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.”

Watch Out Fellas – Women Use Halloween as the Perfect Excuse to Cheat!

sexy-halloween-costume-from-victorias-secret-10

Trick or cheat? Cheat, apparently, as thousands of women admit to having an affair on Halloween night.

IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading dating website for married people, surveyed over 2000 women and posed the question “Have you ever used Halloween as an excuse to cheat on your partner?” 70% of women replied with a resounding yes, while the remaining 30% said no.

Why Halloween? Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters, Socrates Pyliotis, explains: “Halloween acts as the perfect opportunity for women to meet other men. Most men are always curious as to what their partners are up to on a night out, and they wouldn’t normally permit them to dress promiscuously. On Halloween, however, women can wear what they like and completely get away with it. Sexy kittens, sexy mice, sexy nurses… I’ve even seen the odd sexy granny or two! Anything goes.”

Alexandra, a 31 year old retail assistant from Romford, echoed these thoughts: “My boyfriend would never let me leave the house most nights – I’m always judged for the way I dress. Sometimes my skirt is too short, or my top is too low cut, but on Halloween, no-one seems to care! I can dress how I like and go out without him batting an eyelid.”

“Women love male attention,” added Pyliotis, “and men find an attractive woman in a sexy outfit an irresistible treat for the eyes.”

“Not all women have illicit intentions, but those that do are finding that Halloween provides the perfect excuse to go behind their partner’s back. They don their kitten outfit, slip outside the house, and their boyfriends and husbands are none the wiser.”

Cheatsafer.com ensures that people can have a safe affair and at the same time keep their marriage strong.

Taking on an extra-marital relationship can be the most rewarding and fantastic decision a married person ever makes, but they need to know how to do it right –CheatSafer.com has done all the hard work and created the ultimate guide to keep affairs secret.

CheatSafer.com offers general tips such as how you spend your money and how to interact with your spouse while having an affair as well as how to keep your pc or phone from getting you caught by your significant other.

IllicitEncounters.com CEO Simon Francis said “In light of recent scandals relating to online dating websites, we thought it was time to do something positive for the married dating community. With over 50% of people admitting to cheating on a partner, having an affair should not be such a taboo.

CheatSafer.com’s top tips for a successful affair:

Don’t take off your wedding rings, you might lose them. If you are both wearing wedding rings you will look like a married couple anyway so there’s no need to hide this.

  • NEVER visit each other’s marital homes.
  • Clear your computer history regularly so that there is no evidence of your web activity.
  • Set up a unique email account that is only for use with your mistress/histress or on married dating sites
  • Have a burn phone – a cheap phone that you don’t take home or keep private. This phone should never cross into the life of your marriage.
  • Receive paperless bank and telephone statements.
  • Don’t store any evidence. No pictures, no cinema stubs, no receipts. Dispose of everything
  • Location – think about where you’re meeting. Don’t go local, distance can allow for better anonymity.
  • Make sure you do not drastically change your day-to-day routine. If you change your normal schedule too much this will arouse suspicion.
  • Be Discreet. The number 1 rule to having an affair is to not talk about it. Don’t tell anyone – not your co-worker, not your friend, not your hairdresser. The less people know the less likely you are to be discovered.

Adulteresses spend more getting ready for lovers than their husbands!

y6iuzuyqv6pa7ejs4np5

Women spend more time and money getting ready for an affair than on dates with their husbands.

A new poll conducted by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’s largest extra-marital dating site has found that on average women spend six times the amount of time and money preparing for a date with their lover than they do with their spouse having surveyed 2000 of it’s female members.

The findings reveal that the average time spent getting ready to meet their husbands is 30 minutes compared to 3 hours getting ready to meet their lover.

The average amount spent on preparing for a date with their husband was ‘£25 or less’ compared to ‘£150 or more’ for their lover.

Out of those surveyed 72% of women said they go to the Salon to prepare for their affair-meet.

Those who went to the Salon were asked what services they used and the results reveal getting a ‘Blow Dry’ as the top affair preparation with 63% of women opting for this service.

Sara a member on the site said “Why should I put in the effort with my husband when he can barely be bothered to get off his backside to take me anywhere. The most effort he’s ever put in is taking me to the local Indian restaurant we’ve been going to for the last 12 years.
My special friend on the other hand, he pulls out all the stops and takes me to the fanciest places, it would be embarrassing to not dress up – and he’s so complimenting, I wouldn’t want to disappoint him. ”

Claire Page spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said “Can you blame a girl? If you’ve been married for a long time and your spouse doesn’t really take you out very often, or is predictable in doing so – why would you put in that extra care to look good.

