Turns out 71% affairs happening through an extramarital dating website will start in January, with 9 January being by far the most popular day to sign up.
Well, Blue Monday may not be a real thing but feeling down in January is a well-documented phenomenon. While it’s not an excuse for immoral shenanigans, it does sort of make sense that extramarital affair website, Gleeden reports a 320% increase in new users over January.Apparently you’re most likely to cheat when you’re 39 and more likely to be cheated on if your dad cheated on your mum, and now it’s been revealed that 9 January is the day you’re most likely to be cheated on.
Gleeden is a dating site for married people. It’s a website kind of like Ashley Madison (remember them?) but Gleeden is run entirely by women. With over 3 million members, they describe themselves as the number 1 dating site for married people, and ‘a specific platform to safely get in touch with cheaters worldwide’. Oh, and there’s also a Gleeden app for mobile, so that’s nice.
Gleeden used all the information at their disposal to determine the most popular day for new memberships and therefore, the day most likely for a new affair to start.The second Monday after Christmas is the busiest day on the site and the Daily Mail reports that 52% of people join in an attempt to ‘regain their freedom’ after the Holidays.Nothing like the holidays for bringing people so close together it tears them apart.
