Who would thrash you for this? The cliche of "I can do whatever I want as long as I don't hurt anyone" is the slogan for those unable to face their own failings.
He may indeed provide the service in question, but there is deception on so many levels, not only with his own company's image and services, but also inducing deception on the part of AM's "customers" - that there can be no good to come from this.
In a nutshell - exactly!
No. The only real way to improve your search engine standing is to pay for it. Businesses pay out the wazoo for search engine standings. Google is also very good at parsing. You can misspell a popularly searched site like AM to hell and back, and it will automatically provide you with the correct search results.
Here’s something that most folks don’t know. Fidelity rarely figures into a divorce. You don’t get more stuff because your spouse was unfaithful, and they don’t get more of your stuff if you were unfaithful. If custody isn’t disputed, you don’t even have to physically appear in court most states. Everything else is done by the numbers.
I wonder if the wife of the Mafia hitman up the corner from where I grew up would ever say, “It’s a business.”
What a crazy attitude some people have! It never fails to amaze me. Even though I grew up in a rough neighborhood I took certain standards of morals and ethics for granted. IT AIN’T EVER FOR GRANTED!
Never take the standards of morality, ethics, modesty and decency for granted. They have to be worked on all the time, re-inforced, taught, celebrated, protected.
This “business” will be taken down in time, I’d hope. Some big dog Divorce Lawyer representing one or a class of complaintants will take everything the happy “Adultery Inducing” business couple have.
I’m telling you, it’s a fraud. If AM were really hooking people up it would go broke. You’d sign in, pay your monies get phone numbers, and never need AM again. Instead, you pays your monies, you talk to the fake girls who flirt and tease, but just don’t know you well enough to give you their number yet, and will no doubt become “involved” with some other member by the time she does know you well enough. So, you pays more monies and repeat until you’re broke.
In the space of an hour, I’ve already seen that AM owns half the sites that supposedly review the service. This isn’t about adultery, it’s one big con game. Possibly even more evil, they’re preying on lonely and/or frustrated men.
I think adultery has failed.
It brings heartache, sexual disease, abuse, and children who, if they survive, are handicapped by the absence of a proper family.
What does “failure” mean to this man?
He probably also has sharp lawyers, ready to pull out the legal doctrines about contracts to commit acts that violate law or public policy (hint: the words "not worth the paper they're printed on" figure prominently) and explain to any dissatisfied customers that they've forked over their money for nothing and there ain't a damn thing they can do about it.
Thank you. I’m starting to really see how it works though. So far, you’re the only person who sees the fraud here. Everyone is in anguish over the adultery, and I suspect there is very little actual adultery happening because of this website.

What can I say? Love, fidelity, commitment, trust, loyalty - these all mean nothing to the owners and users of this enterprise. As you sow, so shall you reap - it's the immutable law of karma. And promoting evil earns the same reward as practicing it yourself.
current cover story of Bloomberg Businessweek ... describes AshleyMadison.com as “the premier ‘dating’ website for aspiring adulterers.” ... grosses $60 million in yearly revenue and produces $20 million in annual profits.Yeah, it could be what you say. I agree with the theory, but the article is a cover story in a reputable business magazine -- you might want to buff up your claim a bit, evidence-standards-wise.
Oh you know it. I’ve done more checking and I’m more convinced than ever that I’m correct. It costs X dollars to see a profile, X dollars to send an email, X dollars to receive an email, X dollars to chat with the potential mistress. Potential mistress of course being the woman who’s being paid to string the sucker along to spend dollar after dollar on emails and chat by the minute. Poor bastards are too stupid to realize that if the woman on the other end was real, she’d save herself some cash too and just make phone contact.
Our society has a few problems.
I guess she hasn't considered the possibility of him being good enough to keep his affairs secret. After all, he is good enough at that to make is a multi-million dollar business.
INO, adultery is almost always a product of the workplace.
It doesn't work that way. 90% of the time, no matter which spouse cheats, the wife walks away with the house, the kids, and a big monthly check.
Take my word for it.
I hope he has a good legal department. ANYONE who uses that service is subject to the discovery rules. Private investigators probably have an entrapment field day.
Remember, toll pass records are used in divorce cases now as sop.
This website is just an internet version of the no-tell motel only with less security.
You are spot on.
That's VERY high overhead costs for a web site like this purports to be. Maybe Bloomberg's division needs to add some basic business analysts?
