    I was thinking that the Metro was suspiciously empty last Friday (except for the front page article, of course).

    No, I have plenty of failings when it comes to relationships but this is one thing that I can confidently say I wouldn't do.

    Are you implying not cheating = prudish?

    Anyway, no, of course not.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I value your principles but the fact is that nobody cares about your emotional state so why care about others? It's 2010 and having several partners is the norm. My thought is that what they don't know, won't hurt them. It's not that I'm a bad or evil person, I'm just searching for the right one who I feel enough for not to continue my ways.

    How poetic of me.

    Why bother having a committed partner at all then?

    Just make up the results.

    If you're new to the job or on work experience, the usual slant is to lean toward a heavily moralistic tone about the deluge of cheating, but to also try and give us the horn by making the prurient 'revelations' very detailed.

    If you work for the SINDO, it also helps to include the picture of an orange-looking mot who supposedly knocked up the article (based on the experiences of her usefully wanton friends) while wearing a nightie or titty dress.

    Plus if she/he did find a partner the old saying goes "A leopard never changes his spots"

    Trying to keep one woman happy is exhausting enough. No idea how anyone could keep up with two.

    Let me start by asking you a question.

    If you cared enough about your partner and discovered they had something to hide, would you be upset or take it on the chin? I've seen people being cheated on similar to That_Guy's experiences. It made me sick too but I needed a backup plan. If you can't beat them, join them. I do what I do to cover my own ass.

    In a way, it destroys a little connection between two people. Having cheated, you see that there are others out there in case of a separation. Nothing changes. I felt guilty the first time, but unlike other things in life you may regret, it doesn't make you lose a part of yourself.

    There is an old saying I swear by, "Don't hate the player, hate the game".

    On Saturday night, I met a woman who cheated on her boyfriend with me. I wouldn't want to be him and I never will because of my attitude. I have found that girls with boyfriends are most likely to go to bed with a new person whom they just met. For example, I try to take the blame of her sub-consciously by stating that I have a girlfriend too so she doesn't feel 100% responsibly for what is about to happen.

    If she says that he's good to her and that he's a "nice guy", I work on that by stating it over and over again. No woman wants to be with a "nice guy".

    I feel the other guys anger at this but I can't apologize for my actions. It's just the way I am.

    I have been cheated on, and damn straight I was upset. I'd never want to put a girl through what I had felt because of my selfishness.

    I'm with a girl 6 months now and there is honestly nobody else I'd rather be with, if that were to change, I would tell her instead of just going off with some other girl. Just because lots of people do it, doesn't make it right.

    Girl: Would NOT cheat on a partner

    If you want to be with other people/play the field, break up with your significant other/don't get into a relationship.

    It's that simple!

    Definitely not.

    I was once accused of it by one of my then-girlfriend's best friends who said I was with her when I wasn't. She was later caught out but after me getting the cold shoulder off many of my female friends for months for what I'd 'done' there was no 'Sorry about that Stiggie'.

    My ex and I are kinda friends now and she told me she cheated on her new boyfriend. I had to laugh.

    Still doesn't change my perspective on it. Why bother cheating if its gonna bother your conscience, even if its just at the the start. You might as well break up with you're partner and enjoy playing the field as a free man/woman then there's no need to worry about being caught out or anything.

    EDIT/ How is your poll accurate if considerably more men are voting?

    If my partner was a lazy useless talentless 'journalist' who had to resort to going to online message boards for their article ideas then I would cheat on them yes.
