Revealed: Where Adulterers Meet to Cheat!

• Coffee houses and restaurants are the most popular locations for adulterers to meet for a first date as they provide a good alibi should you spot someone you know
• 10 miles away from your house/work is the best distance for adulterers to meet if they live or work in a city, 15 miles in small villages or towns
• 65% meet during work hours, while 24% meet up on the weekend and 11% on weeknights
• The most popular hours to sneak out for an affair during the working day are between 12-3pm and 4-6pm.
• The research comes from the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com

Arranging to meet with an adulterer for a first date? Your safest bet might be a coffee shop, just make sure it’s a way away from home, so says new research.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed over 1500 members to find the locations where adulterers meet for a first date. 38% of adulterers meet at a coffee house, 25% at a restaurant, 20% at a bar, 10% at a pub, and 3% at a hotel (4% chose ‘other’).

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains:

“Needless to say, the general idea here is not only to have an exciting date, but to not get caught. A coffee house not only provides a decent stop for a first date, but a good alibi too. If you get spotted, it’s not exactly improbable for someone to believe that you just got talking to a random stranger in a packed coffee house.

The same could be said of a bar or a pub; it might not be someone’s idea of a romantic first date, but when you’re just getting started, it provides some much needed security.

However, some people skip the pleasantries and just meet at a hotel. Each to their own.”

The research also found that adulterers in bigger cities meet, on average, 10 miles away from their home and/or workplace, while those in smaller, rural locations stray slightly further from home, with an average of 15 miles.

“Don’t defecate where you eat, so they say,” says Grant.

“Meeting in a neutral location is key; you don’t want to be looking over your shoulder for the entire date in fear that you’ll bump into someone you know. It’s even more important for those in smaller towns – news travels fast in small areas.”

65% of adulterers admitted to meeting during work hours, while 24% meet up on the weekend, and 11% on weeknights.

The most popular hours to sneak out for an affair during the working day were between 12-3pm and 4-6pm.

“Those ‘meetings’ that your manager attends out of the office at random hours during the day? Maybe they’re not the sort of meetings that you think they are,” says Grant.

“With familial responsibilities during evenings and weekends, the working day is the least suspicious and easiest time to sneak out for an affair.”

They Cheated Emissions, Now Their Drivers Cheat Too – VW: The Car of the Adulterer!

They Cheated Emissions, Now Their Drivers Cheat Too – VW: The Car of the Adulterer!

• 22% of affair-seeking men and 18% of affair-seeking women in the UK drive Volkswagens
• English men and women prefer VWs, while Scottish men and women prefer Audis and Volkswagens respectively
• Men think that an expensive car will impress their date, while women aren’t as concerned
• The car you drive can reflect your personality and status, hence the popularity of luxurious saloons
• The research comes from the UK’s leading extramarital dating website, IllicitEncounters.com

Volkswagens are the most commonly driven cars among affair-seekers in the UK, new research has found.

Volkswagen received 22% of the male vote and 18% of the female vote.

In fact, the Germans were dominant, with Mercedes and Audi coming in 2nd and 3rd in the male vote (19% and 14% respectively), and Audi and BMW coming in 2nd and 3rd for women (14% and 12%).

The research also found that VWs were the most popular cars for both men and women in England, while Scottish men opted for Audis, and Scottish women for Volkswagens.

The results come from the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com, who surveyed 1000 of their members.

Spokesperson Christian Grant explains: “It’s a match made in heaven. VW recently became infamous for cheating emissions tests, and it turns out the people who drive their cars aren’t averse to a bit of cheating themselves – it’s all very fitting. VW is no longer the car of the people, but the car of the adulterer!”

Of the top 5 most popular makes, the most popular models were the Volkswagen Scirocco, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and Jaguar XKR for the men, while women preferred the VW Golf GTE, Audi Q4, BMW 1 Series, Ford Ka and Mini Cooper.

The research also found that nearly two thirds of men (61%) felt that having a luxurious car would impress their date, while only 25% of women cared about their dates’ choice of car.

