" Turns out your friends are totally right about your dating mishaps, as a recent study has basically proven the whole &amp;#039;once a cheater, always a cheater&amp;#039; thing.  According to University of Denver grad student, Kayla Knopp, people who cheat in one relationship are three and a half times more likely to cheat in their next one. She&amp;#039;s got some data to back it up, &amp;#039;cause we all love a good study, having surveyed 484 unmarried 18-34 year olds to discover if cheaters are usually repeat offenders. The results indicated that yes, yes they are.  Knopp suggests that it doesn&amp;#039;t even matter what type of cheating occurred,or the reasons behind it. Whether it&amp;#039;s a &amp;#039;but I was drunk and it was just one time&amp;#039; incident, or an ongoing affair, the stats still stand. What&amp;#039;s really sad, though, is that the study also showed that those who are cheated ON are more likely to be cheated on again. Which just sucks, really.  Obviously, this is just a study on probability, and doesn&amp;#039;t necessarily apply to every relationship ever. Sure, people who cheat are more LIKELY to cheat again, but that doesn&amp;#039;t mean they definitely will. Everyone&amp;#039;s different, and people do occasionally learn from their mistakes. Our advice? Give people a chance, try to understand, but know when to walk away when it looks like a pattern. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
