Women can now blame their hormones for being unfaithful

Women go through lot of hormonal changes throughout life. These changes usually occur during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. However, sometimes these changes may be triggered all of a sudden due to thyroid glands and estrogen (the female sex hormone).

In a recent study conducted by Dr. Kristina Durante of The University of Texas at Austin and colleagues found that estrogen levels in a woman is a deciding factor that can make a woman look good and also affect her fertility. Also, if a woman had high level of estrogen known as estradiol she not only looks and feel pretty but she is also more prone to hop from man to man. High level of estrogen is linked with making a woman attractive and flirtatious.

"These women are willing to trade up when the opportunity arises and continue to extract these lucrative resources from men when they can," says Kristina, who led the study. To reach the conclusion, Durante's team tested 52 female undergraduates aged 17 to 30 who were not taking hormone contraceptives. They took two estradiol samples from each, as hormone levels fluctuate from week to week.

“High oestradiol women reported that they had dated more men and were more willing to cheat, from innocent flirts to serious affairs. These women, however, proved no more interested in one-night stands than women with lower levels of oestradiol.”

From the abstract:

They say beauty is only skin deep. But now we know that it’s deep till the sex hormones. Though it’s not possible to believe that all beautiful women are flirtatious and switch partners time to time, this research proves it to be true. Usually attractive women do get more options to choose from. They receive more male attention. This makes them opportunistic.

When such women are in relationship they tend to look for something more or better. This leads to an unfaithful behavior. However, if you are in love with your partner no matter how many options you get, one will still remain faithful. Also, a couple needs to have an understanding between them about their sexual desires and materialistic wants. Selflessness to an extent is essential to balance a relationship.
