When it comes to cheating spouses in the United States, New York City doesn't even rank in the top ten (at least according to terrible website Ashley Madison). But that doesn't mean we don't have cheaters. Top hoods to find cuckolds in the city? As we learned from The Squid and the Whale, that would be Park Slope. But if you go beyond the five boroughs, the most cheaters are in Great Neck.
To come to these startling conclusions the cheating focused website analyzed the roughly half-million users it has in the greater NYC area. Here are the top ten:
As for other things gleaned from this truly important piece of research? Members of the site with the most kids live in Park Slope (No! Really!), Forest Hills has a lot of single ladies looking for married men, Howard Beach residents are the most consistently active users in the city and people in Great Neck really like to spend time having "fantasy dates" on the site. So now you've got some great conversation starters next time you're out on a hot adulterous date!
