52% of women and 57% of men have cheated on their partners during a business trip.
For many of us, marriage is the bond between two people who will remain faithful to their partner in good times and bad. But excess of options at the workplace, social-media platforms, and online dating sites are making Indians rethink the traditional approach to commitment.
According to a survey conducted by Gleeden, an extra-marital dating app for married people, the number of people looking for a third party has increased. The app now has over 600,000 users aging between 34-49 years and the data they provide about extra marital affairs is eye-opening.
Here are some of the many reasons for why women cheat on their partners:
- 77 per cent of Indian women cheat because they are bored by their monotonous married life.
- Since the Supreme Court of India abolished section 377 which criminalized same-sex extra-marital relationships, there was a +45 per cent increase in same-sex encounters among married people.
- India’s most unfaithful women live in the big metropolis: Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Kolkata are in the top 3.
- 31 per cent of unfaithful women have already had an affair with one of their neighbours.

Going by the stats, it seems that the Indian audience is slowly but surely moving towards the idea of open/free relationships and are even open to exploring it after getting married.

Bathroom Selfies
Firstly, that flash is obscuring the torso/chest/face you're obviously desperate to show off. Secondly, you're clearly a bit of a narcissist/you don't get out much, hence the bathroom. Thirdly, don't think we can't see that there's a toilet in the background.

Height
Short of stating your shoe size and your contact lens prescription, writing your height in your bio essentially translates to the following "I'm not interesting, I'm not witty, but I sure am tall".

The group profile picture
Not only is this confusing as we have no idea who you are, but it immediately leads us to believe that you are the least attractive person in the photograph. Not a good start. Either bag yourself some beastly friends or play it safe with a solo pic.

Dog/child photos
You're asking for trouble with either. Whilst the former will only bring immense disappointment when paired with "not my dog" in your bio, the latter is bound to catalyse commit issues in even the broodiest of broods. Expect an apocalypse if your photo includes both.

Using emojis in the place of words
We get it, you like beer/wine/avocados and sometimes you smile/wear sunglasses/dance like a sassy girl in a red dress. It might be 2017 but the language of love is still a lexical art. Say it, don't emoji it.

And finally
Remember, no one is everyone's "type on paper". You're looking for someone who "ticks all the boxes" but doesn't give you "the ick". You want to show that you're good at "grafting" but don't be "muggy" about it. You're ready to put all your "eggs in one basket" and are gagging to "crack on" but terrified of being "pied", so you're "pranging out".
