7 in 10 unfaithful women will be spending the 13th of February with their lover this year. And what\u2019s more, 74% will use going out with friends for Galentine\u2019s Day as an excuse.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A study conducted by\u00a0Gleeden, the leading site in Europe for extramarital dating with almost 5 million members, had already found out\u00a0that the most common excuse used by women<\/a>\u00a0who want to see their lover is \u201cgoing out with friends\u201d (66%).<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a013th of February\u00a0is therefore the perfect excuse for every woman who wants to celebrate an alternative type of Valentine’s Day with her lover:\u00a0the Galentine’s Day excuse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Galentine\u2019s Day: from TV to reality, here is how the day for ladies to celebrate ladies was born<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Nine years ago, the 16th episode of the second season of the extremely popular sitcom\u00a0Parks and Recreation<\/i>\u00a0was aired. In that episode, we could see a very busy Leslie Knope (Amy Poeler) organising her annual “Galentine’s Day” party on February 13th,\u00a0to celebrate the important women of her life.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Without realising it at the time, they made history. From that day on, in a more or less official way, the idea of a day for\u00a0“ladies to celebrate ladies”<\/b>\u00a0– especially the day before Valentine’s Day – seemed so legitimate that it was soon adopted all around the globe, including in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why on the 13th of February women (or gals, get it?) of every country have jumped on board and started celebrating each other. Pure girl power, right? But what if behind all this enthusiasm, there was a second, less “noble” motivation?<\/span><\/p>\n

February 13th is Valentine’s Day for lovers: 7\/10 unfaithful women will see theirs that day<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Tradition has it that\u00a0<\/span>February 13th is also the so-called “Mistress Day”,<\/a>\u00a0or the day clandestine lovers celebrate their relationship (because official couples celebrate that on actual Valentine’s Day). And of course, on that day, lovers from all over the world need an excuse to see each other.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how\u00a0clever ladies took advantage of Galentine\u2019s Day,<\/b>\u00a0the increasingly popular holiday. What\u2019s a better excuse than the day dedicated to girlfriends to meet up with another kind of friend? As Leslie Knope put it,\u00a0\u201cit’s only the best day of the year\u201d!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

As expected, the new survey conducted by Gleeden confirms that trend:\u00a071% of unfaithful women will find a way to spend a few hours with their paramour on February 13th. The excuse they will use? 74% already know for sure: “baby, I’m going out with my friends tonight”!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
