So it turns out some states are more likely to breed cheaters than others โ€” and according to a brand new study, New York is leading the pack of love rats. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’”

Researchers over at Kalon decided to dig into the Google Keyword Planner (you know, where people type things they think no one sees ๐Ÿ‘€) and analyzed search terms related to:

  • Cheating
  • Manipulation
  • Affair websites

Yikes.

They gave each state a โ€œCheating Search Scoreโ€ based on how wild the search history was, and New York came out on top โ€” with search activity about affairs 29% higher than average. Thatโ€™s a lot of secret tabs and cleared browser histories.

๐Ÿ’ฃ The Top 10 States Most Likely to Engage in Infidelity:

  1. New York ๐Ÿ—ฝ
  2. Alaska โ„๏ธ
  3. Nevada ๐ŸŽฐ
  4. Wyoming ๐Ÿค 
  5. Hawaii ๐ŸŒบ
  6. Vermont ๐Ÿ
  7. Rhode Island โš“
  8. Georgia ๐Ÿ‘
  9. California ๐ŸŒด
  10. Oregon ๐ŸŒฒ

Notice how Florida didnโ€™t make the list? Thatโ€™s because everyone in Florida is 100% loyal(Just trust me). The least sketchy state award goes toโ€ฆ Mississippi, which had the lowest numbers across the board. Also keeping it (mostly) faithful: Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

So what do you think โ€” is your state on the list? Are people really more likely to cheat based on where they live? Or do some folks just need to clear their search history better? ๐Ÿ˜…
