The Great British Bloke Breakdown – Women from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland describe their ideal man

Leading extramarital dating website, IllicitEncounters.com, has released its largest ever study into what regional women find attractive in men. Illicit Encounters surveyed 1000 of its female members in each region of the UK, to find out what personality and physical traits they look for in a man.

Scotland: The perfect Scottish man is over 6ft tall, medium build with strawberry blond hair, strong willed and with a sensitive side. The strong silent type whose actions speak louder than words will win the heart of these ladies.

Think: Damian Lewis

Wales: Welsh women are on the look out for a man who averages 5ft 7inches tall, dark haired with a few extra-pounds on for that killer cuddle. A sociable man with a good sense of humour was top of the list.

Think: Jack Black

Ireland: Irish women are looking for a man who is 5ft 10, dark haired with a toned body; they are especially attracted to an intense and brooding personality. Someone that would show them a good time and enjoy an active lifestyle was equally as important as smouldering good looks.

Think: Colin Farrell

The Midlands: These ladies like a man to be man. Strong, reliable, fun to be around and whose girlfriends will love him. Physically well set, averaging 6ft tall, dashing, always ready to jump in and be her hero while being a big softy on the inside.

Think: Idris Elba

South of England: Women in the south of England are especially attracted to men who are approximately 5ft 11 inches tall with a good head of dark hair; they are also looking for a man who is intellectually stimulating and crave a strong mental connection, and admire healthy ambition.

Think: Professor Brian Cox

North of England: Men who are over 6ft and have a strong muscular physique are the most attractive to women in the north of England. They want a man who will cherish and spoil them while being dependable, loyal and hard working.

Think: Chris Hemsworth

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Mike Taylor commented: “These findings show that across the UK women have very different tastes in the men, and what they find most attractive varies from height to a mental connection. In a relationship where intimacy is no longer present it can make people feel they are no longer attractive – what this study proves is that no matter how unattractive you may feel, you are probably just someone’s type.”

The study also asked the female respondents to rate anonymously what they felt was more important when looking for an illicit relationship: personality or physical appearance, the results where that a staggering 74% of women found personality more important than appearance.

End.

Charming Brits oust Hollywood Hunks topping 2014 sexiest actors poll

With the BAFTAs taking place in London’s Royal Opera House this weekend, the british film industry is set to take over from the palm trees of Hollywood this award season, but it’s not just the incredible films the UK has turned out in 2013 that has got the world’s attention – it’s the British male actors that have ladies everywhere in a spin according to the UK’s leading dating website for extramarital affairs, IllicitEncounters.com.

Illicit Encounters ran a poll asking their female members who makes their heart’s beat faster on screen, and the top objects of desire were: Benedict Cumberbatch 38% in first place, followed by Tom Hiddleston 27%, and Michael Fassbender 19% third. This is a total turnaround from the 2013 poll which put Wolverine star Hugh Jackman 48% first, the ultra smooth Bradley Cooper 29% second, and the handsome Denzel Washington third with 16%.

British talent really did takeover in 2013, dominating our screens at home and cinema. Benedict Cumberbatch has won the heart of the nation with his fantastic take on Sherlock, giving new life to one of the Uk’s best loved detectives, he also earned a National Television Award for ‘Best Detective’ early this year, and played a plantation owner in Steve McQueen’s brilliant Academy Award and BAFTA nominated ’12 Years a slave’.

Dashing RADA trained Tom Hiddleston was close behind his friend Cumberbatch as heartthrob number two. Hiddleston has become a Hollywood star in his right by playing the villain Loki in the Marvel ‘Thor’ movies, as well as just ending a sell out run at the Donmar Warehouse in Shakespeare’s Coriolanus; Hiddleston’s star is firmly on the rise. Rough and ready German Irish actor Michael Fassbender takes third place, with lead roles in ‘The Counselor’ and also ’12 Years a Slave’ in 2013, Fassbender has secured his place among some of today’s greatest actors – and if you saw him ‘Shame’, it’s not hard to understand why the ladies love him.

