AshleyMadison.com, an online dating website that targets married women and men seeking extramarital affairs, and claims not to encourage extramarital affairs, has put out a soft release to the press regarding its members in Chicagoland. Numerous media outlets are reporting the top neighborhoods and top suburbs with cheating spouses — facts allegedly gathered from membership queries.
1. Lincoln Park
2. Loop
3. Bucktown
4. Gold Coast
5. Armor Square
6. Hyde Park
7. Beverly
8. Arlington Heights
9. Oak Park
10. Naperville
Curiously, the website doesn’t publish their own statistics, but has leaked the data to the media — no official press release, just a pink map on their Facebook fan page (Chicagoland wasn’t up, as of Wednesday morning).
The website has also ranked top ‘unfaithful neighborhoods’ in Boston, Calgary, Cincinnati, London, Los Angeles, Ottawa, Sydney, Toronto, Vancouver
AshleyMadison is a pay website and service used to initiate contact with other members. Adultery ads have been banned by several ad venues, including the Toronto Transit Commission, NFL Super Bowl, and others.

“Didn’t work for me. I wasted $70 on the site for 1 response …
I tried Ashley Madison. Nope. Nothing but raggedy women who all think they are gonna get Brad Pitt. The site is supposed to be for affairs, but lots of the women are only after a relationship.
Fail.”
