Cheater, Cheater, Peter-Eater

So I'm cleaning out my spam email box this morning - something I'm forced to do regularly since finding a note from a very old friend in there - and I see a missive from Cassandra; subject line: "Meet up with lonely cheating wives in your area."

Are you fucking kidding me? This! This is what our holistic version of marriage and a lifetime commitment have come to? Spam mail linking men to actual sites where they can hook-up with married-but-willing adulteresses? I was completely horror-struck and disgusted. So...

...obviously I felt compelled to go have a look at what Cassandra was offering. How could the writer in me resist?

What I discovered is that for the low, low price of just $1, you can read personal ads accompanied by photos of, and contact information for, lonely wives today! Some just want to "chat," which I interpret as cybersex or sexting. Others are willing to meet a man anywhere for "relations" and relationships. I also discovered that apparently there are 4,649 lonely wives in the town one over from my own. Frankly, I think that explains a LOT!

Additional site links included: How to Cheat on Your Girlfriend and Not Get Caught: How to Cheat on Your Wife and Not Get Caught; and a list of lonely wife porn sites. My favorite was definitely International House of Wives. I don't believe bacon OR sausage was an option.

Clearly the next step here was to investigate sites where women could "meet up with lonely cheating husbands in your area." It took until page 5 of my Google search to locate a single site for women to find married men to cheat with... and it's located in the U.K. The first 4 pages were completely filled with sites and forums about how to catch a cheating husband or boyfriend.

Does anyone else see the disparity - the huge inequality here?

I browsed a few more Google pages for anything that looked like a dating site where married men could post their personal ads, but alas, it was not to be found. I'm not saying it doesn't exist; I just got bored looking for it.

Steve Harvey once said, "men cheat because there are women out there who will cheat with them." If ever there was a case to be made for his argument, it's right there in the black, white, and blue of your search engine.

I worked with a man once who said he only cheated on his wife with married women since the price for getting caught would be equal. I am appalled. Maybe I'll forward him the email...
