The majority of men who admit seeing other women behind their partners' backs are over this height, according to research

A report on what drives men to cheat, found that the majority of those that admit seeing another woman behind their partners' back were over five foot 10.

In fact, the study included in a report by online affairs website Ashley Madison found that taller men were twice as likely to cheat when compared to those under five foot 10.

It is not known why this is the case, but experts have said that so-called 'small man syndrome' may mean that shorter guys are not as confident with women.

The research also comes following another report that said that if your partner's age ends in a 9, you should also keep a close eye on them.

In a study published by Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences, people who were facing a landmark birthday were more likely to be unfaithful.

The thought of entering a new decade means they are likely to take more risks and be more spontaneous.

Meanwhile another factor on whether your man will cheat is intelligence, with Ashley Madison revealing that three per cent of its members have a PhD - compared to just 0.7 per cent of the global population.

One theory is that men with higher IQs generally have more resources to keep their liasions a secret.
