I thought that with (at least several of) such sites it had been established that the female profiles were largely fakes / bots, that would string the guys along so they didn't lose hope and depart from the service, while of course never actually agreeing to go out with anyone.
I fortunately don't have to pay much attention to such things, having been happily married for the last 27 years. But it does seem rather odd to open a service for international affairs. Aren't you by definition missing out on the main perk of an affair if you don't actually meet up? Or do both partners buy and, er, install certain remotely operable devices?
In ye early days of internet and personal email, I used to be 'showered' with 'invitations' from seemingly comely East-European ladies desperate to send me their 'photo'. Fortunately, I grew up in the era when those sporting ladies were 'game' but rather unladylike and likely not ladies at all.
And I've been pestered by a number of African Princes/Chiefs/Government Ministers desperate for help in retrieving huge piles of honest-cash.
And the time-share apartments I have missed out on! What was I thinking?
Fortunately, my long-term supervisor has a firm grip of reality despite her enthusiastic, confused husband. She knows I know who butters my bread if you get my drift.
Eki is train station. So this is clearly a dating app for train spotters.
My mobile number is an extremely repetitive series of numerals. So people often use it by accident to make restaurant reservations etc. without giving their real number.
I honestly thought the Ashley Madison data breach and the fallout would have tanked the company. Apparently not it's still a thing.
And the copy on site with females justifying their desires for indiscretion? How could it be anything other than a secondhand sausage party past that paywall!
The UK version of Blind Date is what happens when a perfectly innocent US idea collides with the world of Larry Grayson, Frankie Howerd and "Are You Being Served?". I suppose double-entendres are cheaper to pull off than having Jim Dale crash through a window and surprise a buxom young lady in the bath, as the Carry-Ons would do. The film version of "Up Pompeii" was stunt-free and entendre-rich, and would have been a bore except for sterling performances from Michael Hordern et al.
I see that "Jeopardy" is now a British show, with none other than the sardonic Mr. QI himself, Stephen Fry, at the helm. No sign of Andrew Davies., unfortunately. Perhaps the "answers" will be festooned with double or treble meanings, and it will be up to the contestants to match with lewdly leading questions. I mean, a straight quiz show after "Weakest Link"? Will they care in Neasden?

I ALWAYS cancel said reservations.
Eki, isn’t that the Japanese abbreviation for ancient Lancashire martial arts called Ecky Thump??

I wonder if Cilla ever had a serial killer on her show? This French presenter did:
