Cheating Men 'Spend £200 More On Their Girlfriends'

While many couples will be preparing for the most romantic day of the year tomorrow, some men will be celebrating early – with another woman.

Dubbed 'Mistress Day', 13 February will see unfaithful men and their mistress having an early Valentine's Day.

The study, which has been commissioned by dating website Ashleymadison.com, found that 71% of cheating husbands plan to see their secret partner on 13 February, so that the following day can be left free to spend with their wife.

Of those cheating, some 42% have booked a hotel for their liaison while 35% will be taking their lover to the pub for a night out. On Valentine's Day itself, 60% of scoundrels plan to take their wives out for a meal, and just 2% will take her to the pub.

A total of 3,853 actively unfaithful men were polled and the findings also revealed that when it comes to Valentine's gifts, the wives still miss out.

55% of men plan to spend less than £100 on their wife, while a staggering 81% will spend £100 to £300, or even more, on their mistress.

Traditional diamond jewellery and lingerie are still the most popular gifts for mistresses, while flowers and perfume are given to wives.

A spokesperson for Ashleymadison.com, said: "Valentine's Day has always been associated with secrecy around love affairs; it's a key time for infidelity.

"Of course men spend more on their mistresses: they're out to impress! That goes for the mates down the pub too!"
