ONE in three people reckon it's OK to snoop through text messages.

A survery of 2000 American adults by an online dating site revealed 37 per cent of women have no qualms about rifling through their partners' phones.

The ourtime.com poll said only 29 per cent of guys felt the same.

The justification in both cases was the suspicion of bad behaviour.

Interestingly, people aged 18-34 are stricter about dating protocol, with only 41 per cent happy to date more than one person at a time.

The 55 and aboves, though, reckon it's fine. You know what they say about those retirement homes.
