Intelligent people are more likely to cheat, especially women

  • Intelligent people are more likely to cheat, new research has found
  • IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, studied the educational qualifications of 1,000 men and 1,000 women on its site, with 76% of women holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 65% of men.
  • 70% of men and 72% of women also worked in senior roles in, averaging £76,000 and £68,000 a year respectively.
  • Smarter and more successful individuals are much more attractive, meaning that they’re more likely to be desired by others; they have more opportunity to cheat
  • As for women, with so many being more financially stable than ever before, they’re less dependent on their significant other than they’ve ever been, so the risk of an affair is far less.

Bigger brains, bigger libido; intelligent people are more likely to have affairs, and women even more so.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, studied the educational qualifications of 1,000 men and 1,000 women on its site, with as many as 76% of women holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 65% of men.

Education, however, was not the standalone factor when it came to determining just how intelligent someone was.

The website also looked its members to find how many spoke more than one language (20% women, 9% men) and how many ran their own business (55% men, 48% women).

While that leaves plenty who don’t run their own business, 70% of men and 72% of women worked in senior roles in their respective professions, averaging £76,000 and £68,000 a year respectively.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains the link between a big brain and a bigger propensity to stray:

“Smarter people are immediately more attractive,” he explains.

“A big brain is a turn on for so many, and when you accompany that with a big salary, the allure of success means that smarter people find themselves in situations where the opportunity for temptation is greater than that of their less intelligent and less successful counterparts.”

“Intelligent, successful people also have the disposable income to be able to afford a little bit on the side, while their important job affords them the perfect excuse of ‘working late’ so they can sneak out for a secret rendezvous.

“They’re also natural problem solvers, better negotiators, and tend to take calculated risks, so, if their marriage hits the rocks, and they cannot – or do not – want to upset the applecart at home, they’ve got no problem in exploring their only other option: an affair.”

“As for the rise in women cheating, you can thank the increase in the amount of women choosing to focus on their careers, with children coming into the equation later in life, if at all.

“With more financial stability, they’re less dependent on their significant other than they’ve ever been, so the risk of an affair becomes far less.”

50 Shades Inspires Thousands of Women to Cheat in Order to Save Their Rubbish Sex Lives

 

  • The release of 50 Shades Darker is inspiring thousands of women to cheat, reports IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people
  • The site has seen a 33% week-on-week increase in the amount of women signing up to the site (and 9% for men, too)
  • 85% of 150 women said that the film highlighted just how miserable their sex lives are, so they’re seeking an affair as a result
  • Many new members have adopted appropriately themed usernames, such as ’50 Shades of Grey Hair’ and ‘Balls of Steele’

While 50 Shades Darker is set to delight (or despair) audiences around the world, the film’s full impact has extended far beyond the cinema screen.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has seen married women across the country flock to the site in search of an affair.

Specifically, there’s been as much as a 33% increase week-on-week in the amount of women signing up to the site from Monday 6th to Monday 13th February. The site also experienced its single busiest day of the month so far on Saturday 11th, a day after the film’s release in the UK.

Not to be forgotten, Christian Grey wannabes also went in search of a steamy affair, albeit far fewer, with a 9% week-on-week increase.

And it didn’t stop there, with many new users adopting 50 Shades inspired usernames, from the obvious Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, to the slightly more amusing ’50 Shades of Grey Hair’ and the even more salacious ‘Balls of Steele’, though we’re not sure quite how that one works.

But why? In a word, sex.

The site surveyed 150 women who signed up in the past week, with the significant majority (85%) claiming that the film only served to highlight how miserable their sex lives are, with many feeling that their husband is simply not adventurous enough in the bedroom anymore.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“Whether you’re 19 or 90, sex is a huge part of any healthy relationship. Unfortunately, it can often dwindle with age, and many people accept it as part of the norm.

“Keeping things interesting and fresh can be difficult, but evidently, many women are realising that it doesn’t have to be.

“If their husband is no longer interested in being intimate, there is an alternative for them, they have an affair with someone who is.”

