How does anyone know that anyone on any of these sites is in fact actually married? I'm sure these sites have a large percentage of unmarried people(especially men)thinking they're an easy way to get into an nsa type relationship.Just wondering ?????

There are many other sites focusing on this now. VictoriaMilan in Scandinavia. IllicitEncounters in the UK. They have given marrieds a home so they don't need to lie about their status on mainstream dating sites.

Ashley Madison was the 1st "married dating site", then other dating companies saw how much money that Ashley Madison was making in this untapped niche tons of companies jumped on board, it's crazy.
