Who Cares If It Turns Out Right?

Everyday_change_50x50
Unless you're building a skyscraper or fixing a brain, there's room for error in your work. Sometimes, not forcing greatness/perfection leads to bigger and better ideas. So let go of whether a project is "right," and just let it be what it'll be.

Answer:

Good God there is some man hatting going on in here! OK, I thought as a man, I should chime in on this one considering I will be the first. Even though my profile says female, trust me I am a man.

First off there are plenty of men who cheat and always will cheat. Don't try and change them ladies. But and this is a very big "but".....WOMEN CHEAT JUST AS MUCH! They just don't get caught. Stop giving us men a bad name just because we are not as manipulative or as good at it as women.

By the way I am a happily married man who has never cheated on his wife. I love you honey!

Answer:

...it is not necessary for a man to cheat, a "man" will not cheat, a coward will because he is a self centered egotistical lying pig who thinks so low of himself in spite of the act he may put that he has it all together. We trust because we love and hope that the person we are trusting in responds the same way.
*some cowards cheat because they don't know what they have till it's gone
*some cheat because they are commitmentphobics and ruin a perfectly good relationship because of their fear, ego or bad morals
...but if someone is cheating on you don't chase him, replace himm and it is to be agreed to that women also cheat, but for different reasons, whoever men invented the cheating women have perfected it and it would be a never ending conversation but there is a hugge difference in the reasons why women and men cheat, this is how i feel

Answer:

I think its all about the people you surround yourself with- Your team- and the way you are raised. And of course cheating is a personal weakness, its a lack of self- control and a defect with one's moral compass.

Answer:

I don't feel that it's necessary for men to cheat because NOT ALL MEN cheat. The ones that cheat have issues within themselves, they are selfish and self-centered. It's much easier to tell someone that you don't want to continue in a relationship with them instead of hurting them by cheating (being unfaithful). Relationships require hard work constantly. WE ALL NEED TO BE HONEST with each other. Let's start practicing that and stop cheating--MEN and WOMEN alike!

Answer:

I haven't read "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" but I do agree there's a difference between how men and women approach love, sex and fidelity. My guess is that with men it's more about ego, conquest ... competition.

I have male friends who say it's not above love as much as it's about feeding that need they have to have their ego stroked.

Of course, not all men respond like this.

Answer:

I don't think ALL men cheat, it's just that the ones who create bad raps for the ones that don't. But I think women cheat just as much, you simply don't hear about it.

Of course, if your significant other has cheated on you, that's not cool and I'm sorry. But you have to remember that it's not necessarily EVERY man that cheats.
