Ashley Madison is world-famous for its in your face style and marketing. This is a website that promotes cheating and they make no apologies for it. Recently, AM put out their annual non-monogamy glossary of terms. I received a copy of this from their PR people and replied back asking for a guest for the I-95 Morning Show. They got back to us right away and put us in touch with someone right at the top, the Chief Strategy Officer Paul Keable.

We'll get to the cheating dictionary but first I want to share what we learned from their Chief Strategy Officer Paul Keable. We spoke to CSO Paul on Friday (4/5/24). We had a lot of questions but we were most interested in Ashley Madison's presence in Connecticut.

What do your stats say about Connecticut users?

Paul: "What I do know is that if you're in Connecticut, we've seen a bit of a bump usually around July and August and that doesn't surprise me because we're based up here in Toronto, Canada so our weather isn't all that different. You only get a few months of really good weather where you can get out, get outside the house and do some extracurricular activities. So, Connecticut people are looking to sign up at a higher rate in the hot summer months compared to the rest of the year. Just so you know, Monday is the highest day for signups on Ashley Madison in Connecticut, 20% higher than the average. What's happening there is people have spent one more weekend at home, not getting what they want, be frustrated and they go into the office and they sit down at their computer and they go. You know what, I'm going to make a choice for myself and they sign up with us. It's amazing, I think there are a lot of people in a lot of different markets that come to us. We're in fifty-plus countries around the world but each little market has its own unique story as to what is happening behind the scenes and Connecticut is no different.``

How about some things that may surprise us...

 

Paul: "We're up to about 20% of our members that are in non-monogamous relationships that would not be classified as adultery. Meaning, their partners are aware if not actually involved in the extra curricular activities. I think that is a growing trend across Western civilization, people see that monogamy is not necessarily the default relationship style that fits for them. If you talk to the experts, non-monogamy is female led because they now have more options and choices. As we get closer to equality from a financial standpoint, we're not totally there but we are pretty close compared to 50-60 years ago. Women are saying hey, I've got options. If you're not delivering on my needs totally then I'm going to look elsewhere. It doesn't mean I am going to leave you but let's talk about it and let's be honest. Go look in the mirror guys, I'm 50 years old, women usually have an easier time getting a date than guys do. That is why I think non-monogamy, whether it's polyamory, open-relationships, a whole host of different options, is more than likely going to be female led as we go forward."

7 Worst Prisons in the State of Connecticut

If I was going to prison, I'd be worrying about everything. I'd want to know what I was in for and there are not a ton of resources available, I certainly would not have anyone I could ask for their experience. You need to know what danger level you're facing, what your day-to-day will consist of and what conditions are like. Most of all, you want to know if the place you're going to has a bad reputation. 

My recent TV binge of 60 Days In made me want to seek answers to these questions, I needed to know. I was able to find some helpful information from The Connecticut Bail Bonds Group.
