- A survey conducted by hook-up app Ashley Madison revealed the top 20 locations in the US prone to adultery
- Three Florida cities made the top five
- Four of the twenty locations were Midwestern cities
America’s cheating hotspots have been revealed and Florida residents top the list and are found to be the most likely to commit adultery.
Now that cold weather has made its way to the US, “cuffing season” has begun, but data from an online dating service suggests otherwise with “uncuffing season.”
Ashley Madison – the online site known to target married individuals and uses the tagline ‘Life is short’. Have an affair’ – researched where their members live to discover ‘hotspots around the world when it comes to adulterous behavior’.
The site’s chief strategy officer, Paul Keable, said Fox news that twenty US states made the list, and that states in the Midwest and several cities and Florida have become hotbeds of cheating.
The top 20 locations in the US prone to cheating, based on a survey by Ashley Madison, an app aimed at married couples
Chief Strategy Officer for the dating service, Paul Keable, said many couples want to spice things up during the cold months
Three of the top five locations were from Florida and four of the 20 locations were from the Midwest.
“Infidelity is truly universal, and we see people from across the political spectrum joining our site. We’ve seen research outside our company showing that more right-wing people tend to sign up for Ashley Madison. So it shouldn’t be a surprise,” Keable said.
Keable added that couples who are more attracted to a relaxing season are more likely to spice things up in their marriage for the cold seasons.
The research was based on where users live. But if it were based on where the infidelity occurred, Keable said Las Vegas would be higher than number four on the list.
He said he was surprised that three Colorado cities found spots on the list. People from Denver, Colorado Springs and Aurora were found to have the most adulterous behavior.
Keable said he was surprised only one Golden State city appeared on the list, saying many might associate the liberal state with cheaters.
“People often want to equate the California lifestyle with a lack of morals and ethics. You know, we’re seeing fraud scandals in Hollywood,” he said.
Although California barely made an appearance, he said adultery has become somewhat normalized in the state.
Keable said, “And so some people in California don’t need the discretion that Ashley Madison provides.”
The role of the Chief Strategy Officer at Ashley Madison is to “talk to people about what’s really happening in the world of infidelity” and not to convince them not to have an affair.
With that, Keable also knows that there is more of a negative connotation when it comes to the dating service, as some are calling it an “immoral company.”
In response, Keable said, “Listen, if we stopped work today, not a single case would be stopped. If Ashley Madison didn’t exist, adultery would still be as prevalent as it is around the world.”
‘Uncuffing season’ has made its way to the US as the survey found more couples have looked to others to feel happy and satisfied in their marriage
In fact, he believes that more people would be arrested if they didn’t use Ashley Madison’s services.
Ashley Madison is an online Canadian service that was originally launched in 2002.
It received a lot of press in 2015 when the site was hacked and personal information of millions of users was leaked to the public.
The site was soon upgraded to a ‘morally questionable business model’ designed for couples who might ‘escape a sexless marriageor the search for a mutual relationship that requires sensitivity and privacy.’
