I usually come to the conclusion that someone who has an extra-marital affair is a cheater as well as a liar. He/she has cheated the family out of a stable future. He/she has cheated his/her children by creating an environment where they lose the ability to trust, and he/she has cheated society by reneging on the law of sociobiology and economics that carranza2 mentioned in his post. The more interesting question is whether as a species we inherently understand all of that? ;) M

Add to that the element that successful people often use cheating and lying as useful strategies. Studies have shown that socially sucessful people are better liars. When you think about the games politicians are forced to play, it's no wonder they are all liars ( as most people are in one realm of their lives or another)- the question has to come down to, what do they lie about, and what do you think they will do.

I think it more a question of being a "womanizer" than being a cheater. Of course at this point the jury is out as to whether he is either. Little joe

"All other things being equal, you would chose a non-cheater over a cheater." Ideally — and I would add that this current spate of intern-shagging is most unimpressive. Heck, even I can still do that. Baiting sapling is neither sporting nor gentlemanly, and if one is going to drop trou and drop character, I'd reserve some modicum of respect if he would at least be Presidential about it. JFK set an example with Marilyn Monroe; in more modern times Renee Russo would be a catch. The Countess of Wessex, and Elizabeth, Ducchess of Bavaria are interesting but really … how about 30-year old Haya Hussein, Princess of Jordan? Just imagine the political intrigue! nettyroyal.nl That's being Presidential about the matter. These pubescent intern escapades just aren't proper, but properly dull as hell. Never be dull.
