Is Social Media Making It Easier Than Ever To Cheat?

"So tell me the truth did you flirt with my BFF on Social media?"

An overwhelming number of  top divorce attorneys said that over the past five years they have seen an increase in the number of cases where cheating using social networks has been used as evidence.
I’ve been told by many of my single female friends on Facebook that they get hit on by more married men than single men. The married guys also list their status as married, and they post pictures of themselves and their wives. Is that bold or what? This is another example of how out of control and disrespectful men have become towards their significant other. It’s also a reflection of how desperate they perceive single women to be. Larry, who is a married 38-year-old teacher in New Jersey, made his point crystal clear.
 “Why should I hide the fact that I’m married? That’s just one less lie to tell when we hook up. If she takes the bait with the understanding that I have a wife and kids, she’s accepting that it’s all about having sex, period!”
I recently did a show titled, “Does Facebook cause divorce?” It was based on a study done by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. In it, they stated that an overwhelming number of the nation’s top divorce attorneys said that over the past five years they have seen an increase in the number of cases where cheating using social networks has been used as evidence.

You know You have my  attention, now!

 If I may just add my two cents to all the above: In my humble opinion the problem lies in the audience that Social Media provides.  Back in the day a guy had to give account to his boys how many new  females he had sex with, a weekly status report of some kind... Now social media provides an audience. and unless you are really good at covering your tracks, and still being able to show proof that you are playing and you are creeping. Now we all want to be stars on stage.. and social media provide the ultimate stage. But what most don't understand  is the Many-to-Many relational data-flow that occurs whenever you post something. You can't monitor how far your post will reach if you though it wouldn't reach the one person you didn't want it to reach you would restrain from making moves online (period).   If You are a cheater you run the risk that you will get caught, and getting caught can be very expensive. but in the creeping guy's defense.... I tip toe here....!
 Some women have used sex, or the lack of, to manipulate men into getting what they want or to get revenge. Some women ration out sex for the sole purpose of control. It is no secret that women have used sex, or the lack of, to manipulate men into getting what they want. It is nature’s erotic tool to hammer out deals and adjust the situation to suit her needs. Likewise, it can be used as a primitive weapon to shoot down a man’s ego and kill his masculinity. This, BTW, can cause a man to creep. If you want a good man to stay home then stop playing him and stop pulling his string.
