I was an insecure ass once, and a fifteen-year-old with condoms in pocket. But I didn't think "cheat" and perhaps I wasn't really - these were girls simultaniously angry and clingy trying to clue me in to their established fact I loved them. No, I didn't. I was strictly on my own those nights.

What is wrong with being insecure? Do we all have to be perfect?

Well, no, but we should try to be considerate of others.

As they are always considerate of us?
Like respect, you'll get mine when you earn it. If you are not deserving, don't ask for it.

That's the usual defensive stance : "me" against "them".
You know, not every person that is not "you" is not the same "them" than everyone.
It's not because a person did hurt you, that another one living one hundred km away is responsible in any way.
Which means that, as you did nothing to gain my respect, I've the right to spit on you, stab you and act like a bastard with you.
Only if you get my respect I'll have the moral obligation to consider you deserving a correct behaviour.
That's walking on the ceiling...

It IS me against them. Look out for number one. God helps those who help themselves.
I won't go out of my way to be a jerk but I won't go out of my way to be polite either. More quick to be a jerk than otherwise if you piss me off. I won't stab you or spit on you. But I certainly won't consider you deserving of correct behavior if you don't deserve it either. One reaps what one sows.

Bleh.
Contradicting yourself.
If one reaps what one sows, then you should not be a jerk UNLESS the person has already proved herself to be deserving a bad treatment, which goes directly against your "me against them".
Just admit your use this "it's their responsabilities" to justify your bitterness against the rest of the world
well another one who misread the poll and voted yes, i thought it meant games, school, homework etc and i think everyone has done it to some degree, however on the women front, never have and never will (and i'm one of the older ones on the board)

Well, if you're in a relationship, and they haven't cheated on you, then they have earned the considation.

Akka - you suck. 
I don't know... If I got into a relationship today with some girl, she would not have my trust. It would take some time for her to earn it. Which will never happen as she will go cheat or we won't last more than a few weeks.
Archer - When is the time cutoff? At what point is she 'cheat-free'?
Hell I'm in no mood to be in a relationship. Even if it had a chance to work, I would not see it or ruin it myself. I'm too bitter and cynical. I wasn't and things happened to make me this way. I don't know what it would take to reverse that.

I see what you mean but still think Akka's right, from an idealistic point of view.

Akka has earned my respect. 
But he is too optimistic for me. I know Akka isn't blind but it seems like it sometimes with his outlook on things like this. Eventually, you will climb a tower and start shooting if you expect people to do what they should. I can't be trusting and optimistic. If I were and history repeated itself, I would likely snap. No tower sniping but the person screwing me would feel the pain.

Is that really worth not trying it? If it doesn't repeat itself you won and if not one of the bad girls has to suffer.

I don't want to be a bad man's b/*tch Hitro.
damn i thought this was about academic cheating, last time i started a cheating thread it got closed. Is it because i'm a mummy? Just because i'm ancient doesn't mean i should be discriminated against. As for cheating in this sense yeah i would, but under extreme circumstances

No time cutoff. Just give them the benifit of the doubt until you are sure one way or the other.
You want to know what will solve your problem, though? Meeting the right person, that's what. Before my current relationship, i'd had that same attitude that you do. The only difference is that meeting this person caused me to realize that not all people are dishonest and that you much take it on a case-by-case basis. Dont charge one from the crimes of another.
