Men With Big Feet Are More Likely to Cheat!

  • Men with a shoe size of 10 or over are at least twice as likely to cheat on their partner, compared to those with a shoe size of less than 10
  • The most common shoe size for adulterous men was 10.5
  • Many famous celebrity cheats, including Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods, sport a shoe size of 10 or over
  • There was no correlation to be found between adultery and shoe size when it came to women
  • The research was conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

Having big feet means you have a large c… chance of having an affair. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed over 1,500 of their male members and found a positive correlation between a man’s shoe size and their likelihood of having an affair.

Men with a shoe size of 10 or over are at least twice as likely to have an affair than those with a shoe size of less than 10, while the most faithful men sport feet between the sizes of 7 and 9. The most common shoe size for adulterous men was 10.5.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, said:

“While many would argue that there’s more to having an affair than one’s foot size, the data doesn’t lie. Men who sport a shoe size of 10 and over account for 85% of all men on the site, with the remaining 15% having a shoe size of 9 and under.

It looks like women whose husbands have small feet can sleep relatively comfortably at night, while those with husbands who have a big pair of loafers should perhaps be more mindful.”

The results of the study also correlate with various celebrity cheats, with Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, Hugh Grant and Gavin Rossdale all sporting a shoe size of 10 and over.

Interestingly, the same could not be said of women. Of the 1,000 women who were surveyed, there was no correlation to be found between big feet and adultery, though the most common shoe size was 6.5 (13%).

“While women across the country have something to potentially stress over, the nation’s husbands have the privilege of not having any feet related paranoia,” said Grant.

Will Your Marriage Survive Euro 2016? Survey says: Probably not, no.​

  • IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, saw 72% of all female signups between Friday and Sunday cite their husbands’ obsession with the football as their main reason for wanting to cheat
  • There was a 61% rise in site usage compared to an average, out of season weekend, peaking at two hours before and two hours after the start and conclusion of Saturday’s match between England and Russia
  • 35% of the weekend’s female signups admitted to wanting an affair because their partner would rather watch football than have sex
  • 20% said that football provides them a good opportunity to cheat
  • A further 25% said that their partner becomes “unreasonable” when watching football

Thousands of ‘football widows’ have taken to the internet in search of an affair in the wake of the European Championships.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading website for married people, has surveyed their new female signups between Friday 10th and Sunday 12th June, with almost three quarters (72%) citing the European Championships, or rather their husbands’ obsession with it, as their main reason for joining.

The site also reported a 61% rise in site usage compared to an average, out of season weekend, which, rather unsurprisingly, peaked between two hours before and two hours after the start and conclusion of Saturday’s match between England and Russia.

Christian Grant, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, commented:

“A mid-summer weekend in June is generally an out of season period for us, so these results should provide a wakeup call of sorts to the millions of football fans across the UK.

With three games a day for several days, and the involvement of all our home nations with the exception of Scotland, we can be quietly confident these numbers are going to maintain this level over the next few weeks or so.”

Of the women who signed up between Friday and Sunday, 35% claimed they had done so because their partner chose football over sex.

A further 25% claimed that their partner becomes “unreasonable” during football, while 20% said that they used the European Championships as the perfect distraction to sign up to the site.

Grant added:

“With nine months of domestic football having only just come to its conclusion, another month of constant neglect, with other sporting events such as Wimbledon and the Olympics following shortly after, is proving to be the final straw for thousands of women.”

Rosie, 38, said:

“When the football is on, my name is only mentioned because of the occasional request for beer and snacks, or if my husband has used me as a punchline to a joke so he can impress his mates. Other than that, I might as well be invisible.”

Beer goggles do exist – and you are more likely to have sex on date if you have been boozing, according to a new survey.

