No disrespect intended, however your post is pretty hilarious.
Ethics is probably not even a word in the operators of this sites vocabulary.
I think that the words they favored were money, money and more money.
Obviously, their entire venture was based on what most of us in developed countries find immoral.
Brilliant actually. The owners found a niche, and capitalized on it.
Yeah, they lied to their customers. Pretending to have available hook ups with non-existing persons. Gee, a website that promotes cheating isn't honest? Well, blow me down.
Such is the internet. An open door to real people, false people, false information, real information.
The married people, who made a vow with their partner to be true to them, but paid money for a hook up with another, just for sex, scare me.
This is not a little issue, or, a bump in the road of a married couple.
This is a huge deceit.
I am happily married for 25 years. If my husband were found out to be a payer on Ashley-Madison, I would kick him to the curb.
Why?
Because he's been lying and pretending. I don't think that a man or woman should be in a committed relationship with a partner who is lying and pretending.
Ever owned a lying and pretending dog?
So, do not call these liars and pretenders dogs. That's an insult.
Simply, my mate signs up for a go at a cheating website. Hooked up or not, I'm done.
Im really interested what will happen with the accounts exposed who had paid for their account to be removed. That seems very shady of AM to have done. Especially for a profit. That is just poor business ethics.
