DO NOT GO ON FACEBOOK CRUISES THEN




If someone is going cheat they will cheat, no difference to any other web based chat room....

Maybe Tony can offer advice on this?

But as far as my experience goes, women are bred to cheat.

Anyone can cheat just depends how strong their willpower is. Not everyone will give into the temptation, but MOST will!! Facebook just makes it easier to meet people increasing the risk!

Personal will power is the key to it along with TRUST and LOYALITY.....

Facebook is not the issue its the person, if she cheats she cheats.

I.e she would be out clubbing tonight, and WILL be on the look for some loving!..
if she fails she we will be back home saying she has a headache to you.

I dont like face book to be honest, l know a guy who got contacted on friends reunited by his old high school sweet heart, left his misses after she started asking questions gave her the lots 2 hourse GT2 money and went back to his high school sweet heart because curiosity got the better of him.

Face book and the like just provide an oppertunity to let this happen,

Mike

i dont think any of the personal networking sites are good for relationships, facebook, bebo, myspace etc, it just gives people reason to argue

Doesnt appeal to me in the least

A cheat is a cheat.

Doesnt matter if they meet someone at the gym, bus stop, pub, or online.

If someone wants to cheat, they will cheat...and find a way to do it.

Online social networking sites just bring a lot of people together that wouldnt normally meet.

Just like somewhere like here...maybe all you fellas with girls that arent into cars are under scrutiny as to how much time you spend on here chatting to people (specifically ladies)

Only people I have on my facebook are people I know already, I have intention of chatting up old school friends or anyone for that matter, I use it purely to keep up to date with friends

Do people just add total randoms or something? You can do that on any internet based thing (chat rooms, forums, the muppet room )

Exactly the same as running off with someone you meet when out at the pub one day IMO

Doesn't that just mean that your ex fiance is a complete slut? That's not facebooks fault.

What a load of shite. So because his missus cheated on him after she had been Facebook, this straight away makes it evil?

Perhapes hes just a dick and she was looking for a new model, or she just loves cock i dont know. Blaming Facebook or the internet for it is just pathetic though.

People trying to chat others up, giving it all the nice talk to get in thier pants, some people love the attention & fall for it!
i know of a few people who spend loads of time on there trying to chat people up, telling them all sorts of bulshit, normally starts with a few compliments, then a few cheeky comments.....

Interesting reading! I got sent a link to facebook and therefore registering by a girl at school who I went out with 3 times. Admittedly one time was just a joke and to wind someone up who wanted her. Anyway at school I always got on with her and she wasn't a dick like some girls can be but last time I saw here was at college at 17, now shall we say its a few years later but pics of her are on the net.....

Turns out she set up and runs the website of a well known band in the UK and it would be good to chat with her but after reading this lot above and having a relationship for 5 years+ what should I do????