* Three-quarters of women said booze had made a man they had not previously fancied seem more attractive;
* 84% of men said alcohol had changed their first impressions of a female date and made them keener to take things further;
* The vast majority of women (86%) said they were more likely to sleep with a man on a date if alcohol was involved;
* 92% of men said booze made sex more likely on a date;
* The results from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people

Three-quarters of women (74%) said that alcohol had made a man they had not previously fancied on a date seem more attractive.

And 84% of men said a few drinks had changed unfavourable first impressions of a female date and made them keener to take things further.

The vast majority of women (86%) said they were more likely to sleep with a man on a date if alcohol was involved.

Nine out of ten men (92%) said booze made sex more likely on a date.

The results come from a new survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, the leading dating website for married people.

The dictionary definition of beer boggles is the “phenomenon in which one’s consumption of alcohol makes physically unattractive persons appear beautiful.”

The survey found that 54% of women had ended up having sex with a man while wearing beer goggles.

In 84% of cases, the women had not seen the man for a further date.

Two-thirds of men (64%) had had beer goggle sex – and most (76%) had not seen the woman for a second date.

Despite these findings, 68% of women and 82% of men like to drink alcohol on a first date.
The main reason both sexes hit the booze is that it ‘helps to break the ice’ – chosen by 72% of women and 87% of men.

Most men (77%) and the majority of women (64%) said they felt more confident after a drink.

The most popular time to wear beer goggles is when you are student.

More than half of men (54%) and 48% of women said they had had beer goggle sex when they were at college.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:

“Dating is a stressful business – you are meeting a new person and need to make a good impression fast.

It’s no wonder that both sexes finding that drinking alcohol makes the whole process a lot easier.

As the booze flows, inevitably the beer goggles come on and dates that might have finished with a quick peck on the cheek end up going far further.

That is the experience of millions of people who are dating online including lots of members of IllicitEncounters.com – you end up kissing a few ugly ducklings before meeting your swan.

Beer goggle sex may not lead to true love most of the time, but it can often be a lot of fun.”

llicitEncounters.com has more than a million members in the UK.

Most of its male members are white collar professionals earning an average of £54,000 a year.

Women on the site cheat more than men – enjoying three clandestine dates a month, compared to men’s two.

National Adultery Awards 2016 – And the Winners Are…

  • Scott Disick has been crowned Cheater of the Year for 2015 at the National Adultery Awards, a.k.a. The Cheaties
  • Cristiano Ronaldo took the crown of Sports ‘Player’ of the Year 
  • Channing Tatum and Michelle Keegan were voted as the two celebrities that we’d most likely cheat on our partner’s for
  • Sally Bercow won the “What Were They Thinking?” award
  • Bill Clinton scooped both the National Adultery Awards Fellowship Award and the Most Iconic Affair In History thanks to his (alleged) 36 affairs, most famously with Monica Lewinsky
  • The National Adultery Awards are hosted and organised by the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com

Scott Disick, Michelle Keegan, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sally Bercow are just some of the famous faces to be awarded at the National Adultery Awards 2016, a.k.a. The Cheaties.

Taking place in an invitation-only event in London on Sunday 29th May, the event was organized and hosted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

Scott Disick took home the evening’s most prestigious award, the 2015 Cheater of the Year, for his repeated acts of infidelity, betraying his now ex-girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian.

He fought off stiff competition from Gwen Stefani’s ex, Gavin Rossdale, and actor Ben Affleck, who both had an affair with their childrens’ nanny, while Sally Bercow, who cheated on husband John Bercow with his cousin, and rock star Ozzy Osbourne completed the list of nominees for the main award.

“This was tough, but the right person won in the end,” said IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“Cheating on what many would consider to be a beautiful woman, and to do it several times too, is brave… or stupid, I can’t quite tell.

What’s more, the rumours say that he cheated on her with her sibling Kendall Jenner, among others. Low blow, Scott.

It was also interesting to see that the main category was dominated by men, with just one woman, Sally Bercow, making the list of nominees. Whether that says something about the cheating habits of men and women, I don’t know, but it’s an interesting thought.”

