‘Cheating map’ Reveals Britain’s Top 140 Towns for extra-marital Affairs!

* High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire is Britain’s cheating capital with 2,119 men and women having affairs;
* Brentwood in Essex is the most faithful town – shattering the myth that Essex girls (and boys) are promiscuous;
* High proportion of wealthy commuter towns in the top 10;
* New interactive Infidelity Index lists the number of people having affairs in Britain’s 140 towns leading towns;
* Infidelity Index has been put together by IllicitEncounters.com – Britain’s leading dating website for married people

The most adulterous town in the UK is posh High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, according to a new table of the country’s 140 cheating hotspots.

The middle class commuter town has been officially named as the place where a husband or wife is most likely to have an affair.

Wealthy High Wycombe has 2,119 people cheating out of a population of 120,256.
The interactive Infidelity Index allows users to search a town to discover how many people are having affairs in any locality.

High Wycombe came out highest, with 2.12% of the population cheating.

In second place was another middle class commuter town, Guildford in Surrey, with 1,250 cheats (2.05% of the population) and Aldershot in Hampshire came third.

Cumbernauld, fifth in the overall UK table, was Scotland’s cheating capital. Wrexham, a lowly 55 in the UK table, was Wales’s cheating capital – suggesting that couples in the Principality are having fewer affairs than elsewhere in the UK.

Many of the towns with the highest numbers of cheats are wealthy areas in the south of England.

The most faithful town, perhaps surprisingly, was Brentwood in Essex – shattering the myth that Essex girls (and boys) are promiscuous. Brentwood is where many of the cast of the TV show The Only Way Is Essex live or socialise.

Famous people from High Wycombe include the TV chef Heston Blumenthal, comedian Jimmy Carr, actor James Corden and TV presenter Fern Britton.

With an average house price of £269,681 – far above the national average of £188,270 – it is one of the most desirable places to live in the UK.

The figures were compiled by IllicitEncounters.com, Britain’s leading dating website for married people.

They are based on its own extensive data on the numbers of Britons cheating.

Since its inception 13 years ago, more than 1 million people have registered with the site.
IllicitEncounters.com has seen a 20% surge in registrations in the last five years because many couples simply cannot afford to divorce due economic pressures and ever-rising house prices.

Increasing numbers of couples are trapped in unhappy marriages but they are reluctant to divorce and are using IllicitEncounters.com to inject to some excitement into their lives with like-minded married men who also have no intention of leaving their partners.

llicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “We are increasingly popular in commuter towns like High Wycombe, Guildford, Maidenhead and Ashford. They are doing a lot more than just twitching curtains in Acacia Avenue.

“Spiralling house prices have made divorce increasingly difficult for many couples. They are struggling along unhappily because they simply cannot afford to set up two homes.

“IllicitEncounters.com provides an outlet for men and women who would have an affair whether we were there or not. In coming to us, they can be assured of meeting a like-minded partner seeking some added excitement in their life who doesn’t want to upset things at home.”

Every week, around 20,000 people in the UK are having affairs on IllicitEncounters.com.
The average income of the men on the site is £54,000 a year, with most working in professional jobs.

Revealed: Where Adulterers Meet to Cheat!

43285b96b67fbad5af6fe5469e363081

  • 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.”

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

92946-dealing-with-a-break-up-full

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…

affair_2_1.135143956_std

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.”

Wey aye, man! Men Would Cheat on their Wives with Geordie Lasses More Than Anyone Else!

Cheryl_Cole_Cannes_2014

Women of Newcastle, hold your heads up high, affair-seeking men across the UK have just voted you their #1 choice for the women that they’d most like to have an affair with. That’s according to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, who surveyed over 1400 of their male members.

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains: “Geordie’s are known for being hot. Whether it’s Cheryl, Holly Hagan, or Vicky Pattison, Newcastle is well-known for producing some of the most attractive women in the country, so it’s not a surprise to see them fare so well among our members.”

Andrew, a 38-year-old business executive from London, added: “While women from Newcastle are known for their looks, there’s also something to be said for the city itself – it’s a great place to go and visit, and somewhere you’d look forward to meeting up with someone, although I’d probably have to pick up some of the local lingo first!”

