When It Comes To Relationships: North Dakota Is A Bunch Of Cheats

50% of ALL Women Have a Backup Plan as a Partner

Ladies, don't shoot the messenger on this one. This is something I've read in articles and seen shown on social media pages over and over. I'm certainly not saying that women cheat more than men, but it appears they tend to have someone in the hopper just in case, compared to men. Ah, relationships, such a complicated mess, and to be honest, it can be exhausting.

Speaking of Cheating

The website that has made cheating easier than ever is Ashley Madison, and new data from that site analyzed the search volume for Ashley Madison-related terms. Babestation conducted the research and looked specifically at searches for Ashley Madison, the married dating app, and calculated its average number of monthly Google searches per 100,000 citizens in each state. This is how they came up with the data for the states most likely to cheat on their partner.

Guess What? North Dakota has a BUNCH of Cheaters!

According to the data, North Dakota ranks #2 nationally for Ashley Madison searches, with 412 monthly Google searches per 100,000 citizens. We only trail Colorado (and not by much) with 474 searches per 100k. The state with the least amount of cheaters is Mississippi.

How did our surrounding states do around us? Montana came in at #6, followed by Minnesota at #11. South Dakota has the most faithful people in our region, coming in at #39.

Once again, this study was conducted by the UK’s longest-running and most popular interactive television called, Babestation. You can find out more there, but probably not safe for work. You have been warned.
