Cheating goes mainstream: Web site helps you cheat on your partner - without getting caught

NY Daily News CATEY HILL writes:

[A study by the National Opinion Research Center found that one in four men and about one in five women has been unfaithful. Fifty-four percent of Americans know someone who has an unfaithful spouse, according to a Gallup Poll/USA Today poll of 1,025 adults.

This may explain why AshleyMadison.com, the largest online dating site for people in relationships, has a whopping 3.5 million members, according to CEO Noel Biderman.

AshleyMadison.com is a bit like Match.com, but for people in relationships or for people seeking a "taken" partner. Its tagline, "Life is Short. Have an Affair," speaks volumes - cheat with other cheaters.]

I don’t have to cheat or lie.It’s never been in my nature..It’s not what I’m made of..But, If I see a lady who is honest and decent and stand up..Umm Umm Umm Lets just say if she’s free

I could be with her if she’s free & easy and fun to be with..I’m not afraid to follow or lead..

Peace

Nice.

I’m glad I’m not living a lie.

[Divorce lawyers would seem to have easy access to the incriminating info.]

Good point, Jimi. I heard about this site last year — from a lawyer who was contemplating having an affair… must be a lot of miserable married people out there willing to take that risk. I told him it would be very stupid for him to do this. But then again — maybe his wife thinks it’s OK. Whenever I gave women the heads up their partners were cheating — they didn’t seem to care. Sometimes they stay because of the children, sometimes the money, and sometimes because they’re also cheating. Once again glad I’m not stuck in a relationship.

I saw “West Side Story” and it made me crave a PR.

Tony has a beautiful voice — I heard he was the understudy. Maria was beautiful and sweet . And Anita was very hot. Unbelievable choreography. I liked Tony’s body. Some of the men were beautiful dancers — very powerful. A PR thought or two ran through my head. I must admit.

I haven’t been doing my homework — I haven’t looked at http://www.hope4love.com yet. I’ll guess they have a whole section on PR dating. I’m probably going to be getting zillions of cookies on my computer. The risks we take…. probably still safer than dating a stranger — just looking.
