And they have the balls to call it “love.msn.com”…
OK… here’s a heads-up for you guys who read something like this and take notes: this is BULLSHIT!
If you are dating 2 girls, be man enough to tell them, OK? You are not simply dealing with your own emotions here, get it?
Dating 2 girls seriously enough to be having sex with them is simply NOT acceptable to keep secret, OK? If your relationship with one girlfriend is secure enough that you can relate all the juicy details to her later… then OK (as long as girl number 2 knows, that is…).
But if you have to keep a second relationship secret, it IS NOT OK!
Break up with the first one, then date the second if you feel so strongly about it! Be man enough to be honest.
Would you not ask the same of your girlfriend?
And shame on you, MSN, for putting this on your website!
You can tell even the guy writing it is having a hard time not saying “You’re dating two women and not telling either of them about each other. Dude, you deserve whatever’s coming to you.”
Reminds me of a progressive Muslim guy I once saw on Dutch television. It was about poligamy. He was asked what he thought of marrying multiple wives. His response? “Dude, what an excrutiating and tiring thought. I have trouble keeping up with one wife, let alone four!!”
At one time in my life, I was dating four men. They all knew that I was dating other people. I was not sleeping with any of them, and until I decided who I wanted to date, I didn’t sleep with anyone.
I ditched three of them after about two months. I got tired of them playing tug-of-war.
That is all it was, though, just dating. I didn’t commit anything to anyone, and I had a lot of fun.
The site is not really MSN but a site called askmen.com. Of course, Microsoft and GE own everything in the world so maybe Microsoft owns that site as well
Askmen.com is not politically correct, but some of their articles are interesting
Ah yes, the ‘playah’ mentality rears its ugly head once again. Any damn fool that tries this stunt pretty much deserves what’s coming to them in my book!
And if that’s not bad enough, the bastards have the nerve to spring two pop-up ads on you when you go to page two! :mad:
What’s the problem, JDMobray? The guys knew about it. She wasn’t keeping secrets from any of them. Why is she so terrible? Why isn’t she the better example to follow?
Hold on a second. If I go on a date with someone, I have to decide not to see him again if I want to go on a date with someone else? I have to proceed through dinners in strict rotation? Take a number? ¿Quién lo dice?
No, no. She certainley is a better example than the jerk in the article. But that’s like saying it’s less wrong to steal mp3s than it is to steal CDs. True, but misleading.
My problem, I suppose, comes from the rather specific definition that “dating” has in my twisted mind. To me, and seemingly, to only me, dating implies that there is some kind of emotional commitment to the other person. I would consider it to be unfair to another person to ask them to make that kind of emotional investment if I was unprepared or unwilling to return it.
I would consider it to be stringing them along at best, cheating at worst.
And I tend to judge the rest of the world based on my own, clearly superior, way of life.
Rather unhealthy proposition, in my mind. Dating ought to imply a commitment to go and spend some time together to see if you like each other enough to want to spend more time with them. Emotional commitment? That comes after you’ve separated some wheat from the chaff. Otherwise, it’s too easy for one individual to move to the next stage, stalking!
