Neighbourhood affairs: Where the cheaters are in Toronto

They handle your investments, run your favourite restaurants and hang out in the same country clubs lurking in the shadows (or high class luxury suites) stealing kisses and lying about it like school kids in love. Toronto the good? More like Toronto the naughty…

New data collected from the 200,000 member of extra-marital affair site AshleyMadison.com – an unprecedented hookup hub that could only exist in the Internet age – show record numbers of cheaters walk among us.

The mansions of Forest Hill (new reality show perhaps?) are fertile ground for the unfaithful, with the Toronto neighbourhood trumping the list of most affair-seekers per capita.

Money and affairs seem to go better then some married couples with many of the cities the site collected data from showing more cheaters in the rich neighbourhoods.

“The proclivity to cheat often goes hand in hand with opportunity,” AshleyMadison.com founder and CEO Noel Biderman said in a statement. “Those with discretionary income and freedom to travel are even more likely to stray.”

Take a look at the top cheater havens in Toronto and tell us money isn’t at least a part of the equation.

High Park hijinks hold the second spot, while sexy scandal seeped rendezvous by the lake in The Beaches neighbourhood, sit in third. Rosedale is next, followed by Downtown, Yonge and Eglinton – where cheaters seem to be the most promiscuous having the highest amount of affair partners according to the data – North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough and Liberty Village.

Maybe it’s the “black-out” time that comes with affluence. The long hours spent “working” and “golfing” with the buddies or having the nanny look after the kids while you head to the spa for a quickie – after all 45 per cent of Toronto’s unfaithful are female, about 39-years old on average.

Either way, Toronto isn’t alone. Canada-wide the site boasts 1.9 million affair-seekers, or rather 1.9 million divorces waiting to happen.
