To What Extent Does The Double Standard On Cheating End?
Huffington Post

It is always an argument about girl's that can't do the stuff guy's can. And why not? I can never get an answer except girls aren't allowed to. Who said? The male species. Interesting. But to what extent does it come to an end? Heres a start.

1. Cheating.

What is considered cheating? And should girls be able cheat to get even with their boyfriends? Or do you think cheating is something to be overlooked and stay in the relationship? What makes you feel your partner is being sneaky?

Girl view: When you are dating someone, you get the nagging feeling that something is not right. Especially when the guy is acting in a way that makes you suspicious. For example, a guy acts distant towards you. You can have a conversation with him , and he seems a lil' distracted and tends to look at his phone a lot.

Another thing is thinking about someone else during sex with your significant other is a step towards cheating. A guy being too friendly with another girl. Or a guy barely responding back to your phone calls and text messages. Or a guy doesn't care when another guy is flirting with you right in front of him. Basically a guy who is not putting effort to keep you makes you suspect something.

Cheating the first time is a mistake. Second time is a choice. And I would never take somebody back if they cheated on me. A girl who cheat to get even is immature. What does that person gain from making the situation worse. That adding more drama to your life and risking your health.You don't want to be the girl who gets HIV from that movie "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" by Tyler perry. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Guy view: I think a girl is cheating when you see less of them. Or when the girl doesn't want to have sex or isn't affectionate as she was in the beginning. Also, it is cheating when a girl gives her number to another guy. Depending on the situation, though.

Another thing is a girl taking rides with her co-worker who is male even though she has a boyfriend. I barely know a guy that will go the extra mile for a girl who is not even his. Unless he wants something in return and it tends to be the case.

A girl who cheats to get even is not being the bigger person in the situation. When you hurt each other, nobody wins. The girl shouldn't worry about revenge at all. If a girl cheated on me it would really depend on how long I been dating her or who she cheated on me with (someone that is close to me?). But I would continue to date the girl even if I don't trust her.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