Apple Tree Yard Inspiring Thousands to Have a Steamy Affair

  • The debut of Apple Tree Yard has inspired thousands to have an affair, new research has revealed
  • llicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, has seen a 42% week-on-week increase in the amount of people signing up to the site after the show’s debut
  • The effects of the TV show were immediate, as the site’s busiest point on the weekend of 21st/22nd was directly after the first episode concluded at 10:00pm on Sunday 22nd
  • Many signed up with usernames inspired by the show and its actors/characters, such as ‘A Costley Affair’ and ‘Adam’s Apple’
  • 82% of users who visited the site on the day of the show’s debut were new users, compared to just 55% on the previous Sunday

There are certain pieces of entertainment that transcend television and inspire us in real life. One such show, Apple Tree Yard, has done just that, with many flocking to have an affair as a result.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has seen a 42% week-on-week increase in the amount of people signing up to the site – an increase that it attributes to the debut of Apple Tree Yard.

In fact, the effects of the TV show were immediate, as 10:00pm on Sunday 22nd, right after the first episode finished airing, was the site’s busiest point on the weekend, with 13% more visitors than at any other point during that weekend.

New members were clearly motivated by the show, with many adopting usernames inspired by its characters and actors; the most notable were ‘A Costley Affair’, ‘Adam’s Apple’ and ‘Sussanahversary’, to the slightly more audacious ‘Mark’s Boner’.

And of everyone who visited the site on Sunday 22nd, 82% were new users, compared to 55% to the previous Sunday. There was a similar pattern this Monday 23rd and Tuesday 24th, with 70% of all visitors being new users, compared to 38% in the same two days last week.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, expands on the significant impact the BBC drama has had:

“We’ve always been inspired and empowered by television and film. Documentaries like Planet Earth move us to protect the environment, while fiction inspires us to emulate the James Bond’s of the world.

“Apple Tree Yard is no different, mobilising thousands of men and women across the country to do something about the loveless and sexless marriage that they’ve found themselves trapped in; seeing a raunchy affair take place on-screen has clearly reminded them of the spark that, for one reason or another, is sorely missing from their mundane relationship, and now they’re doing whatever they can to recapture it.”

Revealed: The Most Popular Lie Cheating Wives Will Tell Their Husband this Christmas…

Image result for wife lie

  • 36% of married women are using ‘Christmas shopping’ as an excuse for a festive fling this Christmas
  • Christmas shopping is the perfect cover, affording the adulterer all the time and freedom they need for a salacious rendezvous
  • The tried and true excuses of ‘going to the gym,’ ‘meeting with girlfriends’ or even ‘working overtime’ weren’t as popular as expected, receiving just 9%, 6% and 5% of the vote respectively.
  • The results come as a result of a survey of over 500 women on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

A seemingly innocent round of Christmas shopping could be hiding something much more sinister. That’s according to new research from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, who surveyed over 500 women on their site.

36% of respondents said that they’d used Christmas shopping as an excuse to slip out and meet their extramarital lover.

The tried and true excuses of ‘going to the gym,’ ‘meeting with girlfriends’ or even ‘working overtime’ weren’t as popular as expected, receiving just 9%, 6% and 5% of the vote respectively.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for the site, explains why married women are shopping for something a little different this Christmas:

“No matter who you are or where you’re from, Christmas shopping is the perfect cover for an undercover rendezvous.

“A combination of holiday days, children off of school and some generally poor weather makes the classic excuses a little less believable – not so Christmas shopping.

“To do an extensive round of ‘shopping’, you’ll need plenty of time of course.

“You also might want to travel a little further beyond your local parade of shops. And, if you don’t get everything you wanted the first time around, you can go again another day and do it all over again.

“As long as you don’t return home completely empty handed from your ‘shop’, you’re likely to get away with it every single time.

“The only thing worth keeping in mind is any inexplicable transactions that may appear on your bank statement – visits to hotels or payments for a meal for two people are best avoided if possible; cash is your friend.”

Watch Out! Friday 18th Is ‘Unfaithful Friday’…

Image result for unfaithful man

  • Friday 18th is Unfaithful Friday, the most popular day for an adulterer to see his mistress before the year ends
  • That means it’s the single biggest day a married woman is most likely to get cheated on this winter
  • The week of Unfaithful Friday see’s 30% more activity on married-dating website IllicitEncounters.com than any other week in November and December
  • In a survey of over 300 members on the site who’ve already found themselves a mistress, a whopping 72% sneak away on Unfaithful Friday for one final rendezvous before the year’s end
  • 20% spend the entire weekend with their mistress, with the most popular destinations being the Alps (18%), the Cotswold’s (15%) and Central London (13%)

Is your husband naughty or nice? As it turns out, it’s probably naughty.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, can reveal that an adulterer is more likely to spend time with his mistress on Friday 18th November than any other day in the final two months of the year.

