The Ashley Madison hack proves men are dogs. But the Ashley Madison service itself proves men are suckers. But even taking the numbers at face value, the ratio is abysmal.
There were about 28 million men and 5 million women in the account list, while the credit-card information belongs almost entirely to men. Ashley Madison confirms what we already know about infidelity. Men are much more likely to engage in it than women.
And men are much more interested in casual sex than women. Come on, people. Who does this? Only about 14 percent of ever-married women have had an extramarital affair during their lifetime, compared with 22 percent of ever-married men.
But in article after article and book after book in which women who engage in casual sex are interviewed β take the Vanity Fair article about Tinder earlier this month β the women are not happy. They are always desperately hoping that casual sex or even drunken sex will turn into something more. Plenty of married men lament that they are no longer able to go after anything with nice legs.

In fact, women are more likely to be the ones initiating divorce nowadays. But women know that casual or anonymous sex is not going to make them any happier. Research shows that women who have multiple partners are more likely to be depressed.
