I love social networking and new tech toys. I hate cheating.

Oh, digital gods, why must something I love enable something I hate? AshleyMadison.com is Match.com for married people who want to cheat on their spouses. And the site is making adultery easier and less traceable by making the site tools accessible via mobile devices:

AshleyMadison.com, a personals site designed to facilitate extramarital affairs, now boasts slick iPhone and Blackberry versions that help married horndogs find like-minded cheaters within minutes. The new tools are aimed at tech-savvy adulterers wary of leaving tracks on work or home computers. Because the apps are loaded up from phones’ browsers, they leave no electronic trail that suspicious spouses can trace.

Whereas Match.com tells single types they’ll “Find Love. Guaranteed,” AshleyMadison.com brags, “Join AshleyMadison.com for FREE and Have An Affair…Guaranteed!”

Shockingly, the site has 4 million members. But there’s something even more disturbing about it.

Not surprisingly, 70% of the site’s members are male.  I want to skip over that part. Men are cheaters, right? Nothing surprising there. Blah. Blah. Blah. What I found disturbing is this:

According to their profiles, 92% of males on the site are married or otherwise attached, as are 60% of female members.

Forty percent of the females on the site aren’t married! They’re just there to help married men cheat. What is wrong with these women? The AshleyMadison.com folks should buy the redirect link for IWantToBeAHomewrecker.com.

Thanks for increasing my anxieties about the possibility of  living happily ever after, Lisa.
