No, Jesus is likely saying, "Si señorita, show me your tatas!"

Just started reading this. Hadn't heard of it until your post. It's a fantastic read so far.

Wow I guess it's happening anyway. At this point, if I was on that list, I would just come clean to my partner rather than pay some scumbag. It's coming out whether they pay or not IMO.

I guess it true that the Devil exists and will do anything to get your soul.

I worked at Ashley Madison from 2008-2013. AMA - Reddit

I worked as a department manager for AshleyMadison.com from 2008-2013. I am happy to provide proof however I'd rather not specifically state what department I was in! I have lots of insane stories. AMA.

Edit: Verified by the mods.

In all honesty, it was one of the best companies I've ever worked for. They treated their employees very well - full benefits, salary pay for ALL positions (no matter how menial) and protection. Because of the nature of the business we received death threats daily and they took every single one seriously.

The morality of the company was something I personally struggled with, mainly because it's an x-rated site and seeing penises and vaginas 500 times a day became a little unnerving after a few years.

The sad truth is, there are a lot of lonely people in the world and we spent a lot of time just listening to our customers' woes. It was easier for me personally to justify my employment there because I genuinely felt like we were in some weird way helping these people. Most of them just really wanted someone to talk to.

It's true. Ahh, this is fun, so many memories are coming back to me. Here's the thing. Men on dating sites tend to be completely unrealistic. Most men expect the women to do all the work. It's like they think "hey I'm just going to put up a picture of my dick and my jacked up arms, write "sup ladies' in every section of my profile and just wait for the hotties to roll in." It doesn't work like that in real life and it doesn't work online either. 65 year old men would call and complain that none of the 19 year old models they wrote to replied. It's never fun having to crush a man's soul by saying "maybe try messaging a 40 year old one time and just see what happens..." They just refuse to accept that the 19 year old model might not want them.

I felt really bad for women over 40 on the site. They were invisible. But they were always the most wild and adventurous.

If men are honest, open, willing to talk to women before asking them to ####, post ANYTHING other than dick pics (no, putting your dick besides rulers, beer cans, pop bottles or any other inanimate object you feel the need to compare your dick size to is NOT a turn on for any woman anywhere) is a pretty easy way to get the most out of any dating site. You have to put some work into it, just like real life.

I wish people understood that a dating site can't fix crazy.

But seriously guys, stop sending pics of your dick to random women on the internet. I've seen it happen a million times and not once has it worked or resulted in any interest from a woman. Just stop.

Women, by far. They went crazy. It's hard to choose just one memorable story because (no exaggeration) we'd get at least one legitimately crazy wife harassing us every single day. I was called every name in the book. I had people threaten to blow up our office, kill my family, etc. It was terrifying.

Mainly the wives were pissed because we refused to confirm what they already knew. They'd have proof and beg us to just say "yes, he's on our site and yes he paid for a membership." But we never compromised our members' privacy.

It sadly ruined my impression of a lot of women, even being a woman myself. 99.9% of their madness could be solved by sitting down and talking to their spouses. Some women sent in pictures of their kids to try and make us feel bad. One woman had her young child (he sounded about 4 years old) call us to tell us we'd ruined his family.

Having seen some of taboo aspects of human nature when it comes to monogamy, would you ever get married?

I am married. The only thing it really changed my perspective on was sex in a marriage. It's so important to have a healthy sex life with your spouse, if you choose to be monogamous. Being monogamous shouldn't mean no one's getting laid. I don't ever remember seeing anyone on the site who was looking for a secret affair that also said they had a happy sex life at home. Every profile was the same... "My wife/husband doesn't like/want sex but I do..."
It's actually heartbreaking. People don't WANT to cheat, it happens out of necessity.

Kinda what I was getting at earlier. Not excusable, but certainly understandable.

Did anyone else notice her reddit name is "ImTouchingMyBoobsAMA"?

The only way it could possibly work if "both" decide/agree it's okay for her/him to seek sex ouside the marriage.

Just suggesting a possibility of where sex outside the marriage might work. That way the person won't feel like they are cheating.

Ahh okay, I get what you're saying. I think the problem is that generally the partner who isn't interested in sex doesn't think there's anything wrong with their behaviour, etc., so the suggestion of extra-marital sex comes off as offensive.

From the same link above, this is an example of what I was suggesting.

We had one guy I'll always remember. His wife was in an accident and stuck in a wheelchair, unable to do anything. She forced him to join the site and encouraged him to find a woman he could have sex with. He ended up finding partners that would last a couple years at a time and it worked very well for them.

Yeah, yeah that's it.

Two Ashley Madison clients reported to have taken their lives after hackers published their details - Canada police

[Coach]

What? People have a wide variety of reasons for having extra-marital affairs, or belonging to the site in general, and aren't exclusively "muhahaha I'm cheating because I'm an ####### and that's all there is to it!"? AND people are reportedly taking their own lives after having their most embarrassing and potentially life-wrecking secrets exposed in a public fashion?

Who could have seen these things coming?!

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Are the chances of them finding the dudes who did this effectively 0%, or is there any reasonable possibility?

[Fuzz]

Sounds like they suspect an insider, which increases the chances significantly of finding who did it. Of course, that depends on how good their IT dept is.

In case you are checking to see if email/information has been compromised (for a friend).
