sexy underwear
- Book a romantic weekend away
- Buys you more things
- Helps more with the chores
- Tells you he loves you more
- Makes breakfast in bed
- Pays more compliments
- Texts more
- Does the cooking
- Calls more
- Listens better
- Runs baths
- Hand over the TV remote
- Cuddles more
Louise Thompson Davies, from Kellogg’s who commissioned the poll of 2,000 adults, said: “It seems there is an emotional gulf between the sexes when it comes to matters of the heart.
“So when men think they are just being nice and showering their other half with gifts and affection they think they are being attentive but the reality is that women just don’t see it like that.
“Today’s work and life pressures have resulted in romantic gestures like making your wife or girlfriend breakfast in bed much more of a rare occasion.
“This is why most women tend to reach for the panic button and suspect the worse when they are made a fuss over. The smallest changes in a man’s behaviour can set a women’s mind whirring and get them worrying.”
