Deadline Newsroom - Doctors, cops and lawyers top the most-likely-to-commit-adultery list for men. For women it's teachers, soccer moms and nurses.

Real estate agents, however, show up on lists for both men and women who are most likely to cheat on their spouses.

Must be those staged bedrooms in all those empty Open House events.

I'm just sayin'.

AshleyMadison.com, a dating site for married people who want some action outside the marriage, checked their nearly 2 million member base by profession and gender and found that among the top five professions, real estate agents showed up on the lists for both guys and dolls.

Married Men Most Likely To Be A Creep
• Physicians
• Police Officers
• Lawyers
• Real Estate Agents
• Engineers

Married Women Most Likely To Be A Skank
• Teachers
• Stay-at-home Moms
• Nurses
• Administrative Assistants
• Real Estate Agents

See what's happening here? Patrolling police officers visiting stay-at-home moms. Doctors and nurses hooking up. Lawyers representing administrative assistances in sexual harassment suits. Married real estate agents getting in on with anyone.

Noel Biderman, president and founder of AshleyMadison.com, notes there are several contributing factors to why people of these professions stray more often -- working in high stress environments for long hours.

Today's housing market can be quite stressful.
