Washington D.C. is ranked as the most unfaithful city in the U.S. for a second year running, according to data from the cheating site, AshleyMadison.com.
According to a press release from AshleyMadison.com -- a dating site for married people looking to cheat -- D.C. was recently named "America's Least Faithful City" for the second year in a row. The title was based on data collected by the infidelity website, which found that D.C. had the highest number of sign-ups per capita in 2012, boasting 34,157 new members. Two Texas cities -- Austin and Houston -- came in at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
The founder and CEO of the site, Noel Biderman, said he it makes sense that D.C. is again at the top of the list.
"With enormous public attention paid to political cheating scandals this year, including the Gen. Petraeus affair, there was no doubt that Washington residents would be influenced," he said in a press release. "Living in D.C., it's crucial to keep up appearances and therefore adultery has become a way of life for many of the city's most powerful residents," he said in the statement.
Ashley Madison is gearing up for more business this week as Valentine's Day rolls around. The site claims that the day after Valentine's Day is one of their busiest days every year. In 2012, the site saw a 439 percent increase in membership signs-ups on February 15 (as compared to the typical number of daily sign-ups), with married women largely driving the spike.
