​Friday the 13th – you won’t get lucky on the most unlucky night of year…even if it is on Valentine’s Eve!

mstbewd5masca95y46cm

New research released today shows that 67% of women won’t go on a first date on Friday the 13th, even if is it Valentine’s Eve. The study, by IllicitEncounters.com the UK’S largest married dating site, asked 1,500 female members if they would go on a date tomorrow – Valentine’s Eve, Friday the 13th and a staggering 1,005 women said they wouldn’t, even if it was with someone they really liked!

The 33% who said they would go were asked ‘If you went on a date, how would it affect you?’ and the results were:

1)At the back of my mind, I’d think the relationship would be doomed (43%)

2)I wouldn’t have sex in case it was bad (25%)

3)I would notice anything bad happening and put it down to Friday 13th (20%)

4)I wouldn’t have sex in case I got an STI/pregnant (18%)

5)It wouldn’t affect me (14%)

“There are many different reasons men will ask a girl out this Friday the 13th” Claire Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters said, “The good restaurants are booked up by now for the 14th February, so if you ask a girl out last minute, you might have to settle for Valentine’s Eve, not Valentine’s night. Another reason men are booking restaurants, hotels and theatre outings tomorrow is because Groupon, Wowcher and LivingSocial deals aren’t valid on Valentine’s Day. The businesses don’t need to use discount websites because they’re going to be so busy on the 14th, so men who want to get a bargain will book for the 13th instead.”

Psychic Sally Morgan said for her, Friday the 13th is actually a lucky day – “Personally I have always found the number 13 to be good for me, I was born at number 13 and lived and grew up at number 13, if you read my book ‘My Psychic Life ‘ you will see I talk about the ghosts that were in this house. I met John my husband on Friday 13th, my eldest grandson was born on the 13th and for me the 13th ( even Friday 13th ) has always been a positive day, I feel we make our own ‘luck’ and so often when we perceive a situation as being ‘bad luck ‘ it’s looking at that situation as our glass half empty.”

Psychologist Lucy Redford said “If the main reason men are booking dates on the 13th instead of the 14th is to save money, this won’t be well received by women in the slightest. Being a miser isn’t attractive to anyone, especially on Valentine’s Day. Everyone wants to feel important and avoiding the international celebration of love for the sake of saving money tells a women she’s not worth the financial difference. Women are especially competitive about things like: where they went and what they got for Valentine’s Day so, in a way, yes, on this occasion Friday the 13th could prove unlucky for men across the UK!”

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!

Footballers Top the Least Trustworthy List!

fgtvrw5xy0otq2s0lfk3

New research released today by Illicit Encounters have confirmed that footballers are seen as the least trustworthy public figures, beating bankers, politicians and journalists, with 91% of the 2,000 women surveyed on IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s top extra marital dating site, saying the first characteristic that comes to mind when thinking of a footballer is ‘cheater’, before ‘talented’, ‘ambitious’, ‘athletic’, ‘fit’, or ‘motivated’.

The beautiful game isn’t short of its scandals and super-injunctions, and there have been more than enough footballers who have given in to temptation throughout their careers and earned them the least trustworthy slot, according to 1,820 of the surveyed women. Forget WAGS, the new footballing term is WAGOOs (Wives and Girlfriends of Others!)

“It’s not difficult to see why the stereotype that all footballers are cheaters is so strong in Britain with the likes of Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, John Terry, Peter Crouch, Franck Ribery and Carlos Tevez casually engaging in affairs,” said Clare Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, “Men often follow examples of their boss, father figure or leader and their managers aren’t doing a great job of that – when the likes Arsene Wenger and Sven Goran Eriksson get away with it, they may think they can do the same.

“Some of our clients are high-profile athletes who are looking for escapism from their high pressured lives on our website. They have huge stress from their fans, captains, media and agents to always play perfectly, support the correct charities, say the right thing to the press and represent their best self at all time – they’re bound to crack under the pressure of the limelight. IllicitEncounters offers the best possible remedy to this pressure: discretion and hot affairs!”

Monday the 5th of January is the BIGGEST day of the year for affairs!

babyd4lrmxpfngzbjcf3

Following on from news that Friday the 2nd of January is dubbed ‘Divorce Day’ by the legal community, the UK’s leading married dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, has revealed that Monday 5th January, is the most adulterous day of the year.

When most of the British public goes back to work after a busy and stressful Christmas it makes for the most likely time that UK married couples would embark on an affair.

Statistics show that January is the time most married people either think about embarking on an affair – or splitting from their partner completely, making it Britain’s bleakest month of the year for marriages.

This follows research conducted that shows that 1-3 married people think they may have married the wrong person or for the wrong reason.

Christmas and New Year is a week of family lockdown when there is no excuse for avoiding family time this leads to people seeking extra-marital relationships, which rises significantly after the majority of the British public go back to work.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor explains: “Christmas and New Year are times when couples spend an intense period of time with each other and their families. This can be quite claustrophobic and sometimes leads to a ‘cabin fever’ situation where both parties feel irritated with each other and underlying problems are exasperated. The 5th of January is typically one of the first days back to work and back to freedom and spouses take this opportunity to explore all the things they couldn’t under the watchful eye of their partner.”

IllicitEncounters.com sees on average a 30 per cent higher levels of activity during the winter months compared with the rest of the year, and this year to attract more female members Illicit Encounters has even released a 2015 calendar to showcase some of its eligible non-bachelors.

