The French and Infidelity

Infidelity most  French think it’s ok !

The French are the most forgiving nation in the world  when it comes to having affairs it was revealed in a recent study by the pew Research Centre in a study in 2013. The study was undertaken well before the present French President Francois Hollande was allegedly caught visiting his actress girlfriend Julie Gayet during his lunch break in Paris (he would pull up outside her flat on a motor scooter wearing a full face crash helmet). However the people in the US are not so forgiving and rank 28th on the list just behind Ghana and Brazil.
The study researched people from 39 countries about attitudes towards extra marital affairs asking them the question "Do you personally believe that married people having an affair is morally acceptable, morally unacceptable or is not a moral issue?"
France was the most forgiving with only 47% saying it was morally unacceptable and a huge 77% (source French institute of Public Opinion) said the alleged affair was a private matter which meant only 23% thought the matter was a matter of public concern.


So how did the rest of the world compare to the French in the ‘ affairs are unacceptable stakes’ ? Germany 2nd with 60%, Italy 65%, Spain 64% and South Africa 65%. See the entire list here.