Classically Hollywood’s leading men top all the sexiest males polls, but the charm and charisma of this trio seem to have ladies going weak at the knees. Us Brits are having a bit of a moment right now; Hiddleston also stars in Jaguar’s new TV advert along with veteran actor Ben Kingsley and Mark Strong telling us that “It’s good to be bad” as villains in movies are usually played by Brits – maybe it’s because the Americans like to see us lose, but it looks like it’s them losing out in the sexy stakes – viva Britannia!

However it wasn’t all great news for the British thespians as Gerard Butler only just scraped into the sexiest actors list with 1% of the female vote.

It seems some men have the luck of the Irish when it comes to the accent department. Women have voted the Irish accent the sexiest in a new poll conducted by leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com.

Women overwhelmingly found the romantic brogue of such stars as Colin Farrell and Liam Neeson irresistible. The survey of over 6000 members of the dating site also found that men where most likely to be attracted to a woman with an Oxford or so called “posh” accent.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones commented: “Sometimes it’s not just what you say but how you say it, accents are increasingly becoming highlighted in our members profiles as to set them apart from other potentials. Being able to have a conversation is a really important element to forming a successful physical relationship. So finding your dates accent attractive can be a real plus point”

Men with Scottish, West Country and Cockney accents also faired well, meanwhile the least attractive accent for men was a Manchester accent and women with a Birmingham twang also faired poorly in the poll of UK based accents.

Women from Scotland, Wales and Liverpool should also take advantage of their attractive voices however those from Essex and the West Country may not want to promote there vocal region when looking for a date online.

Working Longer Hours Can Lead To An Affair

Spending more hours in the office is leading to a rise in affairs in the workplace according to a recent study by Notatwork.co.uk and married dating site IllicitEncounters.com. The research revealed that people who regularly worked over 45 hours a week are almost 5 times more likely to embark on an extra marital affair.

It estimated that more than seven million people a year in the UK work unpaid extra hours to hold on to their jobs. The study revealed that employees that regularly do more that 50+ hours a week are those working in the Video games industry, financial sector, medicine, journalism, and the emergency services. With all of them having a much higher than average number of work-based affairs.

The most common reason the respondents gave for working longer hours was that workload has increased in recent years and they fear for their jobs, so they work longer hours to make sure they are secure. The video games industry has long had a reputation of having to work long hours with developers doing 12 to 16 hours a day for three to four months at a time, without extra pay due to the belief if they don’t they will be replaced by younger cheaper talent.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, Mike Taylor, said “Working longer hours without additional pay or benefits can push people into making bad relationship decisions. Workers can find themselves in the office late at night, exhausted and feeling low and take comfort with a co-worker in the same situation, this can then develop as they spend more time with each other than they are with their spouses. Over 54% of all workers admitted that at some-point in their career they have considered engaging in a work-based affair and this study shows the likelihood of them doing so increases exponentially when working hours are increased.”

Unemployment fell to 2.5 million between October and December last year and there are 580,000 more people in work than a year ago, but staff are being squeezed into working longer hours whilst taking home less, with average earnings growth slowing to just 1.4%, below the 2.7% inflation rate.

Employers need to recognise that squeezing more hours out of their workers is counter-productive in more ways than one. It affects their workers’ morale, their physical and mental well being and as this study has shown, can also be detrimental to their personal relationships. None of those is going to be of any long term benefit to any business.

Is It Time For A More Progressive Pope?

In an announcement today the Vatican said Pope Benedict XVI would resign as head of the Catholic Church at the end of this month. Pope Benedict XVI took charge of the Catholic Church during difficult times but has stood stedfast with his hard line defence of fundamental Christian values in the face of what he had described as moral decline across much of Europe. Despite this hardline approach and unwavering conservatism during his papacy Catholics have become the most adulterous religious group in the England and Wales according to research conducted by the UK’s leading marital dating site IllicitEncounters.com

The number of Catholics actively looking for affairs according to the research done by IllicitEncounters.com was almost twice that of other religious groups. The study showed that 21.5% of the 750,000 members on the extra-marital dating site were Catholic, a shockingly high figure since Roman Catholics make up just 10% of the UK population (YouGov & Cambridge University figures).