‘Unfaithful Friday’ represents the single busiest day of the winter for adulterers, who sneak away with their mistress one last time before the Christmas festivities really kick in. By definition, that also makes it the single biggest day a married woman is most likely to get cheated on this winter.

The week of Unfaithful Friday see’s 30% more activity on married-dating website IllicitEncounters.com than any other week in November and December, as married men and women look for a last-minute romp before they return to their otherwise dull marriage.

In a survey of over 300 members on the site who’ve already found themselves a mistress, a whopping 72% sneak away on Unfaithful Friday for one final rendezvous before the year’s end, with 20% even spending the entire weekend with their alternate lover.

While 85% of adulterers regularly keep in contact with their mistress via text, phone or Face Time, the long-distance relationship simply isn’t enough to satiate their desires for weeks on end.

The most popular getaway destination for adulterers on the weekend of Unfaithful Friday is the Alps (18%), followed by Cotswold’s (15%), Central London (13%), Lake District (10%), Norway (8%), which is famous for the Northern Lights, and Austria (5%), which is well-known for its romantic Christmas markets.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“Unfaithful Friday, and the days that succeed it, represents the last chance an adulterer has to sneak away with their mistress.

“In the weeks to come, they’ll simply be overwhelmed with nativity plays, Christmas shopping, decorating and of course Christmas and New Year’s. Their kids will have time off from school, and their familial responsibilities will take priority.

“Needless to say, they want to take full advantage of the time they have together, so they often jet off to somewhere appropriately winter-y that’s equally as romantic and interesting. For those that do stay in the UK, country getaways to the Cotswold’s and Lake District prove popular, due to their location and general ease of access, or even a fancy hotel in Central London – one that’s close enough to get to, as well as being within close proximity of Winter Wonderland, but far enough away from home.

“So, ladies, if your husband has a ‘business trip’ on the weekend of the 18th, it might be wise to press him and question his motives.”

Most Popular Destinations on Unfaithful Friday

  2. Alps (18%)
  3. Cotswold’s (15%)

Your Husband Is Most Likely to Cheat with THIS Person…

Image result for nanny gwen

  • Almost half of married men (48%) have cheated with someone close to home
  • Nannies are the most popular choice, receiving 25% of the vote, followed by long-term friends (18%) and housekeepers (17%)
  • Shockingly, 5% even admitted to having slept with their best friend’s partner
  • Many high profile celebrities, such as Gavin Rossdale and Ben Affleck, have cheated with their children’s nanny in recent years
  • The results come from a survey of over 700 married men on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

You keep your friends close and your mistresses closer, a new survey suggests. In a survey of over 700 married men on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, almost half (48%) admitted to cheating with someone close to home.

Nannies took 1st place with 25% of the vote, beating off stiff competition in the form of long-term friends (18%), housekeepers (17%) sisters-in-law (12%), mothers-in-law (10%) and even their best friend’s partner (5%).

Explaining this trend is Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com:

“An affair can sometimes be much more convenient when it’s closer to home. While it might seem more difficult to cover up, given the risk of getting caught by your spouse, it’s also a lot easier to fall for someone you already know.

“It’s also a lot easier to organise, given that the nanny is likely to visit your house fairly often and probably lives nearby. And if your wife happens to catch her name flashing on your phone, she’s unlikely to be suspicious as to why you’re messaging her – she’s your children’s nanny, you have a valid reason to be talking to her.

“All you have to do is wait for the moment your wife inevitably slips out one evening to meet with friends and the rest takes care of itself; the nanny is the perfect Trojan horse.

“The archetypal nanny is also an upgrade on what I suppose many adulterers would consider to be last year’s model – their wife. Young and beautiful, the nanny could very well represent what these men’s wives once looked like in their youth, and having a younger version of their wife within touching distance is too great of a lure to resist.

“It’s for similar reasons – convenience and an already established relationship – that colleagues, long-term friends and even sisters-in-law appear to be popular choices.”

While the idea of an affair with the nanny might appear too much of a cliché or stereotype, it’s more common than you might think.

In fact, Ben Affleck and Gavin Rossdale are just two examples of people who’ve had long-term affairs with their children’s nannies – in the case of Gavin Rossdale, his nanny notoriously bears a striking resemblance to his ex, Gwen Stefani.

Ethan Hawke, formerly attached to Uma Thurman, and Robin Williams (allegedly) also had affairs with their children’s nannies, while Arnold Schwarzenegger infamously had a scandalous affair with his family’s housekeeper.

