根据(无可辩驳的)科学证据显示,曾经被背叛的女性最终将赢得两性关系的胜利。
Allow us to explain. A new study
from Binghamton University, New York and University College London
titled ‘Intrasexual Mate Competition and Breakups: Who Really Wins?’
suggests that women who breakup with a partner because he’s been
unfaithful could end up coming out on top in the long run. Why? Because
the experience will have taught them to how to adapt to breakups and
make better choices in future partners.

容我们慢慢道来。纽约州立大学宾汉姆顿分校和英国伦敦大学学院发布的一项名为“同性间性伴侣竞争及分手:谁是真正的胜者”的研究称,因为另一半不忠而分手的女性从长远来看在两性关系中会是胜利的一方。这是为什么呢?因为她们从中学会适应分手,并且在将来的伴侣选择上会做出更正确的决定。

“你对我不忠?无所谓!”
The
study, which involved a survey of 5,705 people, found that after you go
through the usual anger, hatred, betrayal, sadness, furious facebook
stalking you will come out the other side stronger and better qualified
to jump back on the dating horse.
Dr Craig Morris, who led the study, explains: “Our thesis is that the woman who ‘loses’ her mate to another woman will go through a period of post-relationship grief and betrayal, but come out of the experience with higher mating intelligence that allows her to better detect cues in future mates that may indicate low mate value. Hence, in the long-term, she ‘wins’.“

And
if that wasn’t good news enough, the study also surmised that the woman
your ex cheated with will ultimately be the one who comes off worst.
Sucker!
“The
‘other woman’, conversely, is now in a relationship with a partner who
has a demonstrated history of deception and, likely, infidelity. Thus,
in the long-term, she ‘loses’” explains Dr Morris.
You on the other hand will be armed with extreme “mating intelligence” which means you’ll be able to spot cheating warning signs, will be better equipped to deal with any heartache in the future and ultimately more qualified to side-step future douchebags.
Who’s the loser now eh?
