You work in a fish and chip shop? send me a bag of chips and a battered sausage, our supermarket shelves are empty and the missus is away, I ain't bloody eaten in days!
Didn't fancy killing that diseased pigeon you spoke about then?
 
Okay men! Question from Netflix Academy…

Why is it when men cheat they are generally considered selfish monsters but when women cheat we are given so much excuses like “she had low self-esteem” or “her partner was controlling and she needed an outlet”? Any ideas, is it due to a history of oppression ?
Who gives the women those excuses? Their friends/sisters/mothers?

TBH, I have always thought it to be much worse if a female cheats than a male.
Yes, it's a product of the old fashioned values I grew up with.
But there is some logic to it.
Males simply scr*w around for fun/something different/not "getting enough" (or any) at home. We can easily do this without making any emotional connection. And the husbands still come home, pay the bills, take the kids to their sports games, etc...
Whereas females almost always do this with emotional connection.
Not to mention the whole pregnancy thing.
Here in the US there are many states that will NOT alleviate child support for a divorced husband even if a DNA test proves the wife had the child with another man while she was married. If he signed the birth certificate, he HAS to pay. So there are much more dire consequences to a female cheating.

Off topic but interesting:
Regarding the "not getting any at home" thing, many of my monger friends first went to escorts & massage girls because when their wives hit a certain age (around menopause) they decided they did not want to have sex anymore. Still wanted to be married, but no sex. And believe it or not these guys SNEAK AROUND! They make excuses like playing golf, business meeting, going to Home Depot. And they use burner cell phones so the wife does not find out. To me that is crazy. If a wife decides "no more sex", to me that's basically like giving the guy a direct order to fool around. But I guess they see it very differently.

I feel like women get the benefit of the doubt, from society as a whole, also it's always okay to be much harsher with men, a lot of guys have called this out, like the fact that their ex girlfriends and bash them to high heavens say whatever they like but if the reverse happened everyone would be shocked and appalled lol.

Okay so... unpopular opinion but my older sister lives "the life" call it what you will... so many married men come for a hug, a talk...It's actually kinda sad, they didn't even "cheat" in the sense of the word. I could almost say it was the majority, and she's not the only one to tell me guys act like this. I say all this to say, men cheat emotionally, for sure, they may not admit it to their friends but they do.
Men also bring babies... they cant just easily walk away like they used to, I put a story on here I think around a family friend who came crying because she found out her fella has another kid and only confessed after she bought a massive house with him that she cannot afford on her own.

However, despite all of this I think a woman is cheating is worse, I feel this way because men are just allowed to cheat in my book it's just what they do, and you hope and pray that his wallet has enough in it to make you forget. I couldn't sleep with my ex for a period of time, it wasn't my fault but nevertheless I couldn't. He cheated and I remember being so "fake angry" about it... he apologised like 100000,00000,00000 times paidddddd for it I spent so much money his bank called him lol I remember thinking, eh im not actually that mad about this, how long do I have to pretend lol I asked the lovely people of ALL and they were like "you are mad" (in a round about way). My dad told me, couples make agreements, he said it's important to have an agreement and stick to it. The only thing I was mad about is that if we made an agreement I would have agreed to almost anyone than who he chose to sleep with, even my own mother, I joke lol but thats was the only thing.
 
Okay men… i’ve been nice to you, I've given you a break, I’ve done everything you’ve asked of me, now its my turn to put my hand out, my turn to dial up the heat! My turn to ask a question….


Please this is not for the faint hearted dont say I didnt warn you…

You have a girlfriend, its going well but there is one issue, you notice that she never wants to kiss you, ever…. Shes not affectionate at all its not cold but she plays it off as being shy but on her facebook sits a few hundred pictures of her kissing her ex that she plans to delete as soon as possible… Would this be a deal breaker? Would you wonder… why me? Would this keep you up at night?

How long have they been dating?
 
Does she really plan to delete them, or is she just saying it?

Is she actually cheating, or was this a past relationship?

Maybe it really is that the old relationship was a long one, and it took a while for her to open up and get to that point of comfort with kissing.

Nevertheless, if I was dating a woman, I wouldn't really enjoy seeing pictures of her kissing another man. It would feel both hurtful and disrespectful, like I'm not good enough or something.

Ska you know you think of everything, so she is planning to delete it but deep down she loves that she is probably making you jealous just a mini toxic trait of hers that she’d never admit.

Was a past and very over relationship she is promising you love and loyalty. ✨

Well, as long as it's a "very over" relationship, I can work with that.

If everything else is going well, maybe the mini toxic trait will go away in time.

I don't mean the whole "disrespectful" bit as like "grr rr respect your man" macho thing, just more like if there's going to be a relationship it has to be mutually respectful.

I'm fine with waiting out the time until she's comfortable kissing, though.
Them being uncomfortable would be a turn-off for me as well, so I can wait.

I don't know if it's a deal breaker but it is a serious red flag.

Not to worry, it's only theoretical 😅 but yeah if there ever comes a time when I'm really in this situation, I'll tell her to hit the road! Skedaddle! Vamoose!