“A car is a statement; your wealth, job status, intelligence – you can gauge a lot about a person just by the car that they drive, so it’s hardly surprising to see that a lot of our members are driving expensive German makes,” says Grant.

The least popular car makes for affair-seeking men were Skoda, Nissan and Fiat, with 0.5%, 0.8% and 1.4% of the vote respectively. Meanwhile, Hyundai, Skoda and Toyota were the least popular cars for women, with 0.4%, 0.9% and 1.6 % of the vote.

The Skoda Fabia, Nissan Micra, Fiat Panda, Seat Mii and Kia Soul were the least popular makes for the men, while the Hyundai i10, Skoda Fabia, Toyota Prius, Smart fortwo and Vauxhall Astra were the least popular makes for women.

“We can’t all drive nice cars,” says Grant. “But on the plus side, if you do find yourself driving a Skoda, at least your partner won’t suspect you of cheating.”
The results are as follows:
Most Popular Cars Driven by Affair-Seeking Men

1. VW 22.22%

2. Mercedes 18.71%

3. Audi 14.33%

4. BMW 10.81%

5. Jaguar 6.2%

 

Most Popular Cars Driven by Affair-Seeking Women

1. VW 18.15%

2. Audi 14.46%

3. BMW 12.17%

4. Ford 9.3%

5. Mini 5.1%

 

Least Popular Cars Driven by Affair-Seeking Men

1. Skoda 0.5%

2. Nissan 0.8%

3. Fiat 1.4%

4. Seat 1.8%

5. Kia 2.2%

 

Least Popular Cars Driven by Affair-Seeking Women

An Open Relationship: Saving Marriages, One Couple At a Time

Is your marriage a train-wreck? The best way to save it could be by entering into an open relationship, new research has claimed. More than 1500 people took part in a poll, with 5% noting that they have entered an open relationship after having experienced struggles in their current marriage.

Of that 5%, a little over half (52%) noted “a significant” improvement in their marriage after making the decision to enter an open relationship, with 44% specifying that they were more satisfied in the bedroom.

“It’s a difficult concept to come to terms with,” explained Christian Grant from extra-marital dating website IllicitEncounters.com.

“Entering an open relationship might seem scary to some, as it completely undermines everything we’re taught about love and marriage, but more and more people are warming to the idea.”

The results shed some light on how the modern relationship is changing, with more people trying a different approach to turn around their struggling love lives.

“People in an unhappy relationship or marriage are often too scared to speak up and act to save what’s left,” says Grant.

“The UK has one of the highest divorce rates on the continent*, so something’s clearly going terribly wrong somewhere, and not enough is being done to fix it.”

However, Grant explains that the recent research indicates that the paradigm is finally starting to shift.

“With many divorces proving to be far too messy financially, amongst other things, more and more people are seeing open relationships as an excellent solution to their problems. Don’t knock it before you try it.”

Kerry, who has been using IllicitEncounters.com for 3 years, said: “I initially intended to use the site to have an affair, but I opened up to my husband and we’ve been in an open relationship ever since.

I’ll admit that it was a little weird at first, but my husband and I found ourselves happier than we’d been in a long time. Now, we’re both on the site regularly to look for other partners. It’s not as common as a ‘normal’ relationship, sure, but who’s to say what’s normal and what constitutes happiness anyway?”

Red Tuesday: Tuesday Before V-Day Is the Most Popular Day of the Year to Dump Someone!

Make sure to hold on to the receipts for those expensive Valentine’s Day gifts because on 9th February, there’s a good chance you’re getting dumped. That’s according to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, who have dubbed 9th February as Red Tuesday, the top dumping day of the year.

IllicitEncounters.com surveyed over 2000 of their members, with 27% admitting to have broken up with someone in the week leading up to Valentine’s Day. Why so close to Valentine’s Day? Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains:

“You’re on the cusp of what is generally considered to be one of the most romantic and important days for any relationship, and then you realise that you don’t love your partner as much as they love you, so to save yourself the embarrassment or shame of having to declare your love to someone you don’t really care for, what do you do? You take the lesser of two evils and dump them.”

