Looking For A Second Job?

Check out Honey Trapping! A growth field where you get to meet interesting people in casual social settings, flirt with them, and ruin their lives.

Martinez is a "honey trapper" -- or as he likes to call himself, an "integrity tester" -- one of a growing team of private detectives who are hired by wives, husbands or partners to test the loyalty of their loved ones.

"It's growing all the time," he says of his business, the Expedite Detective Agency (www.ex-da.com), which charges 300 pounds ($588) for an integrity test on a potential cheat.

Martinez refutes accusations of marriage-wrecking, arguing that his customers come to him when they are already concerned about their partner's fidelity or when rumors have led them to suspect an affair. But he admits around 80 percent of targets fail the test and turn out to be ready and willing to cheat on a partner.

I'm on the fence here. I guess it's an OK thing to do. But.

No matter what the motive for setting up your mate, the relationship is likely doomed. Either you're being cheated on, or you're a sick control freak who shouldn't be with that wonderful person who can't be induced to stray by a professional flirt.

At least they aren't sabotaging ordinary guys or gals with model-hot bait. They try to match the attractiveness of the Trapper to the Trappee. Which seems fair...er. I guess.
