Does anyone else find this reprehensible?

I was looking for some porn on the internet (shame on me) and I stumbled across this. The Ashley Madison Agency (don't worry it isn't porn)

Am I the only one who just lost even more respect for love after seeing this? Does anyone else think that the existence of a site like that is just plain wrong?

Yeah, there's no reason for that to exist. People who propagate such things are not happy with life. I pity those that would need such a service.

Over 1 million members! What does that say about America?

Very Odd. I find such a site repulsive.

yeah that is low.

It's a sick and sad concept.

Why would you lose respect for love after viewing that site? That site has nothing to do with Love. Its about cheating and one night flings. If anything it should make you lose respect for the members of the site. Though from what I have read cheating on one's lover is quite common, though I think its morally wrong. Something like 45% of people cheat. I had someone cheat on me multiple times. It's wrong, but it does happen way too often.

Sex isn't love.

It's gross.

The ONLY saving factor I can think of regarding such a site is that at least, the people who join will KNOW the other person is married. Sometimes the married one can be very clever about fooling their new 'boyfriend/girlfriend' into thinking they're single! Now THAT to me, is even worse. Because not only is that person cheating but is lying to both their spouse and their new - whatever.

No, strike that, it's gross in any scenario.

I'm married and it is not easy or always fun, but this would only complicate and make things worse and would feel gross and awful. Not to mention, it would also be wrong and very hurtful.

But I highly doubt Americans fool around on the side, more than other nations. Some nations practically brag about it or expect married men to have a mistress!

It does seem odd. I mean, there seem to often be opportunities to fall into an affair - so I'm guessing that this is all for the so called, "zipless ****" (sorry - not sure of forum rules yet - but I know most of the site is family friendly), propagated by Erica Jong. But you know, to each it's own.

50% divorce rate, 300 million people, not nearly that many adults, but you can check census data and do the math yourself

If you look back in time you will see only in recent years are married people "suppose to be in love". Throughout most of history marriage is an arrangement and I still suspect it is in the US even today. These days its an arrangement between where one takes care of mechanical things and the other does household chores, etc. Or its a way for the male to get sex and the female gets babies; each gets what they honestly wanted. You know that song "What's Love Got to Do with It?" A lot of married people aren't in love and never were. Still I'm not saying that website is right. I'm saying wisen up to the truth behind the majority of relationships. Love is grand, but love truly is rare.

Plus, it's not enough. I learned it the hard way. My wife was losing her mind, and her love for me just wasn't strong enough to continue. I still love her, but am not sure that I'd want her back all of the time. There was one woman I loved (she's dead now) whom I would never have wanted to live with.