“Location is always a big consideration for anyone looking to have an affair,” explains Grant.

“The idea is to escape from your existing miserable marriage, and Newcastle as a city provides some comfort, with plenty of nightlife and things to do.”

But while it might be good news for those in the North-East, it’s not pleasant reading if you’re from the midlands, with Birmingham and Coventry making up two of the bottom three places.

“What comes to mind when you think of Birmingham?” says Christian Grant.

“Gloomy, industrial, Jasper Carrott – that’s not exactly screaming ‘come and get me’ now is it? Newcastle represents youth and fun; the Midlands couldn’t be further from that. It’s just all a bit boring really, isn’t it?”

The misery for those in the Midlands is compounded further, with one respondent adding: “there’s nothing really sexy about the Midlands is there?”

Joining Birmingham and Coventry down the bottom is Liverpool, while London and Manchester round off the top 3.

The full results are available below:

Locations Percentage
Newcastle 14%
London 12%
Manchester 10%
Edinburgh 10%
Bristol 9%
Other 9%
Belfast 8%
Brighton 7%
Sheffield 6%
Glasgow 5%
Birmingham 5%
Liverpool 3%

Monogamy Isn’t in Our DNA! New Survey Shows That Even People in A Happy Marriage Cheat Too

the-real-reason-happy-married-people-cheat-is-so-surprising

One thing’s for certain, only people in a crumbling marriage cheat. Except, that’s not true at all. IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading and longest running dating website for married people, surveyed 1000 of its members, finding that 45% of affair-seeking men and 34% of affair-seeking women declared themselves to be in a happy marriage.

“It’s a result that may surprise some,” says IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“A common misconception is that anyone who cheats must be at the end of their tether with their partner, and that simply isn’t true. What’s equally as false is the idea that anyone who seeks an affair does so purely because they’re ‘bad’ or ‘immoral’ – there are all sorts of reasons.”

One of those reasons, as one anonymous respondent explains, is the lack of intimacy that develops the longer a marriage goes on: “[I’m] happy with life running smoothly in most respects. I have a comfortable life and I get on with my wife and we are good friends. [However] she is older than me and is no longer interested in a physical relationship and thus the warmth that goes with that. I still want that physicality but not in one night stands – in a long-term old fashioned relationship of getting to know each other.”

And he’s not alone, with a further 30% of men (and 27% of women), claiming that a lack of intimacy and passion is the main driving force behind their desire to have an affair.

Another claims: “Although absolutely lovely, my partner is not enough for me. I need a lot of attention, affection and conversation, and he is not able to meet those needs due to working long hours and being very tired when at home.”

Grant adds: “Maintaining the level of passion and intimacy in a relationship is incredibly difficult. Are we meant to be monogamous by design? The evidence suggests otherwise. It seems to be the case that a once romantic marriage can often develop into something that resembles the relationship between a brother and sister. Some people can live with it. Most can’t.”

However, an affair isn’t always driven by lust. There are, in fact, a plethora of different reasons, with IllicitEncounters.com’s survey finding that 30% of men and 22% of women noted health issues as their main motivation to search for a partner outside of their current relationship.

One respondent noted: “My partner lost her libido 2 years ago as a result of menopause, so there’s no longer any intimacy, sexual innuendo or lovemaking.”

“It might be tough to talk about, but for a lot of men and women of a certain age, things like menopause, erectile dysfunction and a handful of other barriers come into play,” explains Grant.

“It’s unfortunate and unavoidable, but it invariably has a negative impact on the intimate side of one’s relationship.”

Finally, the survey found that, for 20% of men and 25% of women, cheating on their partner was an integral component of keeping their marriage a happy.

“Variety is the spice of life,” says one female respondent. “Having an affair actually keeps me married – i.e. I don’t walk out because I’m bored or unhappy.”

The remainder of the respondents listed miscellaneous reasons for their desire to have an affair.

Adulterous Behaviour Could Reach Record High As the UK Begins to Freeze

cold-weatherX2

Wrap up warm, turn on the central heating, oh, and maybe keep an eye on your partner, too. As Britain braces itself for the coldest winter in nearly 60 years, the nation’s leading and longest running dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com, is sending out a warning of its own – more snow and colder weather means an increase in adulterous behaviour.

