"Hip Hop Fans Are More Likely To Cheat"...?

(source: theboombox)



"With dating sites growing in popularity across the
globe, there's new research about how tastes correspond with how people act in
relationships. Recently, a U.K. dating site for extramarital affairs did a
survey of 460,000 spouses that are currently looking for something a little
extra online and found that hip-hop fans are more likely to cheat on significant
others compared to fans of other genres such as rock, pop, classical, soul,
R&B, electronica and more.

The reason? Well, the site, IllicitEncounters.com, claims that
hip-hop fans are more comfortable with strong sexual content and are therefore
more relaxed and accepting of their own sexuality. A site spokesperson, Sara
Hartley, claims that research shows that a significant number of married people
weigh the prospect of cheating at one point or another, but those that are more
used to rampant sexuality have an easier time actually going through with
it.

'As a genre, hip-hop has always delivered the most explicit lyrical
content when it comes to sex, and listeners who aren't as comfortable
recognizing their own desires may find a lot of the content embarrassing or
objectionable,' theorized Hartley. 'It makes total sense to us why hip-hop would
top the playlists of our members.'"



What ever happened to just liking the same kind of music and not having it to relate to a person's fidelity or infidelity? Personally, I think this "study" is all bull. There's not enough evidence to show that people who listen to hip hop are more than likely to cheat.

What do you think? Does listening to music reflect a person's commitment to a relationship?

  3. Although it might be unfair to catigorize hip hop as a whole like this, this study does kinda make a point. But you really have to seperate the sub genres out of this mix. Not all hip hop and rap music is sex and violence but a BIG majority of it is.
    And that majority, unfortunately, is the most popular with ALL walks of life including those who are unfaithful in their relationships.

  4. who is this LizEatsFood person? You make a good point. A lot of "popular" rap music tends to be about sex and infidelity, which leads many people to think that rap fans are more likely to cheat in their relationships. People need to realize that rap isn't just "booty poppin'", but that there is quality rap out there.