A Vatican spokesman said that Pope Benedict XVI has taken the decision to retire “aware of great problems the Church faces today”. One of which will undoubtedly be the continuing liberal moral shift, which during the 1960’s had driven him to become a theological conservative, taking uncompromising positions on homosexuality, adultery, women priests and contraception.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones says: “Catholics under Pope Benedict XVI have had a very conservative and uncompromising head of Church, this has had the effect of instilling a sanctity of marriage amongst a generation who are more liberal, leading to a trade off if they become unhappy in the relationship, staying married but having extra-marital affairs.”

It is unclear who will take the papacy after Benedict XVI but a progressive and liberal Pope maybe able to help reunite the Church and curb the falling numbers of Catholics. As it is clear people are becoming more likely to seek a relationship outside of marriage despite religious condemnation.

Religion Illicit Encounters Members England and Wales Public Infidelity Index
Catholic 21.5% 10% 2.15
Presbyterian 1.5% 1% 1.5
Islam 1.5% 1% 1.5
Hindu 0.5% 0.5% 1

The Snow may have thawed but some relationships are still frosty

The recent snow fall has led to an influx in new members signing up to look for extra-marital relationships, with the UK’s leading married dating site IllicitEncounters.com reporting a huge spike in traffic and record new signups over the past week.

But what is the reason for the sudden increase in new members, is it the cold weather, the long dark nights or even the post holiday blues? Research conducted by IllicitEncounters.com has revealed that the most common reasons that men stray from their partners are complacency and boredom.

The research showed that men signing up were mostly looking for an escape from their every day life, with the second most common response being “I am looking for more adventurous sex”.

Senior lecturer in psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University Dr David Holmes, who has researched relationships and infidelity. Stated:

“Women look for a better relationship but men look for better sex, a mix that often drops the man into choppy waters. Men often become bored with functional workaholic relationships that are seen as devoid of passion, stimulation and intrigue. In relationships the grass is always greener elsewhere. The excitement of a secret rendezvous and sexual adventures with someone different could act as a fulfilling stimulant. However, most affairs go undetected as they never escalate or develop into competing relationships”

The study also examined what men looked for in a new lovers’ personality. The majority responded that they are after a woman who is sexually confident, surprisingly almost twice the number who were looking to meet a partner with the same interests and values as themselves.

Dr Holmes added: “Couples tend to undervalue sex in their relationship and for some it becomes a chore–getting in the way of more important things. Too many marriages are based on convenience, or only being together for the kids. This is not just fertile ground for affairs but almost certainly will result in one if either partner is a passionate person. Couples should take the need for good passionate sex as the focal expression of a relationship more seriously.’

A spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Rosie Freeman-Jones commented: “The snow has certainly has had an effect on people joining the site. Members have told me that being snowed in has left them longing for excitement and an escape from their unsatisfying relationship and this is only heightened by the January blues. When you have been married for a period of time the mystery and intrigue that played a big part in your initial attraction can fade and leave both men and women craving something more.

It is clear from looking at all our members’ profiles that they are first and foremost looking for some excitement and and see an affair as an injection of fun into their mundane routines.”

Additionally when both male and female members were asked “What type of look did they want from a new lover?” The most popular choice was someone more exciting and exotic than their current partner.

Behaving like Bond can cost you your job

rzo7mx71zfnqjfgqny6e

Having cheated death after being shot in the chest, surviving a parachute malfunction and rising to the top of the CIA. David Petraeus will attest, that unlike fictional spy James Bond, in the real world it’s not a good idea to use your spy charm to seduce the ladies, as getting caught having an affair in the CIA can help you go from 007 to P45.

Gen Petraeus was forced to resign last week, after an FBI investigation uncovered that he had engaged in an extra-marital affair after 37 years of marriage.

