Would you cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend if it was guaranteed they'd never know?

[Pumpkin Ninja]

True, very true. This—this whole topic—is nothing but us, as a species, appeasing our boredom on a damn Naruto forum. l0l

All of this is pointless, really. Just fingers hitting keys and wasting the energy of their users for nothing.

Nihilist alert!

It really depends on how strong the relationship is. We all say no, because we know it's not possible. Easy to say no now, but would our answer truly stay the same if our dream girl or boy actually came to us?

That why my answer is I hope I would decline the offer.

Basically. I guess we never really know until it happens, but i'm extremely confident I wouldn't.

It's natural for people to look out for the well-being of others. Human beings have been designed by evolution to be a societal and social creature. As such, we have a natural sense of empathy and sympathy, we naturally care about the feelings of other living things. To cheat would be unnatural because it completely undermines that, it goes against our natural desire to have those close to us be happy, because cheating brings unhappiness.

Polygamy is not natural for homo sapiens, it's natural for Neanderthals, the species that existed without the natural empathy, intelligence and sympathy, the natural desire to see those close to us happy and not sad, that homo sapiens have now.

Monogamy is indeed natural for us because we aren't Neanderthals who exist merely to reproduce and survive, our existences are deeper than that, we have evolved to care about the happiness and well-beings of others, and if monogamy achieves that, then it's natural indeed.

Good man!

I am not saying you are because of life experience, I am saying you are because of your views. I can guarantee if we have more people like you we'd all be dead. But a nihilistic sociopath probably doesn't see anything wrong with that
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nope. You read my mind.

Point being: His reason (though I may have misinterpreted it myself; regardless, he stated it) for me having the views I do was because I'm not pleased with the cards I've been dealt or what I've had to deal with in life. He lacks a basis for such an assertion, plain and simple.

Yes, but how is cheating wrong? How is monogamy right? I'll answer it for you: because that's what's been engraved in our brains as a species without choice of thinking otherwise or "... But why?"

It's like you all don't want to want to use your oh-so vaunted human intelligence to open your minds up to new, unrestricted thoughts and ideas.

And you have yet to correct me. You have yet to even deny it, you never said my statements weren't true, but that I formed the statements without seeing the 100% picture.

See the thing is, you don't care about lives but the majority always will. So you are in no place to determine how we should think because humanity's well being doesn't concern you, and if lives are pointless to you, why do you care if we are "enlightened" or not?

Just curious, how do you define the terms right and wrong in the sense people use?
Do you mean religiously, like it's wrong to steal?

Or literally, like its wrong to steal because (....)?

because the human being is complex and able to feel a lot of emotions other animals can't feel and also cause we live according to the society we're in so you're right about that. So, in order to protect us from those so interpreted as negative emotions and to continue living in society and symbiosis, cheating is wrong and monogamy is right. Though in some civilizations it's accepted to have more than one wife but no wife is able to have more than one husband.

This site will never change. Same old people having the same old arguments with new people.

Also let me note that I know quite a few people on here who have said they wouldn't cheat but have cheated....

Cheating is wrong because cheating on someone hurts them. Hurting people is wrong because being hurt feels awful, to inflict awful feelings on someone is wrong. You sound more like a child now, who simply says ¨But why?"to everything.

Skip to 1:38, and you've found you.

Monogamy is right because it establishes and displays integrity(keeping your unspoken/spoken oath to commitment and devotion to your partner) and compassion/affection for those important to you(Taking into consideration their happiness, wants and needs, and what's fair for them)

Scenario where cheating is right? Didn't think so.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Entirely dependent on how the current relationship is, and who it is with.

A casual relationship with some cute girl at work? Yeah, the chances of me cheating are there.

A serious one with a possible spouce? Likely not, but the chances are still there.

Am I intoxicated? Is she seducing me, or am I making the first move? Sort of things I need to know to fully come to an answer.

But if it is Anne Hathaway, I'd probably cheat and sell my mother into slavery for her.

 

[BlazeRelease]

Let me put it like this:

A murderer killed 10 people so we torture him for 10 months, then release him, so he doesn't inflict damage on humanity again, and lives as an example so no one else wants to do it
^^
People say torture is wrong.
Your saying "why"?
"Why is it wrong? It would help humanity correct?"

This is futile.

Funny video analogy, though.

 

[Saikyokami]

I would.
I have no reason to lie as I'm sure many here have. I would do it without a single thought. People say it's wrong and all that blah blah who gives a duck(auto correct) now as for the best friends one... maybe if his girlfriend was hot

Anyway a good gf/bf would accept their partner with all their faults. If my gf cheated on me (once) I wouldn't be mad I would move past it as should anyone, no one is prfect.
