France is a well-known "country of romance", and many girls have also written "going to France with their lovers" in the small book of their lives. However, many people are a bit "far away" from the "love with the French", in addition to cultural differences, there is also a concern about the "romantic nature" of the French - they seem to be easy to "split legs"?

gleeden is a French dating site focused on "extramarital love" and has gained a small reputation in recent years. The registered members of the site are all "married", and their purpose is also very clear - marital infidelity! Since 2015, gleeden has published a "peculiar" data every year: based on the number of people registered on the site by different city residents, the top ten cities in France with the highest "leg splitting rate" have been sorted out.
Which cities have been "honorably listed" this year? Come and take a look at it with Xiaobian

"Topped the list" is Lille, who has a registration rate of 29.01%! According to this ratio, almost 1 in every 3 Lille residents is a registered member of gleeden. This ratio really surprised the editor a bit.
Well, this list is for entertainment only, and there is no meaning to open a "map cannon"
In recent years, "extramarital websites" like gleeden have developed rapidly in France, especially in 2020, which is shrouded by the epidemic, and the number of registrations is rising.
"Derailment rate" under the epidemic
Surge?

Like gleeden, Ashley Madison is also a dating site focused on "extramarital love," whose staff said that in 2019, the site added an average of 15,000 new users per day; by 2020, the number of registrations per day could reach 17,000, and the "lockdown" period was also the "registration peak" for users.
Why does the "lockdown" lead to a surge in people's desire to cheat?
Experts explain that the lockdown has greatly changed the rhythm of people's lives, and couples who may have spoken face-to-face for no more than 2 hours a day have suddenly become 24-hour "sticky" together. Many of the existing problems have been magnified, and the long time together has also exposed many problems that have been covered up. Although many couples cherish this rare intimate time, many people still choose to cheat.

According to Ashley Madison's user analysis report, although many users choose to cheat because their "sex life is not satisfied", a full 84% of people say that extramarital affairs can greatly improve their emotions, just like walking and sports. There are even those who use "derailment" as a way to stay in shape and maintain their attractiveness during lockdowns.
Can say the reason for the derailment so grandly, Xiaobian only has two words: fu qi!
Female infidelity rate in France
Rising year by year
In everyone's cognition, whether men or women, cheating is not a glorious thing. According to a survey conducted by ifop in 2019, even in Europe, which claims "freedom and equality", the public's tolerance for "women's infidelity" is still lower than that of "male infidelity".

Researchers in the survey conducted a sample in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, and the results showed that an average of 76% of people thought that a woman's cheating was a "more shocking thing" than a man's cheating. In the five countries surveyed, the proportion was almost the same.
The rate of female infidelity in the five European countries surveyed (2019 data) compared with the male infidelity rate (2014 data). Dark data were for women and light data were for men.
The study also found that female cheating rates have increased in most countries compared to surveys 5 years ago.
Specifically, the rate of female infidelity in Spain rose by 2% (to 30%), and in the UK by 4% (to 33%), with France the fastest growth rate, rising by 5% (to 37%). Germany, on the other hand, had the highest rate of female infidelity among the five European countries surveyed (up to 43%), and was almost the same as the male cheating rate (46%). The only female infidelity rate to decline was in Italy, down 1 percentage point (33%), while Italy's male cheating rate was the highest in the 5 countries, reaching 55%.
Of the 37% of French women, 15% said they were still single but had cheated; 13% were married but not unfaithful to their current partner; 7% were unmarried but had a partner, and had been unfaithful to their current boyfriend but not at present; 2% were unfaithful to their current partner, that is, they were still in a state of "cheating".

What the hell is going on with the French
Looking at "cheating"?
Many people think that "romantic" French people are always less serious when it comes to feelings, and cheating does not seem to be a big deal in their eyes. According to an ifop survey, 63% of French people believe that "cheating" does not conflict with "loving their partner".
For the derailment of public figures, the tolerance of French society is indeed relatively high. At the funeral of former French President François Mitterrand, his mistress and illegitimate daughter attended the funeral. Instead of showing "indignation," French society saw it as a manifestation of humanity—Mitterrand's lover and daughter should attend the funeral, regardless of their legal status.

However, the French are not 100% tolerant of infidelity. They believe that "cheating" is not shameful, but "cheating" is shameful. That is to say, the French can tolerate their partner cheating "in the open", but they cannot tolerate themselves being "kept in the dark".
This is probably why "extramarital dating sites" are so popular in France?
But in fact, not all French people are so "open". In 2015, the dating site gleeden mentioned above planned a large-scale advertising campaign across the country, and this website can be seen on subways and buses. The French Catholic Family Association (AFC) took the site to court, arguing that it violated the "respect, loyalty, help, assistance" of article 212 of the Civil Code, encouraging and inciting "disloyalty" of people. The city of Versailles has also received nearly a thousand complaints about gleden outdoor advertising.
However, the Greater Paris Court ultimately did not accept the case. To avoid controversy, the Ile-de-France transport network eventually removed gleeden from advertising on all metro stations and on buses in the province of Evelyn, where Versailles is located.

Xiaobian has always believed that the matter of "cheating" is actually not too directly related to "nationality", but is related to "people" themselves. Perhaps from the data point of view, many European countries that advertise "freedom" have a high rate of cheating, but there are still many "single-minded" people. Dear friends in real life, don't be too blinded by the "big environment", or you have to talk about things