On the other hand, your lover is full of surprises, taking you to new and exciting places – of course you’ll spend more time and money looking pruned to perfection. Having an affair makes you feel desirable again so it’s only natural a woman will endeavour to look better than ever!”

Hugo Boss – The Scent of a Cheat

rwlbsuj7qzl1u7dqtg0l

IllicitEncounters.com the largest UK extra-marital affairs site has revealed that more adulterers wear Hugo Boss than any other brand of aftershave.

The affairs site surveyed 2000 of its male members asking them what their choice of aftershave is, with Hugo Boss at the top with a 26% of the vote, suggesting that cheats can now be sniffed out.

In second place was Chanel Allure at 14% and third place Tom Ford (12%). Old Spice is also worth a mention, surprisingly 1% of members did opt for this ‘timeless’ aftershave, perhaps indicating that some men have simply not replaced their aftershave since 1936.

The site also polled the men on which type of smell is most attractive on a woman, and ‘Musky’ came on top with 25.40%, beating popular scents such as ‘Citrus’ (18.25%) and ‘Floral’ (13.49%). ‘Musky’ is a very animalistic smell, proposing that scent evokes very primitive instincts when it comes to levels of attraction.

It is interesting that Hugo Boss came in at such a high vote, perhaps affair seekers identify with it as a very masculine scent that is sure to entice a woman. What the winning three colognes have in common is that they are produced by very well known and long established fragrance companies which would appeal to many generations of men.

People tend to identify certain scents with each other. All too often that nostalgia kicks in when an aroma of someone you know hits you, and for a split second you think they might actually be in the room with you, right before you realise it’s somebody else sporting the fragrance. And now you may actually be able to smell a cheat.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page said “Scent and attraction have a big correlation. We are also very unique about our idea of what constitutes a sexy aroma. Some people prefer classic spicy scents, others something a little sweeter – and now we know that affair-seeking men opt for the classic woody tones of Hugo Boss. I’m not that shocked, Boss does smell pretty fantastic on a guy, very manly. You have to remember, unfaithful men tend to be alpha-males and this scent perfectly matches a real life Boss. Just remember, should you catch a whiff of Hugo Boss on a man, he may not be the only woman you’re seeing. I also quite like that affair seeking men are enticed by musky scents on a woman, it is after all a very ancient ingredient in a woman’s perfume; the sense of smell is one of our most primitive instincts so it’s only natural a man would go wild for this carnal fragrance.

Bankers are even bigger cheats when it comes to affairs

jkphspyni4lrprqecyoe

The UK’s largest extra-marital affairs dating website IllicitEncounters.com has released figures that suggest that those working in finance are most likely to have an affair then say those working in Government (3%) or in Engineering (6%).

Out of the 20 listed occupational fields a staggering 18% of active members have selected Financial Services as their occupation, indicating that bankers are currently the top cheating profession. The site is seeing more people from the financial sector seeking an affair, with an 8% increase of members joining IllicitEncounters.com since January this year.

Interestingly only 2% of active members are tradesmen opposing the myth that tradesmen have a womanising reputation. It is in face bankers that are laughing all the way to the bank.

Bankers are inherently designed to cheat, according to a study published in November last year in the journal Nature by Alain Cohn Ernst Fehr and André Maréchal. The study concluded that bankers are more likely to lie when conditioned into discussing their job beforehand.

John a member of IllicitEncounters.com and banker says “The banking industry is very fast paced and stress levels can be sky high when dealing with such a vast amount of money on a daily basis. It is an aggressive environment and the only way I seem to be able to relieve the tension is by sleeping with a string of women that are not my wife. When I’m going on a date after work I still feel cocky and ballsy with an answer for everything, but when I go home and see my wife I’m relaxed and can be the loving and attentive husband she needs me to be.”

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Claire Page says “Bankers can switch at the flip of a coin depending on what situation they find themselves in and they seem to be able to compartmentalise their private and professional life. Those working in the banking sector make the perfect affair candidates. They already know how to keep a secret and the financial security means they can afford the luxury of having an affair.