Based on previous years, IllicitEncounters.com is expected to see a sharp rise in the number of members joining the site. It is expected that there will be over One Million active UK members, approximately six per cent of the UK’s married population registered on the website by the end of winter.

This year the surge started even earlier with the pressure being too much for some couples, even by Boxing Day as Illicit Encounters reported it’s highest ever boxing day activity on the site showing it doesn’t take long during the festive period for the cracks to appear.

One in three will get frisky with a co-worker at the Christmas party!

xf9y2omfspqdqotoovqb

The office Christmas party season has arrived and a new study of over 1,500 workers conducted by leading married dating site, IllicitEncounters.com, has revealed a shocking 34% of workers have admitted to sleeping with a co-worker whilst attending their company’s Christmas party.

The study also showed that over 60% had drunkenly kissed someone they work with, and nearly a quarter of people (25%) admitted to calling in sick the next day with a hangover. Possibly clouded by alcohol – 18% made a poor career move and used the Christmas party as an opportunity to tell their boss exactly what they thought of them, while 25% had decided it would be an appropriate time to chat them up, perhaps trying to secure a pay rise or bonus.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com and relationship expert: Mike Taylor said: “When you work with someone day in and day out you can sometimes form close bonds – mix that with the Christmas party environment where alcohol is flowing freely and people become relaxed and uninhibited, that is when you are most likely to make compromising decisions and could do something you end up regretting, like chatting up your boss or even sleeping with a co-worker.

People can forget that there can be long-term ramifications to having a romantic relationship within the work-place. In a recent survey of employers, over 80% admitted that having an office based romance would affect the career prospects of those involved.”

Other activities staff confessed to doing at the Christmas party included 10% who had stripped off, 31% had confessed a secret to someone they wish they hadn’t, and 26% had engaged in some dodgy karaoke. Whilst over half of party goers revealed that they had done something embarrassing and made a fool out of themselves in front of their peers and superiors whilst getting carried away in the festivities.

You know what they say about men with big feet? Well apparently they are more likely to cheat

eytt9oyaidkp3hey2ahs

It seems that whilst some sayings about mens feet may be a myth the UK’s largest dating site for people looking to have an affair IllicitEnconters.com has conducted some new research on its male members and found a correlation between a man’s shoe size and their likelihood of having an affair.

It seems the larger the shoe size the more likely men are to have an affair with the most faithful men having a shoe between 7-9 and those men with size 10+ feet being over 3 times more likely to have an affair.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor commented: “While some men would argue that there is no relationship between the size of their feet and any other body part, it seems there is a strong correlation between the men who come on the site looking for an affair and the size of their loafers. “

The results of the study ties up with famous cheats who are also known to have larger feet, such as Bill Clinton who has size 13 US (size 12 UK feet), the largest of any President since Abraham Lincoln. Tiger Woods wears a size 10 whilst Hugh Grant sports size 11 shoes.

It seems if your partner is slipping on a pair of size 9s or smaller you can rest easy, however if he is slipping on some size 13 football boots he may be looking to play away, literally.

Men’s Shoe Size Men’s UK Average % Men looking for affair %
Below 7 2% 0%
7 18% 4%
8 27% 9%
9 26% 11%
10 14% 19%
11 5% 22%
12 2% 16%
13 2% 12%

Tennis loving cheats are looking for some ‘Wimblefun’ this summer.

ynx6hqvete9jy4qd3j7m

Suspicious husbands may want to keep an eye on their spouses during the upcoming Wimbledon Championships as a new study by the UK’s largest extramarital site,IllicitEncounters.com, has shown that an overwhelming amount of female adulteresses enjoy a spot of tennis (and not just the tonsil kind).

The site quizzed its database of 900,000 adulterers on which sports they will be either watching or partaking in this summer, and it seems the sport played as singles is the top choice of ladies who are already part of a duo.‘F1’ and ‘Football’ topped the male charts, but just over 40% of the female membership reported a keen interest in playing and watching tennis – new balls please? Cycling and Rugby also appeared high on the list, however in the wake of the world cup, Football appeared last.

Mike Taylor Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com commented: “tennis, which has long had a tradition predominantly of the middle and upper-classes, is an appropriate interest for the Illicit demographic. Through research we have learnt that the majority of our members are high earning, high achieving, and living in more rural areas like Devon and Berkshire. In cities, gyms are so expensive and there is little space for those who wish to pin up a net, and despite the fact that tennis has undergone a bit of a rebrand in the last ten years, many would still consider it a ‘posh’ sort of sport. In context, we can see why our members, and cheaters overall, would rank tennis higher on their interests list, than the rest of the population.”

The website also asked their female members which male tennis stars make them reach for ice cold water and a towel: gorgeous Spaniard Rafael Nadal topped the list of lust, beefy Argentinian Juan Martin del Potro makes them reach for their racket, as does Maria Sharapova’s Bulgarian boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov, the Swiss master Roger Federer came forth in their hearts, and the strapping German Tommy Haas is number five for a love – love dream match. Unfortunately Andy Murray did not get the ladies pulses racing with just 2% of the vote.

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) refused to comment on the findings.

End

1 Rafael Nadal 23%
2 Juan Martin del Potro 17%
3 Grigor Dimitrov 13%
4 Roger Federer 11%
5 Tommy Haas 10%

Andy Murray received 2% of the female votes.