IllicitEncounters.com’s survey also found the ways in which people have previously dumped their partners on Red Tuesday, with the majority (26%) choosing to break the news by text. 24% braved a face-to-face conversation with their now ex-partner, with 22% dumping their partner by phone.

Interestingly, the number of people who dumped their partner via instant messaging services such as WhatsApp, and social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, increased from last year, with 13% choosing to break up over Facebook, 10% over WhatsApp, and 7% breaking the news to their partner in a lowly 140 characters on Twitter. Ouch.

Grant explains: It’s not an easy thing to do [breaking up with someone] especially given the timing, so many people opt for the easiest option available, which is evidently anything that avoids face-to-face contact.”

Interestingly, IllicitEncounters.com has reported a record number of members signing up to the site in the lead up to Valentine’s Day.

“It’s not the first time that this has happened,” explains Grant. “For the thousands of people who break up, there are many who choose not to do so. Whether that’s out of fear, or whether they’ve already paid out on an expensive weekend away in Paris, they simply grit and bear it… but that never lasts for too long.

No one is going to sit around do nothing if they’re in an unhappy relationship, and sites like IllicitEncounters.com are evidently a popular alternative for those who don’t dump their partner this Red Tuesday.”

More Women Will Have An Affair In 2016 Than Ever Before, And Here’s Why…

Fellas, lock up your wives, the average woman is more likely to have an affair in 2016 than ever before, so claims IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

IllicitEncounters.com studied various data trends, including the increase in their female membership year-on-year since the site’s inception in 2003, and the activity of their female members, to predict that women are up to 20% more likely to have an affair this year compared to 10 years ago, and up to 33% compared to 20 years ago.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, explains: “There are several reasons for this predicted upward trend, not least of which is the advancements in the way we communicate. Sites like IllicitEncounters.com could not and did not exist 20 years ago, but now we live in a world where you’re only ever a few clicks of a mouse away from finding a potential lover. Meeting someone, and hiding your tracks, has never been easier.”

In fact, January saw IllicitEncounters.com receive almost double the amount of female sign-ups on a daily basis compared to the same time period in 2015. But, although instant messaging services and various social media platforms have undoubtedly aided affair-seekers, the leap in technology is not the sole catalyst behind this predicted increase in female adulterers, as Grant explains.

“Having an affair is being seen as less of a cardinal sin and more as a daily occurrence – a fact of life. You take one look at the news and you see François Hollande, President of France, cheat, then it’s Kristen Stewart, darling of Hollywood, or John Terry, once England captain for many years – it’s an absolutely endless list, and it undoubtedly has a big influence on the behaviour of the public. We always look to others to justify our own actions – it’s basic human nature – so to see so many celebrities have affairs, people, or in this instance, women, begin to think, ‘yeah, why not, it’s perfectly normal.'”

The influence of culture and society doesn’t stop there, however, with Grant adding: “The modern day affair is very much a product of its time. The 21st century woman, or at least the stereotypical image of her, is independent, one who is far less reliant on her husband than she has ever been.

With women slowly but surely edging closer to financial equilibrium, the potential threat of divorce, and the lack of financial security that comes with it, no longer looms large – with women earning more on average than ever before, they’re less dependent on their partner to provide for them; in other words, there’s less risk attached to their affair, assuming their husbands find out of course, so they’re invariably more likely to cheat.”

Sophie, 39, is a frequent user of IllicitEncounters.com, and she explains: “I think that women are encouraged to feel more empowered in this day and age. Add to the fact that women are working longer hours, developing more stress, and require more stress-relief…

About 10 years ago, women would go to work, pick up the kids, go home, cook dinners – that’s all changed. There are more child care options than ever before with nannies and au pairs, and the concept of being a dad has changed too –  now, dads spend more time with their kids in order to allow their wives to have more time on their own, without realizing what they might be up to.”