Meanwhile, Michelle Keegan took home the We ALL Would award, for the woman all married men (and gay women) would cheat on their partner’s for.

The honour of being the man that all married women (and gay men) would cheat for went to, unsurprisingly, Channing Tatum.
In the sports category, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Sports ‘Player’ of the Year after having alleged affairs with Andress Urach, Daniella Chavez and Badr Hari.

Stephanie Drew and Ali Bear of Ex On The Beach were crowned as the best reality TV cheaters, while the best TV affair was given to Holly Cunningham and Robbie Roscoe of Hollyoaks.

Sally Bercow, who cheated on her husband with his own cousin, romped to victory in the “What Were they Thinking?” category, while the NAA Fellowship Award was given to Bill Clinton, who has allegedly had affairs with 36 different women.

Speaking of Clinton, he was, in fact, a double award-winner, as he also claimed the Most Iconic Affair In History thanks to his notorious relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

Grant added:

“Unfortunately, and perhaps rather understandably, the winners could not be there in person to collect their awards, but rest assured that these have since been sent to them. We hope that they take a pride of place in the winners’ homes.”

The full list of categories, winners and nominees are as follows:

New bawls please! Sex is like tennis – women are far noisier than men, according to a new survey


* 88% of women said they were louder than their partners during love-making;
* 64% of men said their women were noisier, too;
* Most couples say sex is much better when it is noisy;
* Married men and women are quieter when having sex with their spouse than they are with their lover;
* Findings come from a new poll of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people

Women are far noisier than men when they are having sex, according to a new survey.

A whopping 88% of women admitted that they were louder than their partners during love-making, and 64% of men polled also confirmed that their female lovers drowned them out when they were getting intimate.

The findings were revealed in a poll of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.
With Wimbledon just weeks away, the survey found that sex is like tennis – with women making all the noise.

Making a racket in the sack adds to the fun for most couples: seven out of ten men (71%) said they liked it when their partner made noise during sex. Almost as many women (62%) said they enjoyed it when their men audibly expressed pleasure during sex.

The survey found that 59% of men and 57% of women had been overheard having sex because they were making so much noise.
A further 65% of men and 63% of women had heard other couples during love-making.

Married men and women who are unfaithful are quieter when making love to their spouse than they are with their lover.

Six out of ten women (62%) and 72% of men said they did make more noise in bed when they were cheating.

Scientists say there is no reason why women should be noisier than men – either in bed or on the tennis court.

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said:

“Noisy sex tends to be an individual thing. Some people scream the house down at a concert, others watch without making a sound; it doesn’t mean they’re not enjoying it as much!

One theory might be that since women fake it more often than men do, perhaps they feel obliged to provide ‘evidence’ that they’re enjoying themselves?

It is interesting that people having affairs make more noise when having sex with their lovers than they do with their married partners. All of IllicitEncounters.com’s evidence suggests that this is because the sex is more exciting when you’re having an affair.

Most people who stay in a marriage while cheating on their partner say they end up straying because their sex life at home has become staid and boring.”

Football Widows Join Up to Extra-Marital Dating Site on Cup Final Day!

wembley3get_2560467k.jpg (858×536)

  • More than 1,000 women joined married dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, on FA Cup Final day
  • 80% of those women joined between 2 hours before kick-off and 30 minutes after the final whistle
  • Over 20% of all female registrations on Saturday originated from Manchester and Greater Manchester areas
  • With only 25.8%* of women following football, more and more are finding themselves second best to football every week

For thousands of ‘football widows,’ Saturday’s FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace was the final straw, with thousands signing up to the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com.

There was a largely irregular spike of female registrations throughout Saturday, which peaked ten minutes into kick-off, and maintained its momentum until later in the evening.

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesman, Christian Grant, said:

“At that time on a Saturday afternoon, we very rarely see numbers on this sort of a scale. After nine months of neglect, Saturday’s cup final proved to be the final straw for many women, and with a summer of football still to come, it wouldn’t surprise me to see something like this happen again.”

