Several comments:

1. I suspect many of the 70% are bragging, though many of the other 30%
   may equally well not want to admit extramarital affairs.

2. What does the claim that women look for men like their fathers have
   to do with marital fidelity?  "Could it be that fatherdom stops men
   from fooling around?"  Huh?  Of course not.  Their fathers may have
   fooled around (known or unbeknownst to them); for that matter, their
   fathers may have beaten their mothers, been kind to children and
   small animals, or had any of a multitude of personal traits.

3. Wouldn't be surprising if, in fact, women seek men that remind them
   of their fathers.
