I like how the headline here used the word “sad” when describing the scam.
We can joke about it all we like, and I’m as quick to make snarky comments as anyone, but (weirdly) it’s not much of a relief to know that millions of lonely guys in loveless marriages weren’t actually using this service to have affairs.
Maybe there’s some other metric involved here, some biological or sociological reason it was almost all men trying to cheat (or maybe they weren’t even all married, just taking advantage of what they thought were wives cheating on their husbands, like that was a particular turn-on for them), but this kind of thing emphasizes how many lonely people there are out there.
Be thankful for what you’ve got, don’t let it drift away.
