I got a very interesting Skype spam overnight

[6:44:53 AM] marina_russia1: There are thousands of unhappy married women and men in every city, but they DO NOT want to leave their spouse. They want to stay married, but they want to have an affair without ever being caught. Our dating community is extremely popular! Having an affair can be stressful because you never know if the other person involved is going to get attached to you. You just want to have an intimate encounter and nothing else. A great thing about this Discreet Dating Community For Married People is that there is no cost to join. You can check it out, see if you like it, and then begin contacting married people for secret intimate encounters. Press here if you want to have an affair with a married person: link withheld

So I read it and wondered how many people would actually be interested in something this, and how big of an issue this type of thing really is.

Opinions?

Its a moraless group trying to make money of other people without morals thinking they're not the bad guy in this, if your not happy then get a divorce or leave, don't utterly crush they're self esteems

Jeez how rude D:

Cheating is bad mm'kay?

But seriously it's very bad! I was still amused by that though. XD

cheating is beyond bad, it's bad, its wrong, it's.... badong, thats right, cheating is badong

While an amusing ad, I'm not sure how anyone could dabble in this sort of thing.

I'm kind of old school, I was raised that way, I believe in getting married young and staying true, so I'm not too sure morally where someone could actually sign up for this sort of thing, but hey, there are some messed up people out there.

Hm, that is some unique spam right there.

However, I can see a few people signing up for such a thing. Believing no one would do it because you see it as morally wrong is ignorant.

[teer]

its not cheating if everyone joins in

Woooooooow, that amazes me that such a thing exist. I mean, it's sad but as time goes on... these sort of things just become less valued. Show me a teenager that has value on marriage, and you've found the Hail Mary. Either way, I'm sort of blown away by this.

[Lesserpawn]

Its badong indeed, badong indeed (wags disapproving finger)

I get a lot of 'colourful' spam too. I wish something could be done to stop the people who send out this nonsense.

I got that same message a few days back. Pretty lulzy.

I think the idea of marriage, and exclusive relationships to be a spillover from judeochristian moralisms, that have seeped into every pore of our society, and solidified.

But I have to agree, that if you take a vow to be loyal to one person, and you break that vow dishonestly, then you're a terrible person, though to be willing to do so, you must be unhappy yourself.

But if you're in a relationship, I could understand how having a conversation about keeping the relationship open could be a very scary thing to do, as many people do have a solid believe that monogamy is perfectly natural (and of course it is, there are other animals that mate for life), and that because of that polygamy is inherantly immoral, or wrong.

My personal belief that being open about polygamy can be just as healthy as monogamy, if not more so, because you aren't fooling yourself into this idea that love is a singular entity that can only be held for one person. It's a very romantic ideal, but unrealistic. Of course it CAN be a singular concept, there are many people that fall in love once and never fall in love again, even if their spouse leaves them, or passes on. But again, going back to the monogamy/polygamy point, love can be a thing between more than 2 people, and this is seen very often in media, ESPECIALLY in manga/anime. EVERY shoujo manga is about a girl who is stuck between two guys she is in love with, and because of these monogamous social norms is forced to choose one of them. Same with most shounen with any romance to them, especially harem manga of course.

Of course when it comes to love, it is always a personal emotional belief. You can't factor in logic. Which is why it astounds me how pervasive the social norms we have are. It's scary how much pop. media has ingrained these notions of relationships into the masses.

tl;dr
cheaters are slime.
open relationships are just as valid as closed ones.
love is a personal thing.

Yeah take it from someone who has felt the harsh cold steel of betrayal's zanpaktou........ in BANKAI FORM.
I've been betrayed, twice, it's not a fun 2 weeks after that

If I ran that site (for some reason, I don't know why), I'd only put together married couples to meet.

[Bonediddly]

Remember when people actually held vows to be sacred?

Yeah, me neither.