Research conducted by IllicitEncounters.com in conjunction with NotAtWork.co.uk has shown that having an affair with someone you work with can have severe affects on you career prospects. Of the business owners who responded to the survey 81% said that having a relationship within the workplace would negatively affect the employment prospects of the individuals involved. A whopping 84% of employees admitted that getting frisky with a colleague would led to a fall in their productivity in the workplace and a shocking 75% of workers admitted they had considered having an office-based tryst.

Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com Mike Taylor said: “Having an affair with someone you work with can lead to all sorts of issues. Unlike Petraeus the average worker may not have the FBI poking around their private lives, however that doesn’t mean that it won’t affect their career. That is why over half the businesses surveyed would recommend using a dating site to find romance rather than having their staff seek it out in the workplace”

IllicitEncounters.com is the UK’s leading extra-marital dating site with over 700,000 members and offers its users a secure and discreet service to help them look for a fulfilling relationship, even if the FBI is investigating you.

New Study: Office Based Romance Cost British Companies Millions

fczjygl4y1mxkkfvn40s (1)

No company wants to have to deal with unnecessary and avoidable costs of situations such as sexual harassment, discrimination, health and safety or unfair dismissal claims against the organisation. As well as costing a fortune these actions can harm the reputation of the business and have an impact on the productivity of the staff.

Leading extra-marital affairs website IllicitEncounters.com, In conjunction with NotAtWork.co.uk, commissioned a series of studies and reports to investigate the economic impact on businesses caused by affairs within the workplace.

Two surveys were conducted in October 2012, asking individuals and business owners to answer questions relating to the effect of Office Romances on careers and impact on businesses.

Over a thousand individuals responded to the ‘Are Office Romances a good idea’ survey and over 200 businesses to the ‘Impact of Office Romances on UK Businesses’ survey.

Individuals, when asked if they had ever engaged in an office romance.

  • 75% of respondents have at least considered it.
  • 54% have engaged in at least 1 office romance.
  • 27% have engaged in an office romance more than once.

When asked if their employers had a contractual morality clause forbidding office relationships.

  • 6% stated that their employer had it as part of the terms and conditions of their employment.
  • 35% stated that their employer did not mind at all.

They were then asked if they felt office-based romances can impact on one’s productivity at work.

  • 16% answered ‘Not at all’
  • 84% felt that it would impact productivity at least a little. (38% said it definitely would)

In regards to disciplinary actions related to office romances, 20% of respondents claim that they or a colleague have been disciplined for having a work-place romance.

Businesses taking part in the ‘Impact of Office Romances on UK Businesses’ survey revealed the following:

  • 74% of businesses have no formal or informal policy to discourage staff from engaging in office relationships
  • Only 16% of businesses said that office-based romances had no effect on productivity within their organisation. 48% stated that it would only have minimal impact.
  • Only 19% of businesses stated that an office-based romance would in no way affect the career prospects of those involved.
  • 32% of businesses would consider (or already have) a morality clause in its employment contracts to forbid office romances.
  • 51% of businesses felt recommending employees seek romance outside of their place of work would save them money and improve productivity.
  • In the last 12 months, the average cost to each business from issues relating to office romances was over £65,000. So the total cost to the 200 companies surveyed was in excess of £13 million.

It is interesting then that the majority of businesses acknowledge that office romances can have a negative impact on productivity but over half feel that it is minimal, in contrast to 84% of individuals who stated that it would affect productivity at least a little.

Mike Taylor, Spokesperson for IllicitEncounters.com, said “These are some shocking statistics and we have barely scratched the surface. You will never stop people from developing romantic feelings towards their co-workers which can often lead to a full blown affair. However we offer a discreet and safe online dating platform for those seeking extra marital romances, allowing workers to focus their attention on their work in their work place. ”

Office romances are literally costing UK businesses millions and perhaps too many businesses fail to recognise the magnitude of the impact it has on their organisation. Although a morality clause within an employment contract would seem too drastic an action for many employers, encouraging employees to seek romances outside of work by promoting the use of online dating sites as well as making employees aware of the long term effects an office romance could have on their career can be a more effective and less draconian strategy in refocusing their employees and avoiding costly HR issues.
