An experienced eye can tell infidelity in a man’s face, according to researchers at the University of Western Australia. In particular it seems that both women and men are able to spot men who have cheated on their partners, just by analyzing their facial expressions.

As the article in the scientific journal Royal Society Open Science states, the study was done online and involved more than 1,500 women and men, aged 18 to 75.

They saw photos of 189 white adults, depicted with neutral expressions, 101 of whom were men. The men and women whose photos were used provided information about how many times they had cheated on their partners.

According to lead researcher Dr Yong Zhi Foo, the men who found which men in the photos were unfaithful fell right in most of the cases, which was not the case for the women, who were asked to identify the unfaithful women. This particular finding surprised the researchers.

“The level of accuracy could have biological significance, as an evolutionary adaptation to spotting potential fighters and poachers. However, we should not rely on our first impressions and express judgments about infidelity in everyday situations”, said the researchers.

Private detectives, experienced in investigating extramarital affairs, reveal other “signs” of infidelity.

They point out that the man, who has “cuckolded” his wife, may change his habits somewhat or say that he works overtime.

He may also be hiding credit card bills, absenting himself from family events, and having missed calls on his cell phone from an unknown number.
