I have no problem with the guys cheating on the show. One in the hand is worth two in the bush, right? If an attractive blonde is in one of the guy's laps, why should he remain "faithful" to a girl he met a few days earlier, has spent about five minutes of alone time with, has picked two OTHER guys to go out on dates with, and is semi-dating nine other guys at the time. Was it stupid to think these guys weren't being watched? Yes. Do I liken it to guys cheating on their significant other? Not remotely.

I agree with you. I think the guys flirting with the paid blondes was more indicative of their stupidity (ie; how could they not know it was a set up) and not their unfaithfulness. how could you seriously consider it cheating (and how could anna seriously have been upset) when she had just met these guys for 5 min. the day before. on the other hand, being that they were stupid enough to fall for the trap, she was right in eliminating them.

I think if you are in a relationship and you are messing around with someone other than your signficant other, you are cheating.

That's all well and good. I look at it this way. If you really wanted to be with Anna, you would have not messed around at a bar with another woman.

Arthur: yes in the context of this show I agree with you, showing interest in the other girls was wrong, especially since you knew cameras were following you everywhere! but in real life if for example you went on a first date with someone, even if you liked them, it certainly would not be "cheating" if you flirted with some other girl at a bar. if on the other hand you were in a relationship with the person then it would be considered cheating.

I think that if you are on a first date and decide to flirt with someone else - you are sending your date a clear message that there is no future with him/her. I also think you lose your right to complain after the fact.

Well what if the other person instead says "Nice to meet you; hold on while I go on dates with two other people and I'll get to you shortly"?

oh, I dodnt mean flirting with someone WHILE you are on a date. that would be rude. I mean, go on a date with someone you potentially like. then the next day or something go to a bar with a bunch of friends and flirt with random girls. that is more similar to the sitution on the show. that clearly isnt cheating. the only difference is that the average joes and bimbo guys were followed by cameras.

Personally, I don't like any cheaters...whether it's a man cheating on his wife, or a woman cheating on her husband. I think an "online romance" is "emotional cheating"...in that a lot of the emotion that should be given to the significant other is spent on a person on the 'net. It also has potential to develop into a physical relationship. My husband worked with (and became close to) a young lady who seemed to think anyone's husband was fair game (she had carried on affairs with a few of the married men at work), and he couldn't understand why I didn't like the idea of him being "close" to her. To me, that is just too much of a dangerous situation, with potential to develop into more than he intended at the start. I hated the idea that I was telling him not to be "friends" with this girl, but on the other hand, I could not trust HER, and I know that men can be weak at times. (No offense, guys.) Especially since my hubby and I were going through a rough patch of our own at the time. But anyway, no one really cares about that...I just was reminded of this by your question, I guess.

I agree,I am going through the online cheating with my husband now,he doesn't seem to get that he's cheating on me though,but it really hurts.