IllicitEncounters.com noted a significant increase in registrations and activity on the site, correlating with the recent change in weather, as well as the particularly harsh conditions in the north of England.

IllicitEncounters.com’s spokesperson, Christian Grant, explains: “January is always a particularly busy time for the site, but there’s an unmistakable pattern linking the harsh weather to an increase in the number of members registering, along with an increase in their activity, even during times of the day that are normally less busy.

Why? Well, the increase in the number of people working from home is certainly a factor. Needless to say, the number one priority for anyone who chooses to sign up to our site is anonymity and discretion.

However, with the significant majority of our members occupied with work for large parts of the day, it can be a little difficult to find the right time to sign up and frequent the site. But with floods, freezing temperatures, and maybe even snow potentially trapping the nation indoors, anyone can sign up without the prying eyes of their boss and colleagues – without the threat of constant surveillance, there’s very little to deter someone from signing up and frequenting the site during office hours.”

Jennifer, a 42-year-old accountant from North Yorkshire, adds: “The rough weather, particularly up here in the North East, has left a lot of people unable or unwilling to leave their home. After being stranded at home for a few days with my husband, who was firmly fixated on Sky Sports for almost every waking minute, signing up to a dating website such as this seemed like a no-brainer.”

This isn’t the first time that IllicitEncounters.com has experienced such an increase in registrations thanks to the harsh weather. A bout of snow that hit the UK a few years ago led to a drastic increase in activity on the site, but Grant predicts it to be even greater this time around.

“With experts claiming that the country is due to experience its worst bout of snow since 2010/11, and the worst winter in nearly six decades, there’s no reason to doubt that people across the country will sign up to the site like never before. We’re certainly bracing ourselves, with everyone on the team expecting to work extra hours just to keep up with the demand.”

Put A Cork In It – Drinking Red Wine Could Signify That Your Partner’s A Cheat!

Woman-Drinking-Red-Wine2-1024x574

Goodbye Wetherspoons, hello Oddbins – yes, red wine has become the go-to alcoholic drink of choice for affair-seeking women up and down the UK. That’s according to a survey by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people.

Of the 2000 women who participated in the survey, just shy of a quarter gave their vote to red wine, with its nearest competitor, gin, receiving 20% of the vote. Is it the taste? The units? The potential health benefits? Christian Grant, IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, sheds a little light on red wine’s victory.

“In every new relationship, both partners are eager to better themselves and impress their opposite number. Red wine has always been associated with class, intelligence and elegance – to a certain extent, it’s a status symbol.

So, if you’ve noticed that your wife has ditched the unknown brands of vodka and gin and is starting to spend a worrying amount of time studying wine labels in her local supermarket, it could be a telling sign that she’s trying to impress someone new.”

Several anonymous respondents pitched in with their reasoning, with one stating: “First impressions are everything, and wine has too many positive connotations to pass it up! It might seem like just a small thing, but it can only help your image.”

The survey also found that the perceived health benefits that come with consuming red wine were a defining characteristic in its victory.

Grant explains: “Whenever you enter a new relationship, your appearance and health is always at the forefront of your mind. Study after study has suggested that red wine can prevent cancer, dementia – a whole host of diseases and illnesses, in fact – but, most importantly, it contains anti-aging properties.

There’s a lot to suggest that red wine does more good than harm – certainly more so than any other alcoholic beverage out there – and a woman looking to better herself for the new man in her life will most definitely take all of that into account.”

The full results are available below:

Drink Percentage
Red Wine 24%
Gin 20%
Cocktail 15%
White Wine 14%
Other 12%
Tea Total 6%
Rosé 5%
Beer 4%

Naughty, Not Nice – The Five Christmas Gifts That Indicate You Might Be Dating An Adulterer

Cristmas-Gifts

Has your partner been naughty or nice this year? You won’t need Santa’s help for this one, just take a peek at their Christmas list. The advice comes from the UK’s leading dating website for married people, IllicitEncounters.com, who surveyed over 1500 of its members to find out the gifts that top their Christmas lists.