The site saw over 1,000 female registrations on Saturday alone, with 80% of those signing up between 3:30 (2 hours before kick-off) and 8:30pm – half an hour after the game’s conclusion.

Over 20% of those registrations were from women situated in the city of Manchester and surrounding regions in Greater Manchester, including Bolton (3%), Bury (2.2%) and Stockport (4.8%).

But while only 90,000 football fans occupied the seats of Wembley stadium, many more neutral supporters watched the game with friends, choosing to ignore their significant other.

“It’s not the first time this has happened,” said Grant.

“In every relationship, compromise is needed. While attending a football match once, twice, maybe even three times a week, can be tolerated, watching every match, especially those that don’t directly involve your team, need to be sacrificed, with more time spent with the wife and kids instead.

If not, it’ll only be a matter of time before women find something, or rather, someone, else.”

According to recent studies*, only 25.8% of women follow the sport, leaving a huge proportion of them stranded at home while their husbands’ attend matches around the country most weeks of the year.

Amanda was one of those who registered to the site on Saturday, stating:

“My husband’s been a season ticket holder at Manchester United for several years. While I don’t want him to not have a hobby, it’s reached the stage where I’m second best to a football club week in, week out.”

Butland’s Hot, Rooney’s Not – England’s Sexiest Footballers Revealed!

ieengland

  • Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland has been voted England’s sexiest footballer, closely followed by Liverpool’s Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson
  • On the other hand, Wayne Rooney was the least sexiest footballer, receiving just 0.3% of the vote, and the ‘I Don’t Care How Rich You Are, It’s Still A No’ award
  • James Milner won the Gazza’s Tears Award for the footballer most likely to cry after sex
  • 21-year-old John Stones won the You Know You Shouldn’t, But You Probably Would award
  • Chris Smalling won the Least Likely to Last the 90 Minutes award

England’s lions are raring to disappoint go in this summer’s European Championships, and while sports journalists up and down the country are ready to analyse, criticise and eulogise their performances, there are more important questions that are yet to be answered: who is England’s sexiest footballer?

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed almost 2,000 of their female members, who voted Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland as England’s sexiest footballer with 13% of the vote.

He was closely followed by Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Eric Dier (11%), Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana (10%), and his fellow teammate and Liverpool captain, Jordan Henderson (8%).

But while it was relatively good news for England’s midfield, their strikers, who are used to scoring on the pitch, have had their ability to do the same off of it seriously questioned, with Golden Boot winner Harry Kane, Premier League winner Jamie Vardy and England captain Wayne Rooney occupying three of the bottom five positions, with 1.3%, 0.8% and 0.3% of the vote respectively.

While many are hopeful that this could finally be England’s year on the pitch, the general consensus was that this year’s crop was relatively underwhelming compared to years gone by, when it comes to sex appeal that is.

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains:

“No Becks, no Gerrard, no Ashley Cole – there are many fan favourites who won’t be pulling on that England top again, and their replacements, although talented, have left a lot to be desired.”

There were several special awards given, too.

Wayne Rooney won the not so coveted ‘I Don’t Care How Rich You Are, It’s Still A No’ award, finishing rock bottom (although, in truth, it’s an award that could be shared by many).

Given the relatively young average age of this England squad, the special You Know you Shouldn’t, but you Probably Would award was handed to Everton defender John Stones (21), who edged out the PFA Young Player of the Year, Dele Alli (20), and fellow Everton midfielder, Ross Barkley (22).

The Least Likely to Last the 90 Minutes award was given to Manchester United defender Chris Smalling for, er, yeah, while Liverpool midfielder James Milner won the Gazza’s Tears award for the player most likely to cry after sex.

And, while technically retired from international duty, John Terry won the Lifetime Achievement award due to his track record of playing away.

