More spouses paying 'honey-trap girls' to gauge husbands' fidelity

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspicious wives are increasingly hiring so-called "honey-trap girls" to purposely come on to their husbands to test their commitments to their marriages.

According to a report in the Melbourne Herald Sun, women are paying licensed investigators to flirt with their husbands to see how they will react.

"It's a very rewarding job. I love it," Amber confessed to the paper. She had just spent time with a client's husband in a bar. The man, married four years with two young children, gave Amber his telephone number before the evening was over.

"I never let them kiss me, and it's not entrapment because I never ask them for anything," she points out. Entrapment, where the woman initiates contact with the man, is illegal in the area Amber plies her trade.

The woman explained she "smiled in a flirtatious way" when the man first entered the bar.

According to the report, clients are paying thousands of dollars for such fidelity checks. In Europe, the Australian paper said, a company called The Honey Trap is advertising for attractive recruits.

Don Doolan, president of the Association of Investigators and Security Professionals, told the Herald Sun demand for such services is booming in Australia.

"These techniques have always been used, but in the past 10 years there has probably been a five-fold increase," he said.

The process involves getting the attention of the "target" and then waiting for him to make the first move. Doolan says that often happens in a matter of minutes.

"Most blokes think below their belly button," Doolan told the paper.

The manager of another service, Kirri Cleaver of Gotcha Enterprises, says 40 percent of the targeted men do not tell the female investigator they are in a committed relationship.

One investigator shared an even worse statistic.

"In our experience, subjects are innocent in only about 10 percent of cases," Dalla Riva is quoted as saying.

Said Cleaver:"Women don't want to waste their time, or be used or have their heart broken. You buy a house, you're going to have it checked for rising damp, but you get into a relationship and nobody asks any questions."

If I had a sweetheart who pulled that sort of stunt on me and I found out about it, she'd get the Righteous Boot Out The Door in a heartbeat. Relationships are supposed to be founded on trust. I could not live with any woman who bore that sort of distrust toward me. Such creatures can NEVER be satisfied with ANY honest answer, no matter how forthright you are!

That said, I wouldn't mind unleashing a few of these "honey traps" on Bill Clinton and the whole gaggle of Dumbocrat candidates...

I see no problem with this, quite frankly. To quote from the example cited in the article:

"She had just spent time with a client's husband in a bar. The man, married four years with two young children, gave Amber his telephone number before the evening was over."

Remain faithful to your marriage vows; don't let Mr. Winky do all of your thinking for you; and you have nothing whatsoever to worry about. In this, as in so many other instances: constancy and a few baseline moral standards are their own rewards, ultimately.

I saw a report on CNN about "infidelity" and one woman who knew her husband was cybering other women and sending pictures and in one case meeting them.

So she created an online persona for herself and lured him in and documented everything! What a moron...he was so busted.

What do the women do with the information if it comes back negative? Most of the time it will.....if they are that insecure about their marriage.....perhaps - all the time it will.

I wonder if Hillary hired Monica and Jennifer and .....

[Aracelis]

I agree that they are some folks out there (men AND women) whose suspicions can never be calmed, but in that event you're probably being subjected to some nasty controlling efforts by the individual anyway and should be out of the relationship.

For everyone else, you're either committed to the relationship or ya ain't. Judging from the experiences of these "honey-trap girls", I'd say there's a lot of uncommitted folks fibbing to their sweethearts.

I have found that women who have such a childish proclivity to distrust are themselves distrustful.

[I_dmc]

severe mistrust based on insecurity will eventually lead to the fear becoming reality, which, in most cases, is a sigh of relief. sad.

[leadpenny]

They could hire my ex.

'course she'd do the cheating.

[snopercod]

Maybe if men would get a little more attention at home, there wouldn't be the temptation to look elsewhere.

[R. Scott]

This seems to indicate that a lot of women equate “flirting” – or even just talking – with “infidelity”. There must be a lot of very insecure women out there.

Relationships are supposed to be founded on trust.

Fair enough, but what is trust founded on?

"These techniques have always been used, but in the past 10 years there has probably been a five-fold increase," he said.

A five-fold increase to what? This article is pure titillation and trumpets a nonexistent phenomenon. I contend women who would do this are few and far between.

[ovrtaxt]

If a woman hires one of these girls, and the guy is guilty, they deserve each other. I can't imagine a marriage based on anything but complete trust. What a stupid waste of time, if you commit your life to someone that you don't REALLY know.

An age-old excuse used by both sexes!

[Moonman62]

"In our experience, subjects are innocent in only about 10 percent of cases," Dalla Riva is quoted as saying.

That's 10% of husbands who frequently go to bars without their wives, not 10% of all husbands.

[anniegetyourgun]

"Most blokes think below their belly button," Doolan told the paper."

Is this true?

[Lazamataz]

If you EVER do this to me......

......then we will have progressed along nicely. :o)

[Young Rhino]

When various studies have shown that 10-15% of all children born to married women have a different biological father than the husband, one can safely say that this is an issue for both genders. Just imagine what the NOW gang and other feminazis would do if male models were hired to check out the faithfulness of girlfriends and wives.

The stats might be a bit tweaked by the fact that if a woman is suspicious enough to hire cheat-bait...she probably already *knows*...
