'Life is Short, Have an Affair,' Says Ashley Madison Agency
Married Dating by the Numbers
Pimps are not what they used to be. In the past, they were the slimy guys in the alley who would seek to procure paying customers for the bodies of the women they victimized. Nowadays they are online services advocating secondary and even tertiary relationships, swinging, and affair guarantees - for a price.
The Ashley Madison agency pimps married folks looking for a quick romp in the hay. Hailing itself the "world's #1 married dating service specifically for attached men and women who are looking to have an extra-marital affair," the service makes no bones about its mission.
Life Is Too Short, Have an Affair with the Affair Guarantee Program for $249
Payment of $249 entitles the customer to participation in the "affair guarantee program," which pledges you to find "someone" within three months or your money back. To ensure that you keep up your end of the bargain, you must set up an attractive profile with photo, send at the very least 60 priority mail messages to different members, send five Ashley gifts, and engage in at least 180 minutes of instant messaging during that timeframe.
If after 90 days and 60 sex laced messages, five gifts and three hours of begging for attention and sexual favors there is still nobody to be found who willingly does the horizontal mambo with you, Ashley Madison, too, will throw in the towel, refund your money, and allow you and your battered ego to slink off.
If one may believe Noel Biderman, president of Ashley Madison, the Canadian agency has been in business for seven years and counts 2.5 million members. Your odds of finding a home wrecker for your purposes are better than average.
What Do The Numbers Say?
According to the statistics quoted by the Truth about Deception website, 30-60% of American married folks do buy into the idea that life is too short, and have an affair. Of those who do have extramarital sex, 2-3% will welcome a child into their lives that is the issue of the extramarital affair. Most women will not reveal their misstep to their husbands and thus the number of men unknowingly raising someone else's child is hard to guess.
It is easy to take the high road and look down your nose at the home wreckers, but consider that monogamy, once again according to the numbers, is an extraordinarily tough road to travel, and divorce statistics show that while rutting like bunnies is easy, maintaining a monogamous relationship with one partner till "death do you part" is a challenge to which the majority of marital partners cannot or will not rise.

well unproven statistics (regarding their happiness argument- http://btr.michaelkwan.com/2009/01/10/correlation-does-not-imply-causation/ ), and ignore the pain which most cases of infidelity directly creates, you're further compounding the problems in your life that led you here in the first place. Just simply break up with your partner! This company is rotten...but smart nevertheless-making money by exploiting the desire to believe such decisions aren't destructive. Sorry....they are.
This is laughable. An attempt to justify and rationalize extremely selfish decisions that shatter trust, break hearts and minds, cause tremendous psychological, mental and spiritual pain, leave potential children confused with baggage that will stick in their minds for decades, and much much more. But, of course this slogan is popular because many of those who have cheated would rather believe/rationalize/justify their actions with a cheap and overly simplistic philosophy about what they “deserve†(like every other marketed product, service, or idea), rather than actually reflecting on how their actions will affect their partner, their relationship, and their ability to be emotionally involved in that relationship. Cheating is extremely selfish, it hurts people, and its very easy to have the decency to (if you have the balls) break up with someone before pursuing other relations. If you believe this website's fast food philosophy, blindly believe their biased and well unpro
Hey,I go to living hope church in Vancouver Washington. Im 16 years old and my youth pastor spoke about this thing after our worship set one week. He said these simple words and well they made my heart drop.. Life is short. Have an AFFAIR. at that moment so many things started racing through my mind. then he said he was driving around the day before and saw a bill board that was promoting cheating on your spouse ....My life was once so good. My dad was one of the pastors of a local church in Vancouver .My family was everything to me. There are 12 of us kids. 6 boys ,6 girls and we grew up taught to be respectful and courteous to those around us. we sang songs before dinner as a family and helped all the people we could. my mom and dad were missionaries for idk 7 years i think..thats how they met. about 4 years ago i think my dad got a promotion from his dad.. you see my dad was very successful and made a good amount of money. he was a co owner of a family business called TIS.. look it
For some of us divorce is not an option, whether its for financial or other reasons. Some of us didn't sign prenups. However miserable our (my) marriage is doesn't mean I have to stay in the household. We stay married for tax reasons but have not even lived in the same state for 3 years. Its not all black & white morality issues here.
I applaud Ashley Madison for bringing this to the forefront of our societal awareness and not keeping it in the closet any longer. There were too many married people going on to singles sites and posing as singles. Now they have somewhere to go and tell the truth up front. People can take it or leave it from there.
Nice try, John, but no sale. You see, you are changing the premise. It looks like from "she ain't putting out" to "years spent in agony trying to fix an over marriage." If it's over, and you want to get some action, then get out of the marriage first. That's basic common decency.
So after trying for years to correct the marrital issues with no progress, both parties should live in misery and without sex for the rest of their lives til death do they part? Is that what you are suggesting? What a sad, sad life...
Thank you all for stopping by and for commenting. @John: "...why shouldn't the deprived husband or wife find what they need from someone else?" Uhmmm...because two wrongs don't make a right? Because maybe fixing what's wrong with the marriage might get the other partner in the mood for sex? Because risking bringing home who knows what kinds of diseases is not fair, either? Because possibly impregnating some homewrecker (or becoming pregnant by one) is going to go over like a lead balloon when time for confession comes? Just thinking...
As stated above, we men are pretty simple. When we are craving something we go get it. When married, our wives should be providing the sex. For all of you making comments from the Bible and Christian side, it is very specifically stated in the Bible, "A woman shall never deprive her husband of sex and a man shall never deprive his wife of sex unless both man and woman agree". When the husbnad or the wife is holding out for whatever agenda they have, they are the ones going against the "written Word". At that point, why shouldn't the deprived husband or wife find what they need from someone else?
Wow - this makes me so sad - because of the ease of meeting someone or even hiring someone on the internet - people are cheating more and more readily. The abundance of sexual ads that pop up and explicit advertising emails. I thought I was the only one struggling because of my spouse's addiction - I then found out my close friends sister was going through a divorce with her police officer husband for the same thing - internet hookups and porn addiction. I am so sick of this $hit & I want a divorce !
Life is short, so we should cheat on someone that loves us and sleep with some random person found on the internet to make the most of it?
If monogamy isn't for you, don't get married. Or have an open relationship, so it's fair on you and your partner.
The only problem here is aiming to deceive someone who cares about you, I hate cheats but don't think everyone should be monogamous.
This is for selfish people who want someone to come home to, and expects their partner to be faithful while they get the benefits of both. People like that are revolting.