The overall sexiest England XI (4231 formation) is as follows:

Goalkeeper:

Jack Butland – 13% of the vote – 1st place overall

Defence:

Kyle Walker – 2.5% – 9th

John Stones – 4% – 6th

Gary Cahill – 1.9% – 10th

Ryan Bertrand – 1.1% – 11th

Midfield:

Eric Dier – 11% – 2nd

Jordan Henderson – 8% – 4th

Adam Lallana – 10% – 3rd

Dele Alli – 3.4% – 7th

Ross Barkley – 2.8% – 8th

Striker:

Andy Carroll – 6.5% – 5th

Love at first spy – 64% of us have tracked our first love on social media to see who they are with now, according to a new survey

facebook

* A quarter of us are STILL with our first love;
* 75% of people experience first love by the time they are 21;
* 41% of people enjoy the best sex of their lives with their first love;
* One in six of us have slept again with our first love after reconnecting with them online post-break up;
* Results are from a survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people

Most people have looked up their first love on social media to check out who they are dating, according to a new survey.

It found that 64% of people had searched for pictures and updates on the life of the person who first captured their heart on websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

More than a quarter of those surveyed have got back in touch with their first love after looking them up online.

And around one in six people (15%) have slept with their ex after reconnecting online, and a further 21% have thought about having sex with them.

The results were revealed in a survey of 1,000 people by IllicitEncounters.com – Britain’s leading dating website for married people.

The poll found that love truly is all around: 99% of us have fallen in love at least once in our lives by the age of 40.

For most people (55%), this happens between the ages of 15-18, a fifth (20%) fall in love between 19-21 and 8% between 22-25.

The first serious relationship lasts between one and five years for 40% of people.
A quarter of respondents (25%) are still dating their first love now, and a further 24% are still in touch even though they are no longer together.

Less than half of people (41%) said they enjoyed the best sex of their lives with their first love.

Roughly the same number (42%) still talk about their first love with their current partner.
Interestingly, this was one of the answers where there was the biggest difference in the responses of men and women.

Whereas 45% of women talk about their first love with their current partner, just 38% of men do the same.

Half of women said they had been contacted by their ex and had ignored them – whereas this has happened to just 28% of men.

Just over a quarter of us (28%) still reminisce fondly about our first love – men (31%) slightly more than women (27%).

IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “Anyone’s first love will have a profound effect on their lives.

With so many of us on social media, it is far easier to secretly track how they are getting on and it is not surprising that most people have done this.

The survey shows clearly that women are far keener than men to talk about their experiences with previous lovers.

I think this is because they want to make sure they don’t repeat previous mistakes and are generally happier talking about their feelings.

Men are much more likely to contact a former lover directly. They also reminisce more fondly about their ex-lovers than women.

I think we can safely say that these two findings are connected: men are much keener on having sex again with their first love than women who are more prepared to move on with their lives.”

IllicitEncounters.com has more than one million members in the UK.

We All Know What Counts As Cheating, but Here’s What Doesn’t…​

Woman-taking-off-wedding--007

  • Flirting, a drunken kiss and attending a strip club are just some of the things that DON’T count as cheating
  • Nearly two thirds of men and over half of women would forgive their partner if they caught them sending intimate messages to someone else
  • However, 89% of men and 93% of women would end their relationship if they caught their partner getting intimate with someone else
  • The results come from a survey of over 2,500 members from IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people

There are no hard and fast rules as to what constitutes cheating. Or at least there weren’t.IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, have written the rule-book on cheating, compiled from suggestions and responses of over 2,500 of their members.

