You"re an idiotThe Ancient said:You called a mine a depth charge, were called out on it, and then went all LULZ YOU DUMMIES I TROLLED U
I thought it was funny given the comic you posted.
You"re a Pokemon trainer, collecting badges and trying to wade through the smallest amount of grass necessary to lessen the chance you run into yet another fucking Pidgy. But sooner or later, the more you play, the chance goes higher that you"re going to run into someone better than you at your own game. Oh, really, you"re excluding whores and sluts because of disease-risk? You and I both know it only takes one time, and she might not even know about it. She can lie. She could desperate for a kid, trying every trick to get you to knock her up. The condom could fall off. It could be defective. That two minutes you went to the bathroom? She might have gone through your wallet and found out who you were. She could be the daughter of a powerful/rich/psychotic family with ties to ANYTHING. Or, mind-bottlingly enough, she could just be a better player than you. Maybe she gets off on knowing she"s on camera and set one up in the room without you knowing? It goes on. If this one person really wanted to, her desire to find you would outweigh your desire to keep it covered up. How would you glean all/any of this during an international trip while you were looking to score some ass? How COULD you know?Dabamf said:If there is 0 chance of getting caught, what logical reason do you have not to cheat?
Youre type number 2. there"s three types. Those that cheat, those that would cheat if in a perfect universe would never get caught, and those that would never cheat.Dabamf said:No one answered my question. Except brekk but his post was just words that don"t actually mean anything. If there is 0 chance of getting caught, what logical reason do you have not to cheat? If you can"t get caught, you can"t hurt her. And what else is there that makes the act of sex with another woman wrong? (This excludes whores and sluts bc of disease risk of course)
We all know men can detach sex from emotion and I believe a man is fully capable of being just as emotionally involved with his wife regardless of whether or not he has some side booty.
It"s a question I"ve never been able to answer. I *WANT* to find a logical reason not to, but so far have come up empty handed.
This is exactly the type of response I was looking for, especially the last part. Thanks, and respect for arguing on the terms I laid out.Alcestis said:Since you don"t appear to be interested in emotional answers like "guilt from lack of respect" or axioms like "honesty must be a bedrock for a relationship", etc.:

There is NO chance whatsoever you can be traced back? Maybe the reason why you aren"t getting decent answers is because it"s difficult to hypothesize on an unbelievable absolute. You say it with such certainty that you"re either God-like (in which you can control and see all possible/weird outcomes) or you"re hubristically overconfident. Even the dumbest of people should factor in bizarre bad luck and di ex machina (Latin for "Are you seriously fucking kidding me?") when it comes to secrets. When you fuck someone else, the secret is necessarily shared. Yeah, you can control yourself, but you can"t controlher.
*shrugs* This answer only works because I reject your initial postulate - which I rationally can"t accept. If you amend the question to, "If there is atinychance of getting caught, what logical reason do you have not to cheat?", then the onlylogicalanswer would be, "Because there is a chance."
So... You make a statement, Alcestis basically says "you"re stupid" and your response is "thanks."Dabamf said:This is exactly the type of response I was looking for, especially the last part. Thanks, and respect for arguing on the terms I laid out.
For the record, the condition of "0 chance of getting caught" is fair game to challenge as impossible. Any of my premises or inferences are.

The irony here being that the quote is all spelled perfectly, and misspell does not have a hyphen.Mustaffi said:Mis-spelling kept intact for posterity~
Yes, all I really need to hear is someone provide useful feedback to the exact question that I ask in a reasoned manner. That"s nonsense right? I"m not interested in getting into philosophical "lifeboat" scenarios (well what if it"s a halloween party and I"m wearing a mask and forgot my ID at home, etc etc), so I left the response at that.Incognitogamer said:So...

Was that really all you needed to hear?
I would just like to point out this kind of view point will limit your actual relationship potential in the long run. Sure it will increase the number of relationships up front, but it"s a really limiting factor on the quality of them in the end.Dabamf said:You"re cool with being backup plan? Strictly based on pride I will not take backup role. If a girl makes more effort to spend time with another guy, it"s over forever.
I can report more failure, if it gets the thread back to interesting stories.Tarrant220 said:So anyone got any updates?
Because it would ruin the relationship?Zehn - Vhex said:You still haven"t answered my counter question.
In this hypothetical situation where disease is guaranteed to not be a factor and honor, integrity and emotion don"t enter into it, why wouldn"t you cheat even if you knew for certain that you"d get caught?
