A man would have to be either totally ignorant, crazy or just that hard-up enough to willingly place such a noose of culpability around his own neck.

[Melas]

Both. My initial reaction was based on a couple of scandals that shut down some of Match.com’s competitors several years back, ie paid female employees posing as potential dates. Then just a couple hours worth of research turned up similarities to striking to ignore:

Pay to contact
Pay to receive messages
Pay to chat
Pay to send virtual baubles
Pay to send flirts (whatever those are)
Pay to see who sent you a flirt
Pay to send winks
Pay to see who winked at you

Then AM takes it a step further by owning/running pseudo sites like ashleymadisonscam.net. that leads the searcher into believing he’s reading third party information, but it’s really a commercial for AM.

Same for Ashleymadison.org, ashleymadisonsucks.com, ashleymadisonreviews.net, ashleymadisoncheating.com, ashleymadisonsucks.info, etc etc.

All use varying methods of deception, from guys who said the site doesn’t work, only to find out they still had credits and SCORE...to wives lamenting that they lost their husbands to AM...and just when you’re ready to shed that tear tell you how they got themselves back into shape and now they’re looking for hot married guys on AM too.

In short, they bought the first 6 or so search engine pages to keep the poor saps from uncovering the truth. I had to search with some legalese to find the following disclaimer which exists as their legal protection against fraud. It also confirms my theory my satisfaction.

From time to time this service may include, offer, or initiate winks, collect messages or instant chat from Market Researchers (Online Hosts) simulating attached or single men or women. These efforts are conducted for market research and/or customer experience and/or quality control and/or compliance purposes.

So, they’re admitting it in the fine print hoping that no one will ever notice.

I think Melas just proved why Freepers are smarter and better investigative reporters than professional journalists!

Great job, Melas!

[Melas]

Couldn’t be that it costs a lot of money to pay the gals who’re baiting the guys to spend more on the service could it?

[Melas]

Thank you. I admit it, I work in the bicycle industry, so I have nothing but time to kill in February.

[bvw]

That makes sense, phonebanks and billing services too. Also, I’m assuming “upstreams”.

[Melas]

Explain. I would have thought bars would be a far more likely place. At least that’s where the affairs I’ve actually heard about in real life started.

[Melas]

safe assumption.

[nascarnation]

Is Bill Clinton on their board of directors yet?

LMAO and thinking he's there for the employee discount.

[Luke21]

I don’t know anything about this particular enterprise, but online dating sites in general have been accused of hiring fluffers—women who aren’t really interested in anything but play the role to keep the men spending money.

Common sense tells me that if AM was actually facilitating affairs, they’d go broke. No, my money says that they string these suckers along for a very long and very expensive ride.

********************************************************

This seems like high rolling idiocy for people who not only want to cheat, but want to do so while living on the edge.

[redgolum]

What a sick man.

[Melas]

There is no sucker like a socially inept male. Internet dating sites have been preying on them for years. The only difference here is that wink-wink you don’t have to lie and pretend to be single to be bilked out of your paycheck. It’s really sad.

[Tax-chick]

Fascinating research and analysis. Help yourself to a Guinness and a kitten!

[buccaneer81]

Personal experience, myself and several of my friends. In my job, we often spend more time with our co-workers than with our spouses during the week. I see a lot of “emotional infidelity,” aka crying on the shoulders of the opposite sex. That will do it every time.

[dfwgator]

No thrashing from me.

[GOPJ]

Biderman’s wife, Amanda, seems unconcerned about both the business and her husband’s chosen role as the captain of the adultery industry. In a statement of almost complete moral evasion, she says: “Really, the business itself doesn’t match who he is as a person — it’s not our lifestyle or value system or any of that.” Well, here’s a clue: if you conceive, establish, and run the business, it is your value system.

"Amandas" are the perfect type of wives for men who want to fool around... A secondary business might be to help men find the perfect 'amanda" ...

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Thank you for making my point so brilliantly. Talk about stepping on your own land mine!

[Morpheus2009]

I may get thrashed for saying this...

No need to worry about this phrase, honestly, it’s true. Hopefully this guy confesses and turns his life around before he has to meet the highest judge there is, because hell is a rotten place, as we all know.
