Survey Says: This is the New Typical Cheating Husband

If you’re 35 years old, married four years or less, work in the financial industry and prefer using your mobile device over your desktop, chances are you’re cheating on your wife.

Not that I’m accusing you of anything. But according to a recent survey of over 57,000 men who responded to questions on AshleyMadison.com, the “dating” site for people looking for a little strange outside of their marriage, that guy described above is typical of some of the new trends in cheating.

And if you don’t think boredom and lack of sex will drive a guy with kids into the arms of another woman as fast as he can log on, consider this: The day after Father’s Day, AshelyMadison saw a 265% surge in new memberships. Over 27,000 men joined that day looking for a discreet date. That’s a lot of disappointed dads…

So what does the new typical Cheating Dad look like?
– 83% are fathers with at least one child.
– 64% are married only 1-4 years.
– 53% logged on using AshleyMadison’s mobile app. (So the wife doesn’t stumble across his extra curricular activities on the family computer.)
– 32% work in the financial industry. (That’s more than 10% higher than the next closest industry.)
– 73% are in sexless marriages. (That means sex less than 10 times per year.)
– 91% use AshleyMadison because they don’t want to leave their marriage because of their children.

And according to the survey, most men meet their woman-on-the-side in a hotel between 5pm and 9pm. Which means the old standby, “Honey, I’ve got to work late tonight” is still the go-to cover.
