Cheating For Dummies

Those having trouble finding extra-marital affairs (seemingly a minute demographic) now have help. The web site greatloveseeker.com identifies itself as the "Discreet Dating Community For Married People, and for Single People that want to meet and date unhappy married people."

They offer the option of having an affair with a married woman or man, another if you're in a relationship and want to have an affair, telling you which link to press, as if those looking to cheat need mentoring and directions to figure out the right buttons to press.

The copy reads, "There are thousands of unhappy married women and men in every city." I would add there may be more now that the spouse can line up an affair without leaving the computer. It goes on to boast, "A great thing about this Discreet Dating Community For Married People is that there is no cost to join," a decided advantage over the Atlanta Athletic Club with its initiation fee of $40,000, the Los Angeles Country Club that charges $80,000 for a membership, and even Costco, where they want an annual fee of $50 to let me bag my own oversized, unwieldy purchases. It's easier and cheaper to have an affair than to stock up on toilet paper.

Greatloveseeker.com requires you to be 18 or over, perhaps to screen out underage political science majors who want to have an affair even prior to getting elected.
