Married and Dating?

With all this talk of online dating, let me assure my married readers that just being in a committed relationship does not mean that there isn't a website for you. The most famous (or infamous depending on your point of view) is AshleyMadison.com which specializes in online dating for married people. The thought of this site's existence brings many irate comments on various blogs where it is mentioned. Obviously, infidelity of a spouse is painful to say the least, but in spite of this fact AshleyMadison boasts close to 3 million members.

"Infidelity is a fact of life and we do not judge the many reasons why people sign up for their free Ashley Madison membership," said AshleyMadison's founder Noel Biderman. "Services like Ashley Madison did not invent the behavior of infidelity. Instead, www.AshleyMadison.com provides a safe and successful platform for those individuals who've decided to proceed down this path."

The site's demographic is 70 percent men and 30 percent women. The average male member is in his mid- to late-30s or early 40s and has been married five to 10 years. According to the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, approximately 50 percent married women and 60 percent of married men will have an extramarital affair at some time in their marriage. This being the case, Noel Biderman (who describes himself as happily married with children) has seen a need in the market and filled it. Interested?
