Romantics looking for love and committed relationships in Florida may want to think again or look someplace else.
The Sunshine State had the most cities with cheaters, according to Ashley Madison, the controversial Canada-based online dating and social networking service targeting people who are married or in relationships.
First place on the cheating hotlist goes to — wait for it — Orlando, which apparently is more than just a top destination for tourists.
“Orlando, home to the Magic Kingdom, now gives a whole new meaning to the ‘Most Magical Place on Earth’ after taking the number one spot on the list from last year’s winner, Seattle,” the company stated in a press release.
Tampa came in at No. 9, Hialeah — where small rent-by-the-hour motels dot several busy roadways — at No. 11 and St. Petersburg at No. 14.
“The Sunshine State is primed for some sizzlin’ summer lovin’,” the press release said.
Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that another survey this year ranked Hialeah as the most stressed out city, based on the number of tweets.
But back to the list by Ashley Madison, which uses the tag line “Life is short. Have an affair.” The company based its findings on the number of signups to its website between June 21 and Sept. 21, 2018 per 1,000 people. The company is known for matching singles and married people for dating and affairs.
After Orlando, the other cities rounding out the top five are Newark, New Jersey; St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Fremont, California.
“While most would assume that bigger cities probably produce more cheaters per capita, this data shows us what we were already aware of; cheaters are everywhere,” said Isabella Mise, Ashley Madison’s director of communications.