Full Results:

1. Nanny (25%)

2. Long-term friend (18%)

3. Housekeeper (17%)

4. Other (13%)

5. Sister-in-law (12%)

6. Mother-in-law (10%)

7. Best friend’s partner (5%)

Here’s Why You’re TWICE As Likely to be Cheated On This Winter… And the Clocks Are to Blame

Image result for daylight savings

  • Twice as many people are looking for an affair on extramarital dating site IllicitEncounters.com compared to last week, and it’s primarily thanks to daylight savings ending
  • There has been a significant increase in site activity, with twice as many messages sent compared to last week
  • 79% of a study of over 500 people on IllicitEncounters.com agreed that it was much easier to cheat went the clocks go back
  • 60% said that they had more time to cheat in the winter months after daylight savings ends, with no school holidays until Christmas
  • The clocks going back has led to dark afternoons and evenings, providing an adulterer the cover of darkness to conduct their salacious affairs

We may have gained an hour in sleep, but some of us might be about to lose a whole lot more as a result.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, has seen twice as many people sign up to the site week-on-week, and the clocks going back are to blame.

The site has also seen as many as twice as many messages sent compared to last week, with users spending more time on the site on average.

Christian Grant, the site’s spokesperson, explains why this is more than just happenstance:

“The clocks going back afford us more time in bed, but they allow for a lot more when it comes to adultery.

“Pitch black afternoons aren’t exactly joyful, especially for those who wait long hours at home for their partner to return from work, and it’s in these moments of upsetting reflection that someone may realise how fractured their marriage is.

“As a result, they decided to warm up their cold, dark afternoons, with a steamy affair being the perfect remedy.”

But it isn’t just the doom and gloom of long winter nights that increase our likelihood of cheating, it’s the security that they afford us.

“An affair won’t happen if it can’t,” says Grant.

“What I mean by that is, if someone has no alibi – no decent excuse to leave the house – and they’re fearful of getting caught, they won’t take that risk – the consequences are too great.”

However, in a study of over 500 people on IllicitEncounters.com, 79% agreed that it was easier to cheat during after the clocks go back.

“Avoiding being caught when you’re cheating is obviously the number one priority,” says Grant.

“The darker days lend to this quite well, as does the colder weather. You can wrap up well, covering your face with a ski mask if you really want to, and few would bat an eyelid; you’ve got a bit more anonymity to meet your secret lover, which is particularly important for those who cheat close to home and are more prone to spotting a familiar face.”

In the same survey, 60% said that they had more time to cheat during the winter months, too.

“With half-term ending, there isn’t an extended school holiday for parents until Christmas,” says Grant.

“Their lives are just a little less busy with their children at school during the day. When you team that with the aforementioned dark afternoons and the cover that the darkness provides, it’s a potent mix that’s ripe for affairs.”

The FRIGHTENING Stat That Will Keep Husbands On Their Toes This Halloween…

  • 6 out of 10 married women aged 21 – 30 have cheated on Halloween night, a new survey has revealed
  • However, as little as 18% of men in the same age range have done the same
  • Interestingly, only 3 out of 10 married women over the age of 30 have cheated on Halloween night….
  • …but it’s more likely for a bloke over the age of 30 to cheat on Oct 31st (28%)
  • The results come from a survey of over 850 people on llicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

For a lot of blokes, the scariest thought on Halloween night will be their wife cheating on them with a man dressed up as Frankenstein’s monster.

That’s because, according to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, 6 out of 10 married women (61%) aged 21 – 30 have cheated on Halloween night.

However, if you yourself are a faithful wife, then you’ve got a lot less to worry about, as only 18% of men in the same age range have cheated on Halloween night.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains:

“Halloween is a little different than your average night out. If a man spotted his wife leaving the house on any given night in an overly sexual outfit, it’s only natural for him to worry about the amount of male attention she’s likely to receive, and maybe he’ll comment or try and put a stop to it.

“On Halloween however, it’s almost a given that someone’s wife might go as a sexy nurse, or a sexy Satan, or a sexy witch, so the husband is bound to ask less questions.

“From the woman’s side of things, their seductive outfit of choice means they’re much more prone to attention from guys, something that, as all women who’ve been on a night out know, isn’t exactly on short supply anyway.

“So while they might not be going out with any bad intentions, as soon as you add alcohol into the equation, it becomes a potent mix that’s ripe for cheating, even if it’s ‘only’ a quick snog.”

Interestingly, the numbers differ as women get older, as only 3 out of 10 (31%) married women over the age of 30 have cheated on Halloween night.

