What is cheating?
To act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination.
There isn't just one type of cheating, cheating has many forms.
- Infidelity: this is where you are unfaithful to your spouse or committed partner. This can be emotional or sexual.
- Deceit: concealing or misrepresenting the truth
- Not following the rules: this includes sports, video games, contests, diets, etc.
- Academically: cheating on a test, using answers strategically written down or memorized, having someone else take the test, hacking into the system to change your grade, etc.
A new survey showed that Texas is the #1 state in the US for Cheaters
This study didn't just look at romantic cheating.
Let's look at dieting, following a restrictive diet can be hard, and some things are unattainable, however, when it comes to dieting, 77% of Texans surveyed have cheated on a diet.
Sometimes in life, you have to stand in line, waiting for a ride, waiting to get into a movie or concert, and waiting for food. Then someone walks in and walks to the front of the line and jumps in. It can be infuriating, but it happens a lot in Texas, 51% of Texans surveyed said they have cut someone in line.
Cheating on a test at school happens, but it also happens in the workplace, 45% of Texans surveyed have cheated on something work-related.
Is bending the truth cheating? It is when something like age is a factor in a position, contest, or getting something cheaper because of age. 40% of Texans surveyed have lied about age.
In video games, one would think it wouldn't be that easy to beat a video game, but people are clever and have found ways, 40% of Texans surveyed have cheated at a multiplayer game.
It's time to factor in romantic cheating, 28% of Texans surveyed have cheated on a partner. When you think of cheating, romantic cheating is usually what people think. Oddly, only 28% of Texans admitted to this type of cheating. I'm guessing they were cheating on this survey.
The biggest regret of those respondents in this survey was, cheating on a partner.
New Mexico topped the list as the state with the least amount of cheating.
It's possible Texas topped the list because we are a very big state with a lot of people.
