Society & Culture Things in life you just don't understand

The ones that do are the ones with the opportunity and options.

Correct. it's easy for some to say "nope, I won't cheat" but I wonder how long they would resist temptation if women were throwing themselves at them like Tiger Woods?

Who gives away their internet password? Yeah banking or something requiring a major emergency but email? It is weird thou. Why would you want to read someones personal messages?

Who knows but I often hear stories about women who have to go through their partners phones to see who they are calling/texting. It's massively insecure. I've never snooped on my partner's phone or email or anything else.

would anyone consider what rafa did re: injury time outs cheating?

No he clearly had an injury that was hampering him. I think what happened was due to Nadal's previous instances of stalling/keeping his opponent waiting, taking his time between points, they were no longer willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Personally I blame the officials more then the player. It wasn't until Nadal played (I think a QF) that he was docked a point for slow time between points and suddenly he got on with things.

Same goes for the grunting/abuse of lines people. Just dock them a point/sanction suspend from the next grand slam if infractions occur and you would see changes.

I'd say 99.9% of people are going to stray. The ones that do are the ones with the opportunity and options. The ones that don't...........well maybe that's where the insecurity comes from?

If that number was true for just your family and friends alone, it must create some very interesting dynamics.

Makes no sense. What do you mean?

That if 99.9% of your family and friends are cheating then I would have though any get-togethers would be a little awkward, or at least lead to some interesting discussions.

The numbers of people signing up to AshleyMadison on one hand is alarming but on the other hand seems reasonable. The truth is we are sexual beings on one hand but if possible a life partner for a family unit if you have kids is ideal. Sounds like people are trying to get the best of both worlds. Seems reasonable to me.

Imagine your wife has small ****. And some hottie with massive t***ies makes a play on you. A lot of guys aren't going to let that slide. Imagine a female whoe hubby stops going down on her. Then she gets propositioned by a decent looking bloke who will give her what she wants in bed.....

I'm all for moving towards the more free European way of doing things. Best of both worlds for all... except the insecure.

Sitting all day on a foreshore waiting for ghey fireworks. Waste of a day. Getting home is a*se too.

Put them all together to make one thermo-nuclear firework and launch it a few km's out to sea - now Id wait to see that.

WTF not with each other. What I was getting at was that most people have the means and opportunity to cheat (meaning not getting caught in a lot of cases) then they will. Naive in the extreme to believe that people just magically are attracted to their partners and no one else. And that if given the opportunity they will never act on it. (Ever tried to talk a hungry person out of eating a steak, try telling a Melbournian not to drink this week. Attraction is based on natural drives just like hunger and thirst).

As for the weird point about dynamics. Personally I could not care less what people do in their private lives. Obviously some weird conversation starters in your neck of the woods.

 

[Catfish Alley]

WTF not with each other.

Haha, no, I didn't mean with each other. I meant if you are with family and friends and 99.9% of the people there are having an affair.

 

[Run n Spread]

I see. Maybe not 99.9% at any one time but I'd say the majority. Certainly don't care enough to start asking questions. Just like if someone starts questioning me about my private life the discussion would get shut down pretty quickly. I'd assume most people would be the same.

Not sure how not wanting to cheat on my wife, or not wanting my wife to cheat on me makes me insecure.

 

[quickstraw]

I would lose my ******* shit if the wife cheated on me and she would do the same in reversed roles. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to a partner imo.

Given we aren't built to be monogamous, yes you are insecure.

 

[Catfish Alley]

It would make an interesting poll to see if the majority have cheated. I can only think of a few of my family or friends that have gone through that (talking about significant relationships, not just high school crap). I imagine some would never talk about it. This is an anonymous forum though so perhaps the picture would be more accurate.

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah nah. Not wanting to be cheated on does not make me insecure at all.

 

[timtamWB]

We are all going to die. Do you want to die?

 

[Rooz90]

Less than 8months since speaking with your ex partner, you find out shes 4months pregnant.

At least shes not 9 months preggers

 

[Rooz90]

Haha, if she was. Thats not for me to deal with.

 

[quickstraw]

No, but I don't think about or worry about it.

 

[timtamWB]

No, but I don't think about or worry about it.

Fair enough. These are the 2 quotes from Quivorir that you brought up:

I would lose my ******* shit if the wife cheated on me and she would do the same in reversed roles. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do to a partner imo.

He's not worrying about it, or think about it really. He's just saying that he doesn't want it to happen, and you said that makes him insecure? So, by the same token, you not wanting to die makes you insecure.

He said he'd lose his shit if she cheated. Therefore, he is insecure in that if he was cheated on he wouldn't be able to handle it.

That really is a pretty straight forward concept.

oh hai

You found their away kits. Congratulations.

 

[Gough]

Blue one looks good. They wore silver away kits at Euro 96 which looked f***ing horrible.

Is there something you'd like to get off your chest?

I'm pretty sure it's all over her chest.
