There’s No Honor Among Cheaters

By Datecoachtoni @CoachToni

There are a couple of cautionary tales to this story. One is that some websites lie outright and others play with the truth through omissions, false promises- and sexy and untruthful marketing. The second is that if someone is capable of lying to someone else, they will do the same to you if it was in their best interest.

Ashley Madison is a website created for married people who want to cheat on their spouses. Apparently it is doing well and growing. A new Portuguese language version of the site was being launched and its creators hired a woman to write fake profiles of sexy, beautiful women that would draw lots of male users. According to this employee her job required her to write 1,000 fake profiles in three weeks and she is now suing Ashley Madison due to a disability caused by the enormous amount of keyboarding she had to do. The employee, Doriana Silva is seeking a total of 20 million to compensate for her being used this way for their enrichment and 1 million for general damages. According to Silva, she had no idea that what she was doing was deceitful; instead she believed it was a normal practice in this industry.

So, we have a website designed to help married people cheat, a company making large profits by providing a service that encourages and enables infidelity, and an ex-employee who says that she had no idea the 1,000 fake profiles she wrote were wrong and should be better compensated due to their high profits and the harm she suffered providing all those fake profiles to deceive potential users.

The suit was filed last year but is caught up in legal limbo. Best case scenario, they would go broke from the suit and all the bad publicity- and this woman would be truly unable to keyboard again. If you are thinking about cheating due to boredom, a lack of good sex, or any reason someone would cheat rather than get a divorce- consider your next moves carefully. You could end up with a fake new lust object and a marriage headed to divorce court.
