A Dummy’s Guide to Cheating

Avoid being like Steve Phillips by avoiding chicks like Brooke Hundley

Share

(Newser) – Steve Phillips had it coming, big time. Here's what happens when you get horizontal with a crazy chick, writes Mandy Stadtmiller for the New York Post: They always blab about the affair. To the would-be Steve Phillips of the world, she advises that you pick a woman who:

  • Doesn't think you're all that. Make sure she doesn't have that glazed, dreaming-of-our-2.5-kids look in her eyes.
  • Has a career. Ideally, that means she banks $50,000-plus, and keeps her focus on work—except in bed.

  • Isn't a texter. Open that door and you're in trouble.
  • Has a boyfriend, or, better yet, is married. Self explanatory.
  • Can keep a secret. Reveal that you're the worst at keeping secrets; if she says "me, too!" move on.
  • Considers you just one more notch in the belt. Better to end up with a disease than a messy divorce.
  • Is not 22. Repeat, not 22 years old, and just dying to fall crazy in love.
  • Loves ground rules. Especially the ground rule, "This is purely physical."

Don't look so stunned, Steve Phillips. Sorry, dude, but you asked for it.

Crazy chicks are going to keep the dress. They’re going to obsess over the details of your private life. They’re going to take every text message as a secret sign that you’re planning exactly the right deserted island upon which to propose.

Rule No. 1: If you cannot or will not be monogamous, don't get into a monogamous relationship. Rule No. 2: If you are in a monogamous relationship and do not want to be monogamous, DISCUSS IT WITH YOUR PARTNER. They may be okay with a non-monogamous lifestyle. But even if they're not, it's better to break up than to lie to your partner. Reply
