Our modern day Pinocchios

good idea: going to dinner with a friend of the opposite sex
bad idea: going to a dinner with a friend of the opposite sex and NOT telling your boy/girlfriend

Cheating doesn't have to mean you slept with anyone, people tend to only associate it with such. After watching King of Queens it made me think of the misconceived ideas of what is considered cheating. "I didn't kiss her," - but you are always talking on the phone?."We weren't together," - so kissing me and checking up on me means we're just friends? "It was only once," - once is more than what it should have been. "It was just dinner," - yes, that you never said anything about. It is possible that more than one of my friends have been in this situation. Cheating is cheating, crying for not breaching any physical activity will not help you out.

The thing about cheating is that it always lines up with lying. It is not bad if you rekindle a friendship with an old friend of the opposite sex, but please, just be courteous to tell your boy/girlfriend. It should be a natural act.

I am a sucker for blogging/bloggers/blogworl
d. Frankly, I am just interested in how other people think, and I personally don't think researched essays serve any justice to the human mind. Yeah? Anyway, this is what I stumbled across. From the editor in chief of Men's Health, mysteries of the sexes are further explained - anything and everything involving men, women and their relationships.

David Zinczenko writes about this more thoroughly of course, but here is the gist of it.


1. To fulfill his biology - blame it on Darwin (survival of the fittest & the food chair) and the preordained need for man to spread his seed. he cannot stop his urges due to biology knocking at his door. bs excuse, no?

2. To get the attention - another woman "showers him with flirtations, seduction and advances" so that he feels worthy of the asshole that he is. guys who are involved are most likely going to be a target, we want what we can't have of course. disclaimer; cheating is much more than having sex, LOVE has nothing to do with sex.

3. To get out - the wuss is just too scared to end it with you, he's too scared to be called a jerk. in turn, he is much too coward to end it with you the RIGHT way. this is the only way he can conjure to get out of it.

4. To change up his play list - you have your favorite song that you play over and over, however there are some songs that you haven't heard in a long time that you'd probably enjoy listening to. apparently, playlists need to be changed now and then. drawing the link between relationships and ipods. how naive of me to think that ipods are just for music and videos, how could i have been so silly...


just simply said, men, keep your belts buckled.
and women, keep your legs crossed.
