Are you seriously suggesting that a man should not go for a taken girl in the vain hope that it will inspire other men to do the same so that women don't have the option to cheat?
No. That was
hyperbole. I intended to counter-balance the oft-repeated notion that somehow relationships are not normal if you're a player/PUA/alpha/whatever. That is a ridiculous statement.
My comment about "bizarre interpretations of social norms" was directly correlated to the idea expressed above, the social norm being a relationship. It had nothing to do with cheating.
And trixsta, I wasn't confronting you. I can read, and you didn't bring up that idea. I didn't reference your post.
Anyway, I can't think of anything less manly than knowingly leading someone to break their word of bond and cheat on their significant other. If you're a real man, whether or not you're good with women, you contribute to the integrity of the people in your company.
I don't respect people who cheat. That includes girls I'm trying to hook up with. If she has a boyfriend and is dishonest enough to be trying to hook up with me, and I find out about it, instant disrespect. But maybe that's just me.
Ah I see. You didn't reference but you said everyone bar two people.
I don't think there is a moral high ground on either side of the fence. If a girl is in a happy relationship, she won't cheat. If she isn't, she will. If she isn't, then the relationship is going to end anyway, so it is better for the guy (like I said, I've been that guy so it's not baseless - I do believe that).
I don't mind guys hitting on my girl. The only time I've ever been bothered is when she rejected him yet he still made crude and vulgar suggestions.
