* Survey reveals CEOs and bankers are the two professions most likely to be caught having an affair
* 1 in 3 people who have been found out by their partner whilst playing away are CEOs
* The findings come from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site
It turns out, the bank accounts of the UK’s “fat cats” aren’t the only things experiencing explosive growth – their cheating antics are breaking records too.
Forget about loyalty and commitment, these high-rolling playboys are more interested in playing the field.
According to a survey of 2,000 men by married dating site IllicitEncounters.com, CEOs have been caught red-handed in sizzling affairs, sneaky rendezvous, and steamy encounters more than any other profession.
The poll first asked the men whether they’ve been caught cheating in the past, and then asked for them to disclose their profession to see if there was a link between the two.
1 in 3 people polled were CEOs who admitted to being found out by their partners in the past. From secret trysts in hidden hideaways to backseat escapades in their swanky rides, the wealthy elite can’t resist the temptation of the forbidden fruit.
21% of the men who responded in the survey were bankers, clearly morally bankrupt and not great at keeping their affairs secret.
On the other hand, bartenders were the least likely to be caught. Their charm behind the bar and their good excuse to have to stay out late is the perfect mix for being able to play away, but they’re also the very reasons they’re less likely to be found out by their partner.
Jordan from Coventry, a member of the married dating site, commented, “I may be slinging drinks behind the bar, but I’m also sipping on secrets. I’ve used the site for a few years now – my missus hasn’t caught me yet and I intend to keep it that way! You’ve just got to be discreet and smart about it. Bartenders are cleverer than people think, you know?”
Shaun, a CEO from London, said, “It’s like chasing risky investments for a quick thrill. I’ve been caught red-handed by my wife in the past, but has that stopped me from cheating now? Not a chance. CEOs are tough to control, and I’m the one calling the shots.”
Speaking to Jessica Leoni, IllicitEncounters.com’s sex and relationships expert, she said “Busy schedules and frequent business trips provide ample opportunities for affairs, plus there’s also a sense of entitlement that comes with positions of power, which makes some people believe they’re above the consequences of their actions.
An inflated self-importance can absolutely lead to carelessness and reckless behaviour, making it easier for their indiscretions to be uncovered.”
