carhill Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 People will often make situational value judgments about those they like or are attracted to or whom have a charismatic hold over them. Look at any popular public figure for examples. I always use JFK but that's kind of dated now. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sugarkane Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 If they cheat and lie on their own partners like my ex, what makes the friends think that they won't receive the same treatment? They think that the person won't also lie to them! Lol people are sheep and go with the herd. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

carhill Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 When one looks at even the most optimistic statistics about infidelity and assumes that only a minority of those instances are publicly known, that's still a staggering number of humans who would otherwise be completely socially isolated if everyone judged them globally on their acts of deception and betrayal of one person. Humans just aren't like that, evidently, and, hence, life is a mixed bag. Watch the family (blood family) of a cheater for more insight on the process. Link to post Share on other sites

darkmoon Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 they take the cheater's side if the cheater's SO did not make them happy, hits them or insults them alot say, and did not try to be better company, or says no to sex, so that badass cheater then needs love elsewhere not what ppl might want to hear, and i know the cheater should move on and break free in order to get a new love, but some gravitate to a feel-good fling which is then the SO's problem Link to post Share on other sites
shayla Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Cheaters are good liars, and will spin it until you are the one at fault and all your mutual friends will hate you...if that is what he wants. Before you know it, you will be second guessing yourself....dam* were we in the same relationship? How did I end up being the one with the problem? Cheaters should take up acting, it uses their natural talent... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Owl Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 OK. he question was: Why do people take the cheaters side? was answered by: Because they're cheater apologists (Someone who defends cheating) Kinda some circular logic there, ya know? So...why are people "cheater apologists"? (Please don't tell me because they defend cheaters...LOL!) Are all "cheater apologists" cheaters? If not...what reason would they have to defend cheating?

BeyondtheClouds Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) OK. he question was: was answered by: Kinda some circular logic there, ya know? So...why are people "cheater apologists"? (Please don't tell me because they defend cheaters...LOL!) Are all "cheater apologists" cheaters? If not...what reason would they have to defend cheating? People may side with a cheater because: 1. they know that person in real life and has a stake in a relationship with that person; ie, relative, business partner, etc. 2. in the abstract, that person feels the need to defend cheaters because either they have cheated or leave it as an option; and will try on various fronts. for example, even though someone is cheating, they don't deserve to be snooped on. or the relationship was going down hil anyway. I've noticed this in discussions about opposite sex friendships. It's usually the attention whores who will accuse others of being insecure whenever the subject is raised.

Woggle Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Because it is always good to root for them when you aren't cheated on yourself. Some people also do it out of gender loyalty. Link to post Share on other sites

(Please don't tell me because they defend cheaters...LOL!) It's not rocket science, Owl, nor does it have anything to do with "circular logic." The OP asked a question and I answered it. You may not agree with my answer and that is okay, but trying to bait me is useless. A cheater apologist is pretty self-explanatory. Are all "cheater apologists" cheaters? If not...what reason would they have to defend cheating? You assumed that, not me. Link to post Share on other sites
