David Boreanaz admits to cheating

[AJBryant]

I heard a very interesting perspective on the radio the other day.

Someone pointed out that Tiger Woods had nailed 24 or 25 women while married, and everyone calls HIM the scum. Think about this. That's 25 women who KNOWINGLY had sex with a married man, versus ONE man who bonked them all. That's a 25:1 ratio for sleezy behavior -- and the GUY is the one everyone trashes.

Yeah, it may take two to tango, but all any woman of character would have to do is say NO.

It goes to prove that a great many men will cheat no matter what their wife does, how she behaves, or what she looks like. A lot of men are just cheaters by nature.

You can stop your "men suck" tirade right there. Women are just as bad and cheat as often as men, they're just sneakier and aren't caught as much.

 

[Checkmate]

No way. Only men cheat. They apparently only cheat with themselves, however. No women are involved. Because women never partake in such tawdry affairs, for they are perfect and glorious in all ways.

Some women will hate men no matter what they do.

I have the perfect solution! They can CGI Eddie McClintock into all Boreanaz' episodes of Buffy, Angel and Bones. Then no one will be offended by seeing such a monster.

 

[Training]

It doesn't really matter to me if he cheats or not. I'm not that much of a prude though. People cheat all the time. It's not new news.

Men want sex, women offer it. Birds fly, turtles don't.

I don't get this.
You're married to a Playboy Playmate who still has it after having had kids.
Not that if your not married to a Playmate it makes it alright, just saying. WTF?!

Because the longer you stay with a woman. The less special she becomes. All relationships lose their fizzle,spark or what ever you call it. Sex is a bit like oxygen. If you get it. Then you don't think much about it.

Birds fly, turtles don't.

No shit? Whoa!

 

[JoeZhang]

Wow, I think I stepped back in time to the victorian era - is someone going to head off to white-chapel in a minute to clean the streets?

I recognise these words but the order in which they are used makes no sense.

Apparently, expecting single women to take their share of responsibility and only have sex with men who they know aren't married is a "Victorian" attitude.

Anyone who's played a Super Mario game knows this isn't true.

Well if I remember correctly studies ahve shown that the percentage of women who are cheating is going up, it still doesn't match the number of men (percentage wise) that will admit to cheating. And I do think I have seen studies that have shown a % over 50 percent saying that they have at least once.

Oh and I am a guy. And most of the people I know have cheated on someone they were either dating or married to at one point in their lives (men and women).

As to blame. If you cheat and your our in a relationship, I will always blame you more (regardless of gender). Even if your partner knows you are in a relationship (many don't, but many do). Both are wrong, but the one who actually breaks their word (which means if you are in an open relationship I don't consider it cheating, not my cup of tea, but I won't judge) is the one that bothers me the most.

Well it all depends, in many cases the person who is having an affair (or one night stand) with a person in a relationship is not aware of that. When I cheated, the person didn't know I was in a relationship.

He's just one more young guy in Hollywood...

Snort. He's 41.

Same age as me - so I declare that young.

Well, I did say "know aren't married". If the other person lies about it, what can you do ?

If, of course, the other person will only meet you in hotels or at your place then you really should be asking questions.

I don't get the "Victorian" comment. Nobody's congratulating Boreanaz. Nobody's saying that the person in a relationship shouldn't take the bulk of the responsibility. Nobody's defending Boreanaz here. That's a very easy assumption to make when people criticise the women these men have affairs with. It's a very comfortable and familiar place for those who like to blame men for everything to go.

My father's adultery broke up my parents' marriage. I could jump to conclusions based on my personal experiences but that's far too easy.

I don't know.

I'm pretty sure women want sex, too. And I'm pretty sure men offer it, too.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Yep, I totally agree.

I speak as a guy who's never cheated on a partner, never (AFAIK) been cheated on, but *has* been the guy who somebody cheated on her partner with (before and after knowing the person was spoken for, since, by definition, after finding out was too late to decide not to do it as I'd already done it....)

But I still have never *got* the obsession with which celebs are doing it or why it should matter to the rest of us who don't know them. (Unless they're known for always proclaiming family values and decrying other cheaters before they get found out themselves.)

 

[Hermiod]

I don't know.

I'm pretty sure women want sex, too. And I'm pretty sure men offer it, too.

The only real difference is that for women (and I'm stealing a line here) getting sex is like winning a medal in the Special Olympics - for participation.

 

[JoeZhang]

I find that it's harder for them to bug you after you give them the elbow if they just have a mobile and no home address.

As for just wanting sex, plenty of women out there like that, and the world's a better place for that.

 

[stj]

There are reportedly far more men cheating than women. Unless they're cheating with another man, there's something wrong with the math. Personally I suspect that men are just bragging. But it's not bragging for a woman, so they're lying. But what do I know?

Calling it cheating is peculiar when you think about it. It sort of assumes the partner is losing something when the cheater gets sex but the one cheating is getting something. It is however a little difficult to specify what the something is. If it's sex, then a withholding partner is cheating. Which reportedly would make a lot of wives cheaters, despite their conviction of virture.

What really seems way out of line is the notion that a prurient intetest in gossip about celebrities is a moral statement.
