I read an article about the experiences of people that were cheated on. More interesting than the article was the comment section that was bursting with reader comments, for and against cheating. The "for" comments inspired me to make a typology of cheaters. I mean the hypocrites who are not in an open relationship as they couldn't handle their partner going behind their backs, but have no problem doing it themselves.
This categorization was influenced by the study according to which people with a lower IQ are more likely to cheat than those with a higher one.
1) Dumb fucks. Their justification most often contains the phrases "it's human nature" and "have to spread the seed". So, they directly compare homo sapiens as a species to other animals, of considerably smaller spectrum of emotions and lower intelligence. Sounds about right, sounds just like Group 1, the Dumb Fucks! Just please don't make the mistake of overgeneralizing your moronic underdeveloped mindset to apply to all people. Because no, it's not in all people's nature to lack emotional intelligence altogether. Just because it is a myth to you, doesn't mean it's not very real to some others.
2) Cowards. They usually complain about their relationship going south for whatever reason and are unhappy, unappreciated and can't get laid. Then they find a person who is a dream come true, start an affair and leave the old relationship only after this, or after they are caught and dumped. They don't have the guts and decency to call it quits when it's clear the relationship is not working, but have to have the next one handy before leaving. Yes, being single is simply terrible, so better to be a spineless, useless pathetic worm.
3) Sociopaths. They would say something like "I don't understand why cheating is made out to be this huge thing when it's not". Maybe for people with zero empathy and emotional intelligence it isn't, but the partner most likely does not see it the same way. But oh wait, what does the sociopath even care.
I'd like to see a study on how many people are okay with their partner sleeping around too, I'd venture to guess it's somewhere around 5-8 percent. Max. Okay, and how many people have cheated and think it's not that bad, it's actually natural and not a big deal? Probably more than 30%. So what the hell, there's this huge number of people who somehow think they have some extra rights to screw around that their partner just doesn't. What is wrong with you??
I mean, if you are polygamous, sleep around and allow your partner that too, nothing wrong with that. To each their own. But what I don't get is these precious little things that think they're above everything else and come up with the stupidest excuses to get rid of the responsibility. If you can't keep it in your pants and you're in a monogamous relationship, it's not human nature, it's an issue you have, and your partner unfortunately too.
Also, by having sex with random people outside your relationship implies that that is your preferred pastime, because usually people tend to get a similar kick out of a different hobby, like bungee jumping, chess, or wine-tasting. A lot of people like to read, too. But if a physical activity where you rub your genitals against some other person's genitals is absolutely mandatory, then I would have to suppose that you are more physically- than intellectually-oriented. And that is only a fancier way of saying you ain't too bright.
And finally, I simply detest people spitting out things like "human is not naturally monogamous". How nice of others to speak for me too, if that is really the case, I guess I'm a humanoid. Would explain many things.
