"They Fall In Love First: Psychology Graduate Shares Which Gender Cheats Most and Relationship Facts

• A psychology graduate with a master's in Investigative Psychology shared surprising relationship statistics in a viral TikTok video
• Jade Rebecca Bernstein covered everything from who falls in love first to why women steal their partners' hoodies
• Her fact about which gender cheats more sparked strong reactions from viewers who found the answer revealing

A South African psychology graduate with a master's degree in Investigative Psychology sparked interest for breaking down some of the most surprising stats about love, attraction, and cheating. Jade Rebecca Bernstein posted the selfie-style TikTok video on 4 October 2026, describing herself as a "psychology girly" who loves sharing stats and facts with her followers. The clip quickly gained traction for one reason above all others: her take on which gender cheats more.

Bernstein confirmed that statistically, men cheat more than women. But she went further, explaining that the type of cheating also differs. Men are more likely to cheat physically, while women are more inclined towards emotional infidelity. She linked this directly to how each gender forms connection, noting that men typically need physical intimacy before emotional attachment develops, while women tend to need the emotional bond first.

She also covered a string of other facts that had viewers nodding along. Among them: men tend to fall in love before women do, which Bernstein herself admitted surprised her. She also explained that the more you see someone's face, the more attractive they become, a psychological effect that also helps explain why 66% of relationships reportedly begin as friendships, with romantic feelings often developing around the one-year mark.

On a more unexpected note, @jaderebeccabernstein touched on voice and attraction, sharing that some research suggests women can sometimes identify a potential cheater simply by hearing a man's voice. She was careful to add that the popular theory linking deep voices to higher testosterone and attractiveness has not actually been proven. Watch the full TikTok here:
