Poll: Cheating

[Sun Flash]

Only in Grand theft Auto when I want to go on rampages, or turn into Godzilla in Saints Row 2.

Seriously? Never, it wouldn't be fair on them and I couldn't look them in the eye without feeling shit about myself. And it'd be hypocritical of me if I did, considering how I'd react to being cheated on.

 

[Odbarc]

I'm glad I read this thread before I voted. I thought it was a "do you cheat at games" deal.

I wouldn't cheat on my significant other. For one reason, I prefer committed relationships. I wouldn't have the time or energy to invest in two people. One of them most certainly would get the shaft and it would just work out better to not see the less attentive one. And considering that the one I am with will likely be giving (and thus also receiving) the most attention, there's no reason to even consider cheating.

If your thinking more of a, "We have a long distance relationship, should I have a one night stand from a chick out of town?" -- Well; Frankly that just sounds like using a woman's vagina to masturbate. That doesn't appeal to me.



However, I have a weird perspective on being cheated on.
Would you date and consider marrying a woman who has kids? (In the future, possibly not right now.) [If yes...]
Would it be any different if she cheated on you while you were seeing each other (or already married) and got pregnant from some other man?
I mean, if you had just met her later, she'd still be pregnant with the same man. Is the timing rationally worthy of being considered betrayal?

I don't cheat in game and I don't cheat in real life.

 

[guntotingtomcat]

It's not that difficult to dump a current girlfriend before you cheat, if the other girl is actually worth it.

 

[Alon Shechter]

No , because i will unconsciously take the Leatherman out and stab myself in the process.
Plus i have a girlfriend for 4 years now and i doubt that my utter love to her will ever be in an extremely strong status where i can still cheat. It is just too high for that.

 

[zerzxes]

Not sure, I usualy set my relationships so loose that it would be impossible to actualy cheat anyways.

 

[brunothepig]

No. Two reasons.
Because to me (and I know this seems weird coming from a teenager) sex means more if you love the person. So hey, why bother.
More importantly, even if they don't know what I did, I would. It would totally ruin the relationship. Again, why bother? Totally destroy the trust in our relationship?

 

[Denamic]

Anyone and everyone is capable of cheating on their partner.
Get in the 'mood' and reason goes out the window.
It's how our brains are built.
So yea, I am.

Never done so though, and I never intend to.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

No, I'm a horrible lier, and I get guilty about things. Also, I don't like sex, so I doubt I even would.

 

[Burningsok]

yes we are all capable of cheating, but we can all decide not to do it.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Unlike a few of the partners I've had, I refuse to sink that low. I don't manipulate the ones I love, and I won't stick around for someone I don't love. Funny thing is, I was propositioned in both of the relationships that ended with me being cheated on, and I declined every single time, even though they were generally more attractive than the girl I was with at the time.

If you can't fulfill your lust with one person, don't lead that one person to believe that you have any intentions of not breaking their heart while you reap all the benefits of their care and affection. To do otherwise is to be a deceptive piece of shit that never deserved the love or care of their partner to begin with.

It's also kinda disturbing how the mind of a cheater works. The whole human fallibility thing isn't what bothers me, it's that they can shift the blame of their actions entirely onto the person they cheated on, and actually believe it's true. Whether they pull some shit like "I wanted to break up, but I didn't want to hurt you, so you forced me into this" (because cheating on me before you break up with me is so much easier for me to cope with, right?) or "I was confused, you were holding me as an emotional hostage" (coming from a girl that had repeatedly rebuked me for trying to explore our emotions together... right)... just a total crock of shit excuse so they don't have to admit to themselves that they're worthless sluts that wanted their hand in my wallet until the very last second. They also love to tell all their friends that I was somehow the bad guy, so they won't be viewed as the skank that they are by their friends. One of them went so far as to tell her friends that I was abusive and controlling, so much so that one of her friends was threatening to call the police on me (she said it was for some other reason but I'm not a fucking idiot).

Anyway, my life actually improved considerably once they were gone. Since then, it's been nothing but short-lived relationships full of mutual respect and care. None of the drama and bullshit that came attached with the sluts in question. Life is good.

 

[Ghostkai]

No. Fucking. Way.

I couldn't look someone in the eye and say i loved them, or kiss them knowing what i have done.
Also it would be the ultimate break of trust.

Word for word.

Jeez, guys, (one's who happily cheat) how can you live with yourself lying like that to your partner over something so spiteful.

 

[TheTygerfire]

I immediately thought of cheating in games when I saw this on the front page...

>__< but no, I would never be unfaithful.

 

[VanityGirl]

No, I never would and it baffles me how people can.

People say "I love him/her" but then let themelves get put into a situtation where they cheat. It's just stupid.

If you truly care for (or even respect) the person you're with, you won't cheat.
End. Of. Story.

If you say "Well I'ma cheat cause I don't care about my boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/huband" then... maybe you neeed to leave them before you cheat on them.

Duh and Duh.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

First saw this and thought it was about cheating in games and thought that was a stupid question... >_>
But anyway, no, I could never do it... it just seems wrong to me... plus I already have a guilty conscience complex...

 

[Chase Yojimbo]

If i ever do get a girlfriend, yes, my sexual hormones will get the best of me and undress a random women in the street for a good look. However. If i were ever to have a girlfriend, thats as far as it would go, i believe that it is wrong that a man or women should cheat on their loved one. The only time that should be done is if you don't love this women, yet you love another women more, and i am not talking about lust here, im talking about love, straight out love *Or Homo love, its all the same*. I may be old fashioned but i do believe that love exists, and forever will believe it exists. Otherwise i would just be wasting my time in the hopes of meeting a beautiful red head who is smart, open minded... ya ill leave it at that.

The only type of cheating should be done on video games if its to hard or you are just getting bored.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

No I probably never would, I usually tell someone when I don't want to be around/hate them, I'm not the type to just stick around. The only way I could see myself cheating, is if I was planning to break up with a girl, then was propositioned by another, in a heat of the moment type thing. And even then, it's not so much cheating because I was going to break up anyways... sorta.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I have no idea what I am capable of. But I haven't cheated yet, and I don't plan to.

I'm extremely uncomfortable with even small lies these days, I have no idea how people live double lives.

Life's better when you are truthful.

 

[Wadders]

I've never cheated on someone, but I've cheated with someone. As in, I was the guy she was cheating on her boyfriend with.

I felt kinda guilty, and she did break up with him shortly afterwards (he's ok now, but I dont think she told him bout the cheating) and we carried on seeing each other.

So I guess it was worth it for the both of us in the long run

I guess that sounds nasty, but that's the way I feel about it.
