Yeah, if someone is going to cheat, they will find a way to do it, online or offline.
A Cheater is a Cheater, by any other name.

I like Facebook, it helps me keep in touch with old friends and family who live scattered all across the country. You can take any object or program and use it for good or for evil. It depends not on the
object, but the desire in your heart.

I still look at my ex-girlfriend and see all the guys she has believing that she likes them so much. It really kind of cracks me up, because then she'll date a guy and these guys will get bent out of shape (publicly on facebook). It's really comical. She's a nice girl.. but man, I've never seen a girl try so hard for attention.



To the OP, if a person is going to cheat.. they're going to do it with or without facebook. If anything facebook just provides a better way for them to get caught in the process.

‘Facebook and Your Marriage’ warn about how the site can toss a monkey wrench in an otherwise happy marriage.


“People feel bolder behind a screen than in person,” the couple “People type and press ‘Send’ faster than common sense can kick in, and people feed off the rush they’re feeling rather than rationally thinking about what they’re doing.’


so how you feeling?
Wow. Three days into 2013, and we already have a winner for the Year's Most Ridiculous Blanket Statement. I'm pretty sure that nearly 100% of all affairs involve either cars, mobile phones, computers, or hotel rooms. So do those come under suspicion too?

I have upwards of 600 friends on FB and have yet to have an affair with any of them -- or even a suggestive conversation.

Mind you, I have had a couple of past flames look me up. But a polite and gentle rebuff pretty much clued them in that I was a happily married man.

The only exception? A girl I dated seriously when I was in college. She looked me up and we compared lives. When she however started in with the "Why did we ever break up?" routine, I quickly defriended her.

In short, Facebook is a tool. That's it. How it get used is the fault of the user, not the tool itself.

Why? It's a free service. It makes its money off advertising (Which is under pressure now, given FB's mediocre ROI). You might as well say that a television network is laughing all the way to the bank, too.

Let me guess. You work for MySpace.

I think a THIRD is too high. That seems excessive. I would imagine 10%, at the MOST. That anyone would carry a flame for someone, without having recently seen them and tested chemistry more recently, is a ridiculous basis for attraction.

"most people" don't go on FB to start trouble. Some people have issues, FB or not. I do have one friend who thinks FB is evil because her husband got back in touch with an old GF and left my friend. I can't blame her for hating FB but she knows and I know his issues are way deeper than FB. It would have happened regardless.