For men on the other hand, it’s the opposite, as it’s more more likely that they’ll cheat on October 31st if they’re over the age of 30, with 28% doing so.

“While it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact reason for this, it’s not far-fetched to assume that your average 50-year-old woman isn’t going out dressed as a sexy witch like she used to when she was 25,” explains Grant.

“What she might be doing, however, is taking the kids out to trick-or-treat, which might leave her husband with enough time to sneak out the house, or even invite someone round if it’s convenient.”

One In Ten Married People Have Had An Affair With Their Boss, According to a Study​

  • 10% of married people have had a long-term affair (3 months or more) with their boss
  • 35% admitted to cheating (e.g. one-night stand, ‘sexting’ and kissing)
  • 9% have had sex with their boss at their place of work.
  • 3% would even consider leaving their spouse for their boss
  • The profession in which employee/employer relationships are most prevalent is doctors
  • The results come from a survey of over 900 people on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

More and more people are electing to have an affair with their boss, a new survey has revealed.

In a survey of over 900 members on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, as many as 10% of respondents admitted to having had an long-term affair (3 months or more) with their boss.

An even greater number (35%) admitted to cheating with their boss in the same time period. This includes a one-night stand, kiss, ‘sexting’ and oral sex.

Astonishingly, 3% said that they would consider leaving their current partner for their boss, having fallen head over heels for them, with 9% admitting to having had sex with their boss at their place of work.

The site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“It’s been proven that the UK’s workforce is working harder than ever before, spending more and more time at the office and working overtime.

“Unfortunately, that also means we’re more stressed, less happy and more prone to an affair as result. With more time spent at work, and therefore less at home, we see our colleagues and employers more than we do our own family.

“That means we’re more likely to forge positive relationships with those we work with, or for, and hence we choose to ‘de-stress’ by taking those relationships to the next level, even if we probably shouldn’t.”

In a recent, separate study commissioned by IllicitEncounters.com, it was revealed that teachers, lawyers and pilots were the most adulterous professions when it came to two colleagues having an affair; when it comes to affairs with bosses, it’s a fairly similar outlook, with doctors topping the leaderboard with 17%, followed closely by teachers (15%) and lawyers (13%).

“Needless to say, the more time you spend working with someone, the more likely you are to form a strong bond with them. It should come as no surprise then that doctors, teachers and lawyers are evidently rife with employer-employee relationships, given the time that those respective professions spend at work.”

Here’s How Many People Get Married… Even Though They’re Already Having An AFFAIR!

Image result for affair

  • 8% of married people admitted to getting married even though they were already having an affair; the majority (64%) were men
  • 55% said that they began to care deeply for both people so decided to pursue both relationships
  • 27% continued their affair for at least a year into the marriage, with 5% pursuing the affair for 5 years or more
  • The research raises several salient points, such as whether some people are born with a natural propensity to cheat
  • The survey of over 900 married people is brought to you by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Who can you trust? Not your spouse, possibly. New research from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity, surveyed over 900 of their members to find that 8% admitted to getting married even though they were already having an affair.

As for the reasons why the adulterers in question chose not to break off their affairs, over half (55%) claimed that they began to care deeply for both people and were met with indecision, so they decided to continue to pursue both relationships in order to have the best of both worlds.

23% were worried that their fellow adulterer could potentially tell their wife or husband-to-be of their affair, so they, too, chose not to break it off.

“While an affair that manifests itself when a marriage begins to grow stale is simply commonplace, an affair before a marriage has even begun is an entirely different beast,” explains the site’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“It raises some salient points; namely, are we meant to be monogamous, are some people born with a natural propensity to cheat, and how or why is there a lack of even a semblance of foresight for an individual who takes this sort of decision?”

The study also showed that men were bigger culprits than women, with 64% of those who pursued an affair into their marriage being men. 27% of respondents admitted to continuing the affair for at least a year into their marriage, with 5% maintaining their affair for 5 years or more.

But whether the adulterer elects to break off their affair or not, they’re more than likely the beneficiary of this sort of scenario.

“In instances like this, the cheater is in a win-win situation,” Grant explains.

“Even if they admit their infidelity and lose their husband/wife as a result, they’re still likely to have the ‘safety net’ of their fellow adulterer to go to.

Likewise, if they break off their affair, with their spouse totally oblivious that it ever took place to begin with, it is their fellow adulterer who is left hurt and alone, with the cheater still able to pursue a relationship with their spouse.”
