MySpace Cheating

MySpace is such a part of people’s lives, that it’s not surprising the popular social networking service is being blamed for relationship woes. One such star-struck lover wondered if her man was cheating because of his behavior on MySpace. It seems the lout was engaged in such activity as adding primarily female friends, who then left suggestive comments on his profile.

Do I think he’s going out and sleeping with these women? Probably not. I’m pretty sure he’s just playing pretend. He’s hitting mid-life. He just upped his commitment level to a woman (you) by moving in with her. He wants to play “I’m still young, rich, and single.” Understandable.

That said, he is lying – to you and to these women. He’s not just “socializing.” He’s playing a computer game, a Sim City, of sorts, where he can be whoever he wants to be. The problem is, MySpace isn’t Sim City. It’s a network of real people, some of whom are local. MySpace is not a game.

Or maybe the poor guy just got spammed due to his profile security settings. All my friends on MySpace are hot chicks too!