IllicitEncounters’ survey found that men were most keen on the following gifts this Christmas:

5. Underwear – 10%

“With the amount of adverts featuring hot, well-built blokes, it’s easy to understand why a man might consider a pair of CK briefs as a must-buy this Christmas,” explains IllicitEncounters’ spokesperson, Christian Grant.

“Although women will undoubtedly be more impressed, or not as the case may be, by what’s underneath, it hasn’t stopped the 10% of our respondents who are hoping to unwrap some designer briefs on the 25th”.

 

4. Fitbit– 17%

“After years of lazing around the house caressing his gut, your man has decided to slim down, but there’s a good chance that he isn’t doing it for you,” claims Grant.

“This epiphany isn’t a coincidence – there’s a good chance that an extramarital relationship is what’s driving him”.

 

3. Fragrance – 20%

“Has your man upgraded from a £5 Adidas cologne to the latest from Christian Dior? It might be worth keeping an eye on,” says Grant.

 

2. New Phone – 22%

Male or female, young or old, mobile phones always prove to be among the most popular gifts at Christmas year in, year out. But doesn’t your partner already have a phone? Why would he need another? Grant explains: “So many men purchase a ‘burn phone’ to use solely to contact their extramarital partner. Ask yourself: is his current phone working perfectly? Did he only purchase it recently? And now he wants a new one? Alarm bells should be ringing, ladies.”

 

1. Designer Clothes – 23%

“Whether it’s designer brands or a brand new suit, every girl is crazy about a sharp dressed man, so don’t be surprised to see your partner asking for an entirely new wardrobe this Christmas,” claims Grant.

IllicitEncounters also surveyed its female members and found similar results. “Male or female, affair-seekers all have the same thing in common: they want to look good, feel good and keep their illicit relationship as discreet as possible,” says Grant, “…so it’s not surprising to see that a new phone, perfume and some irresistible lingerie ranked high among our female members’ Christmas lists”.

The full results are available below:

Gift Percentage of Men
Underwear 10%
Fitbit 17%
Fragrance 20%
New Phone 22%
Designer Clothes 23%
Other 8%

 

Gift Percentage of Women
High Heels 8%
Jewellery 19%
New Phone 20%
Perfume 20%
Lingerie 27%

Men, Watch Your Backs – Nearly a Third of Guys Would Sleep with a Close Friend’s Partner!

What-to-Say-to-a-Friend-Whos-Having-an-Affair-main-650x433

Look away now fellas, as nearly a third of you (31%) would cheat with a close friend’s partner! That’s according to a survey by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, who asked their male members whether, if given the chance, they’d cheat with their best friend’s partner.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters, Christian Grant, explained: “The idea of a ‘bromance’ only goes so far. It’s all well and good saying that you’ve got your friend’s back, but, when presented with the opportunity, a significant amount of men abandon all code and loyalty, acting purely on instinct.”

An anonymous respondent shed a little light on the situation, stating: “The buzz from the proximity/danger would be amazing,” before adding that “it would be difficult to maintain that relationship for any length of time.”

The survey also found that, astonishingly, 17% have already cheated with a close friend’s partner, with this respondent describing his experience: “She was hot. We were both frustrated with our home lives. We had the perfect excuse to see each other often. In terms of the experience it was great whilst it lasted. Very intense physically. It became more difficult though as her relationship was breaking down from both parties’ perspective and I felt she was looking for more from me.”

Another added: “We always flirted and laughed so when her husband went away I took her out one night and we ended up in a delightful 5 year-long affair.”

Grant adds: “It might be shocking to some, but things of this nature happen all the time, and not just to a guy that you know – everyone is susceptible. Heck, just look at Simon Cowell. Sure, he’s not proud of what he’s done, and he probably knew beforehand the potential implications of sleeping with his best friend’s wife, but that didn’t stop him – now he’s a father, albeit a happy and proud one.”

Interestingly, IllicitEncounters also surveyed their female members, posing the same question. In complete contrast to the men, only 12% of women claimed that they’d cheat with a close friend’s partner, with just 10% admitting that they’d already done the deed.

In fact, the general consensus amongst women was that friendship was far too precious to risk for an affair. An anonymous respondent said: “Never make love by the garden gate, love is blind but the neighbours ain’t!” As one respondent put it, “some things are sacrosanct. Friendship is one of those things.”
