You can tell the Vacation movies are fiction because this is the wife Clark fantasizes about cheating on

    I can't eat raw vegetables anymore because of an autoimmune disease. If I could choose one food on earth to eat without consequences, I'm genuinely serious I'd just eat a bowl of raw tomatoes and lettuce. No salad dressing or toppings, just that. I crave it so much now.

    I had a discussion at work about "getting hit on as a dude" and basically most guys don't get hit on, or so they think. When I asked if they would act on a girl allowing interest in them, they mostly said yes. It turns out, most guys I know who don't cheat simply don't think they have the opportunity. I was shocked

    Chris Rock once said "men are as faithful as their options" and it's been stuck in my head since. Incredibly accurate.

    I think that just means a lot of guys are shitty then because he tells the truth. Most guys don't cheat simply because they don't have the opportunity to.

    There is zero reason to assume that your shitty friends are representative of the supposed moral failures of "most guys." I've had the opportunity to cheat on a girlfriend and I've also had multiple opportunities for sex with girls who already had partners. I've turned down all of it and I refuse to believe I'm uniquely righteous or whatever. Anyone can make the right choice.

    There is zero reason to assume that your shitty friends are representative of the supposed moral failures of "most guys."

    There is zero reason to assume that you, Mr. High snd mighty, would remain faithful when you have no temptations to begin with. Same is true for most guys. If you lack the drive or the opportunity, you can't flex it as some sort of virtue.

    I've had the opportunity to cheat on a girlfriend and I've also had multiple opportunities for sex with girls who already had partners. I've turned down all of it and I refuse to believe I'm uniquely righteous or whatever.

    Good for you. This isn't true for most guys.

    True. Some find it harder rhan others though

    I literally just told you about very real temptations that I had, but turned down. Again, you are pretending that your very limited experience is generalize-able to "most guys" and I reject that premise because I'm not high and mighty. I don't think I'm better than "most men." I think "most men" are better than you're saying they are.

    I think there is a sharp divide in personal morals and it isn't gendered. Some people like you and I won't cheat because we don't like the idea of betraying the trust of our partner. Others cannot see the issue with it if they don't get caught. In my opinion, it doesn't matter if you get caught because you've betrayed your own trust by betraying those who trust you

    Exactly. Even if my partner never knows that I did something behind her back, I would know and that's more than bad enough.