Cheating includes:

  • Sexting
  • Sexual intercourse
  • Other sexual activities (e.g. oral sex)
  • Dating someone outside of your relationship
  • All of the above, even if the relationship isn’t ‘official’

Cheating doesn’t include:

  •  Flirting
  •  Romantic and intimate thoughts about someone other than your partner
  •  Kissing someone while drunk
  •  Holding hands with someone other than your partner
  •  Denying being married / in a relationship
  •  Sleeping in the same bed with a friend of the opposite gender
  •  Dancing with a member of the opposite gender
  •  Going to a strip club
  •  Liking or commenting on someone else’s photo on social media
  •  Remaining close friends with an old flame

However, despite there being an overall consensus, the numbers did differ slightly depending on gender. 82% of men felt that flirting with someone didn’t constitute cheating, compared to 60% of women. And while 68% of men didn’t think that lying about their relationship status counted as being unfaithful, a little over half (53%) of women felt the same way.

83% of men felt that going to a strip club didn’t constitute cheating, and a surprisingly high number of women (77%) agreed. A high number of both men and women, 96% and 93% respectively, felt that liking or positing flattering comments on someone else’s photo on social media also didn’t cross any lines.

The survey also found that 65% of men and 54% of women would forgive their partner if they caught them sending intimate messages to another person, while 89% of men and 93% of women would break off their relationship if they caught their significant other getting intimate in any way with someone else.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains:

“While sex or sexting might be the obvious lines in the sand, it’s quite surprising to see the things that don’t fall under the bracket of cheating.

It seems that many people are willing to forgive a kiss, so long as it’s while under the influence of alcohol, while flirting and even going to a strip club don’t cross any lines.”

Emily, 37, explains:

“For me, cheating is all about the intent behind it. If the man I was seeing cared for someone more than me, and expressed those emotions by sexting or dating her behind my back, that’s not ok.

But a drunken kiss, the odd bit of flirting… look, we’ve all made mistakes, and context is important. Remaining monogamous is incredibly difficult – I don’t believe that all of us haven’t had an inappropriate thought about someone else at some stage, that doesn’t make us all adulterers.”

Prime Real Estate – the Building Blocks of Infidelity

House 12

  • There’s a positive correlation between the value of the property someone lives in, and the likelihood that they are a cheater or have been cheated on themselves
  • People marry for money, not love, which leads to an unhappy marriage once the charm of living a luxurious lifestyle wears off
  • The most adulterous town and borough in the UK are unsurprisingly two very affluent areas (High Wycombe and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea)
  • The research was conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

If you’re looking on enviously at your friend’s semi-detached house in a leafy suburb, here’s a silver lining for you: they’re more likely to be cheated on (or be a cheater themselves).

That’s according to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, who surveyed over 1500 of their members. From their research IllicitEncounters.com were able to conclude the following:

  • 4% own a property worth between £200,000 – £300,000
  • 11% own a property worth between £300,000 – £400,000
  • 11% own a property worth between £400,000 – £500,000
  • 13% own a property worth between £500,000 – £600,000
  • 18% own a property worth between £600,000 – £700,000
  • 20% own a property worth between £700,000 – £800,000
  • 10% own a property worth £800,000 or more
  • 13% don’t own a property

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Christian Grant, explains: ”Under the right set of circumstances, anyone can have an affair, and while an affair is wealth agnostic, there’s certainly some key links between a person’s disposable income, specifically the property they own, and the likelihood of them having an affair.”

One of those links is the proportion of people who marry for money and not love.

“While the terms ‘sugar daddy’ and ‘gold digger’ can come across as derogatory, when you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that there are some nuggets of truth in there,” says Grant. “The lure of money can be hard to resist, but there’s only so much that it can do,” he adds. “While the initial charm of living a comfortable or luxurious lifestyle wears off, you’re left with one person in the relationship, if not both, unhappy with the situation that they’ve found themselves in.”

It’s an idea that’s corroborated by the Infidelity Index. Released last month, the Infidelity Index revealed the most adulterous towns in the UK, with High Wycombe and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea topping the list for the most adulterous town in the UK and most adulterous London borough respectively.

“It was of little surprise to us to see that two very affluent areas topped the Infidelity Index this year,” adds Grant.

“Money can buy a lot of things, but love and happiness? Maybe not.”
