Why do people cheat? Is there such a thing as a “cheating season” or “summer fling”? Why do people still cheat with knowing the fact that cheating is bad? There are always reasons behind the things that we do in life. Some times we really have to look at both sides of the perspectives. Read about what our Amateur Relationship Expert Nick Jacketti has to say about the cheaters in his blog.

It must be cheating season again because that’s all I seem to be hearing about lately. Sure it goes on all the time but I guess the whole “summer fling” fever has spread throughout the relationship world. Over the past month, I’ve been hearing about celebrities and random acquaintances’ unfaithful spouses/partners. I consistently hear the self blame theory but honestly, does unfaithfulness really stem from a void in a relationship or a shortcoming from the faithful mate? In short, no.

Despite the fact that women frequently declare us (Men) to be dim and shall we say, “less than driven;” there are the times, however infrequent, that they give us MORE credit than we deserve.

One myth that I hear time and time again, refers to body image. It doesn’t take a genius to notice the drastic difference in demands that are put on women, versus those put upon men. It goes without saying - almost - that women have seemingly impossible standards to maintain, while men are seemingly allowed a “pass.” Women are faced with having to maintain their weight,…and even lose in some cases; keeping up with the current trend-which seems to never really deviate from “Thin Is In.” When has it ever been out? Their skin is not “allowed” to sag or sprout any unsightly hair, the ones on their head can’t get grey (unless it’s in that sexy Emmylou Harris way). Their breasts must remain perky, and their faces remain wrinkle free,…forever. At the same time, men are “allowed” to get paunchy, bald in some places/hairier in others, and if there is hair left on their head-it certainly isn’t a crime to allow the grey to show. Even as this process of greying starts, men are shored up by women who say, “Oh, that grey around your temples makes you look distinguished.” So there is rarely the urge to color one’s pate, unless they are an entertainer or just vain beyond the realm of typical “maleness.”

Courtship. Sounds like an ancient word, right? Oh and do men even court women anymore? If they do, courting these days might go something like this: guy buys girl drink, girl accepts drink, guy flirts, girl flirts back, girl goes back to his place, girl gets in guys bed.

Today, courtship barely exists and dating is simply meeting someone and sharing his or her bed over a period of several months. Then like a box of cereal, that person gets tired of having the same old thing everyday and moves on to something different.
