¿Has atrapado a un infiel? Mejor que te adviertan. No es tanto que él no pueda evitarlo, como revela una investigación. Todo tiene que ver con los nombres de los hombres. Porque los hombres con estos nombres serían los que más probablemente engañan. Y eso está comprobado. Una investigación sobre los nombres más comunes entre las personas que engañan ha mostrado que ciertos nombres de hombres y mujeres son más comunes entre los usuarios de sitios de citas para personas casadas. Uno de estos estudios, realizado por el sitio Gleeden, muestra que los hombres con nombres como Nathan, Chris y Erik son más propensos a ser miembros de estos sitios de "engañadores". No te registras en una cuenta como esa para tomar una taza de té con alguien, ¿verdad...? En cuanto a las mujeres, nombres como Jessica, Amy, Olivia y Rebecca aparecen con frecuencia: esas son las mujeres infieles. Emily y Gabriel en un momento íntimo de Emily in Paris – una escena sobre el amor y la seducción. Claro, es difícil decir esto con un 100% de certeza, porque, ¿qué hay en un nombre...? No todas las Olivias engañan. La investigación sobre nombres y engaños sigue siendo principalmente un tema divertido sin una base científica sólida. La mayoría de los estudios se basan en encuestas de sitios de citas o aplicaciones para personas que buscan una aventura. Pero, si aún quieres saber si el nombre de tu amante es una bandera roja, además de Nathan, Chris y Erik, estos también son nombres problemáticos: Para hombres: Tom, Alexander y Mark Para mujeres: Anna, Lisa y Sarah Y no, el nombre no lo dice todo, también influyen las profesiones y el entorno en el que alguien crece. Por ejemplo, se ha demostrado que los hombres de clases sociales más bajas que viven en ciudades están relativamente más involucrados en relaciones extramatrimoniales que los hombres de clases sociales más altas que viven en pueblos. Así que... Si tu pareja se llama Chris, vive en Ámsterdam y no gana miles de euros por encima de la media, ten cuidado, dicen los investigadores...

This makes it hard for others to see their true nature, especially at first. 2. They’re Very Nice They know exactly what to say and do to come across as understanding and compassionate. In reality, they use this 'empathy' as a way to bond with people and achieve their own goals.

They Give Compliments Narcissists know how to flatter and compliment others to win their sympathy. However, they do this subtly so it doesn’t seem too obvious. For example, they may praise someone’s intelligence or talents, but always with an underlying intention to bind that person to them and gain control over them. So, it's not sincere. You see, they say it, but they don't mean a word of it. It’s something you’ll find hard to notice. So, watch out and pay attention to subtle things like this. Don’t let someone fool you too easily. You control how your life goes, in any relationship or friendship.By Livia ter Borgh
