What are your opinions about online dating websites?
What about agencies for married people who are looking for affairs [such as ashleymadison.com]?
Do you feel like today, society is borderline accepting the fact that cheating happens and a lot of people do it?

A lot of people our age (Gen Y) tend to use them because they have hard time meeting people...and don't want to try and pick up at a bar.

Or so I've heard.

I never understood cheating, what's the point of being in a relationship if you're going to cheat? It seems it's more prevalent than ever in society, especially female cheaters, recent studies and statistics show that women cheat more than men and also have more sexual partners than men nowadays.

I don't think it's ethical to cheat, but I can understand why it happens. I think a lot of people cheat because they're not getting everything they need out of the relationship. A person might have a significant other who is physically cold, or emotionally cold. Or, that significant other may be both emotionally and physically warm, but intellectually deficient relative to the cheater. There are a lot of different needs that can be satisfied by a relationship, and I'm sure there's no shortage of people who can't satisfy EVERY need.

Again, I'm not saying it's right... just saying I understand it.

If you're not getting everything you need out of a relationship, either end the relationship, or try to mend the relationship. There is absolutely no way you can rationalize cheating, you'd have to be a coward to do it.

It's not that simple. Sure, if you're just in a relationship with someone, you should end it if you're not digging it. But it gets complicated if, for example, kids are involved, and the person thinks it's better for the family to stay together for the kids.

I'm doing some research for my blog, It's so messed up.. \

I joined a few sites to see what's up...

And then you have my case: where I'm antisocial and don't wanna resort to using online sites... >____>

Today's generation has unrealtistic expectations of a relationship. They expect it to be all rainbows and sunshine, and hugs and .. Edward basically. I think having unreasonable expectations is what leads to disappointmetn in a relationship.

Hahaha, I love the Twilight reference. Twilight ruined the female's perspective of realistic men.

Hey dont get me wrong. I love the idea of Edward, and read all 4 books ... but I know the difference between reality and fantasy, and some people just don't get that. I think a real relationship takes work, compromises, and alot of "f*ck i wanna kill this man" moments.

I tried to read them to prove to one of my roommates that I would be against the Twilight trend regardless of knowing the actual story.

I got halfway through the first book and then thought "this girl is too annoying."

I can see why people like it, but it's not for me at all.

"Dragonfly seeks his Delicate Butterfly "



DEFS a keeper

I started to hate the terrible grammar before I hated on the poorly developed charachters. And halfway through the book, the "dazzling" ( you know the dazzling right?).. got annoying.. but I just had to know-_- what happens...
I'm more of a Harry Potter obsessed/freak/crazy person... Crucio to all who disagree