Fraudulent and irresponsible activity has been the trademark of bankers in recent years, with the economic crisis and Libor scandal, so taking this into their personal lives comes as no real surprise. Bankers are not one to miss out on an opportunity!

You would think that tradesmen, coming from such a masculine role, would be more likely to want to take a lover; after all the likelihood of being wolf whistled at in the street by a builder is higher than say, being approached by a man that is suited and booted. Although, the results speak for themselves”

Intelligent People More Likely to Cheat, Especially Women!

yaa0qvbcyabcgpmsqppc

Intelligent people are most likely to have affairs, especially women, according toIllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s leading married dating site.

The website looked at the educational qualifications of its nearly 1 million members in the UK. The findings show that 72% of female members have higher education qualifications of Bachelor’s Degrees or above whereas male members fared slightly lower with 65%.

Education, however, was not a standalone factor when analyzing a person’s intelligence. The website also cross examined the profiles of 500 currently active members of IllicitEncounters.com and found that 61% spoke more than one language, 48% described themselves as ‘creative’ and 34% ran their own business.

The majority of members on the site are in senior professions and earning high salaries (either in the higher rate or additional rate tax band), it is clear that intelligence impacts success.

“Appearing to have a successful life immediately makes you more desirable.” Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said, “It is unsurprising that successful people are faced with temptation when others are instantly attracted to them. Successful people tend to be high earners who have the financial means to indulge in an additional discrete relationship. They are also natural problem solvers and better negotiators who are more likely to take calculated risks – if they see a problem in their marriage but for whatever reason they cannot or do not want to leave, the obvious solution is to have an affair!”

The rise in women choosing to cheat on their spouses could be due to women choosing to focus on their careers and have children later in life, with the average age of women having kids currently at 30 years old. With better financial stability and less commitment, wives choosing to have an affair are on the increase.

The National Opinion Research Centre’s General Social Survey of American Society 2013 confirmed there has been an increase in women having affairs by 40%, while men having affairs remained consistent at 21%. IllicitEncounters.com has also seen an increase of 18% of female members joining the site in the last 12 months alone. With better financial stability, better education and less commitments, attached women choosing to take on another lover are on the rise.

Accountants Make Best Husbands…to Cheat on!!

ctw4c74kizhcvlhwll9n

New research released today by Britain’s largest married dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, shows that women cheat more on accountants than any other profession! When 1,500 female members across the UK were asked ‘What does your husband do for a career?’ the highest percentage of them (13%) said they were accountants.

The top six reasons these women started affairs were:

  • 1)The excitement has gone in our marriage (563 votes)
  • 2)We’ve lost our connection (233 votes)
  • 3)The sex drive has gone in our marriage (214 votes)
  • 4)We spend too much time apart (211 votes)
  • 5)We spend too much time together (196 votes)
  • 6)I don’t feel special to him any more (83 votes)

So why exactly do so many women want to marry an accountant but can’t stay faithful?

“Stability, both financial and personal is the number one thing people seek in marriages,” said psychologist Lucy Redford, “The typical accountant is seen as stable, reliable and responsible. Consciously or sub-consciously, all women seek these characteristics in a mate. The number one reason people stray from marriages is because excitement is replaced by routine, and what was once seen as a spark becomes a chore. Every relationship requires work, but it still needs to be worth working for.”

Claire Page, spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com said “Finding out your partner had an affair isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Oftentimes it brings to the surface the unspoken tensions and problems couples have and when people cheat and are caught, it usually brings about better communication and clears the air.

“Having said that, getting caught shouldn’t be something our customers worry about. Discretion is our number one priority and in thirteen years of being in business, we have yet to hear of a customer who was caught through a membership with Illicit Encounters!”

The top ten reasons the 195 female members said their accountant spouses were good husbands were:

  • 1)He is reliable
  • 2)He earns a good wage
  • 3)My family like him
  • 4)He is good with our children
  • 5)I feel safe when I am with him
  • 6)He’s a good decision-maker
  • 7)He’s intelligent
  • 8)He takes the fear out of money matters
  • 9)He’s a stress-reliever, and helps me make sense of confusing matters
  • 10)He’s ethical and plays by the rules

On the good side, if you’re an accountant and your wife is straying, she won’t let the affair break her marriage, because only 3 in the 195 cheating women said they would consider leaving their accountant husbands!
