\"Is<\/a>People have affairs for a myriad of reasons. The obvious ones are because they\u2019re not satisfied with their marriage and are looking for a woman to fulfill their needs where their wife falls short. There are however, many cases where men commit adultery simply because they feel that it is the best way to slow down aging (or at least their perception of aging).

What Studies Show<\/h3>\n

There was a study that was recently conducted which showed that people may be more inclined to have an affair based on their age. More specifically it found that that people whose age ended in a \u20189\u2019 (e.g. 49) were more likely to have an extramarital relationship. The study found that men whose age ended in a 9 were, \u201c18% higher than what would be expected by chance\u201d<\/a>. The logic behind this was that people who were approaching a new milestone birthday such as 40 felt that perhaps they were missing out on something in their life. While this is an interesting phenomenon, it is people of all ages who have affairs, not just those whose age ends in a 9. What this study does show though is that age is indeed a critical factor for men having affairs. In the case of men who are having a midlife crisis, they are in the same boat as those people who are approaching a milestone birthday. Therefore, they may be more likely to have an affair to make up for what they perceive as advanced aging.
