In the video it talked about how cheating could be linked to a hormone in ones head. How would you respond if your significant other used that as an excuse to cheat? Does that make it justifiable?

  1. I would feel really mad because, as human beings, we are higher than hormones. Hormones are no excuse for being unfaithful

  3. Even though their are chemicals in peoples heads that make us want to cheat ,we still have the choice whether or not to act on it. I would be angry if a girl said that but i would laugh in their face.--Jesse R

  6. in my eyes using it as an excuse is just wrong. People can fight past their hormones so it wont be an effective excuse.

  7. It would be no excuse. You should be able to control yourself. Just because you have that feeling of wanting to be with that other person doesn't mean you have to do it.

  8. Hormones should not be an excuse to cheat, you make your own decisions, and no person should use that as an excuse. Cheating is cheating..

  9. No matter what cheeting is wrong. If you're with a person, you're with them because you care about them. Hormones shouldn't be an excuse.

  10. Excuses are for A-holes, everyone's got them. I would tell her to pocket smudge herself and move along because i dont wanna waste my food stamps on her. I gave up going to the powwow with my bros just to take her out on a date to McDonald's!! Thats got to be love right??

    1. No but really. Cheating isn't right. What if your married? That still isn't cool. He or she has devoted their life to be faithful. If you break the vows you swore on, I dont know what to tell you then....so dont cheat.

    2. No but seriously. Cheating is wrong. Think about if you were married? You made vows to always be faithful. If he or she breaks them, then there's no reason to say I do. So honestly, whether your married or not....dont cheat.

  11. Cheating is cheating. You shouldn't blame your resposibilities on a hormone. Cheating is an option and if you want to go ahead and cheat then it's your risk.

  12. While hormones do have the ability to make people think about other potential mates while they are in a relationship, they are no moral excuse to commit infidelity. I mean, if you're in a relationship and you do care 100℅, then stay in it! -Greg P

  13. There is no excuse for cheating. Though the chemicals may prompt us to cheat they do not force us. This would be a poor excuse to cheat.

  14. There really isn't an excuse for cheating, and if you truly care about someone then there shouldn't be anything in the world that would make you do something that you know is wrong, especially if it hurts the one you love.

  15. I feel like some humans are not made to mate for life. They are going to cheat regardless whether they love the person or not. Some people may outgrow this but until then they might not be able to control their urges to cheat. That being said I personally would not stay with anyone who cheated on me or is thinking of cheating on me. I feel it is highly disrespectful. It may be scientifically justifiable due to hormones, but if that's the case then why would you want to stay with someone that is likely to do it again due to hormones. If that is the persons excuse then they probably shouldn't be in a relationship until they can figure it out.

  16. If my significant other used hormones as an excuse to cheat on me, they wouldn't be my significant other. Hormones may be an uncontrollable part of life, but the way you feel and how you act can most definitely be controlled. In my opinion, all relationships boil down to your feelings for one another. If you feel like it's okay to cheat on someone, then obviously you don't care enough about them or their feelings to be in a relationship with them.

  17. It is natural for an animal species to have more than one mate, so why is it so unnatural and horrible for a human to think of cheating. I believe humans are not made to mate for life because cheating and divorce constantly happen everyday. Who created marriage? Animals don't get married; marriage was created through religion. Using this likely instinct as an excuse for cheating does seem wrong for humans because of marriage.

  18. if my partner used this as an excuse i would be pretty mad and it would not fly with me at all. you should be able to resist it somehow or something. i would obviously break up with that person because than that would mean that they would use stupid excuses like that throughout the entire relationship and it would get pretty old really quick. cheating is wrong people! stay faithful-Silva

  19. I would be extremely pissed because if my significant other used hormones as an excuse, he isn't technically my significant other. Hormones are uncontrollable in our life and cheating is an option people make.

  20. In my personal opinion, I find it rather interesting that "cheating" could possibly be based on a hormone. Therefore, if my significant other decided to use that as an excuse for his actions, I would simply laugh. Apart from laughing I would not believe that absurd excuse, because I believe it is a choice to "cheat" rather than it being a hormonal instinct.

  21. Cheating is not okay. It doesn't matter if it's a hormone in your head. You can't cheat to feel enjoyment. A relationship is a relationship. You don't want to cheat anyway. Then you have to hide the fact that you're cheating. You have to hangout with both ladies all the time. Plus, you'll break their hearts when they find out

  22. I don't think that hormones should be an excuse for cheating. Cheating is a choice you make. If you truly love somebody then you shouldn't cheat on them. Scientifically, it may be proven that hormones have to do with it, but I don't think anybody would except that excuse.

  23. I feel that cheating can never be "justifiable." A person always has their reason for the action, whether its out of spite or anger...or maybe just boredom. If I put myself in this situation I wouldn't let my significant other use an "excuse" to cheat on me. But that's because there will be religion in my marriage and cheating is wrong, in that sense.

  24. Using hormones as an excuse for cheating is not ok. Even if cheating was scientific, there are more factors that play in to when a person cheats. These include the persons morals, etc...

  25. I would see that as a plausible excuse. Some people say that we can control our feelings but for others it's more intense. If a person does that and feels genuinely sorry then they are obviously sorry. We as humans are animals, and like animals it's in our genetic make up to do what we must to keep the species surviving. I'm not saying it's right to cheat and I would never do it. But for others it might be nesicary. Noe Per1

  26. I wouldn't be very happy with my other half. Because humans can control themselves better than most things out there. I'd also make him feel like a fool and cheat on him and say it was my hormones.

  27. I wouldn't accept that as a plausible excuses, if I had a girlfriend that ended up cheating on me and gave me some dumb story how it was some kind of hormones in her head I would first call her a liar then I would probably slap her.

  28. Hormones or not, cheating is not ok. You make have responsibilities, and using your hormones as an excuse would make you look stupid. Your hormones shouldn't affect you loyalty.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would probably be very angry. Hormones don't necessarily cause anyone to do anything. It's by choice that you do things. There's always another option than the one you choose.
    Justifiable? No. There's not really anything you can do about it. Unless you like to fight, then you could fight with the two.

  30. No matter what cheating is not okay, whether they have more chemicals or not, its not an excuse.

  31. no because you wouldn't even know if that statement was true unless he did a test for the levels of that hormone in the body. plus its just wrong for a human to do this. -taite

  32. I don't think that hormones justify cheating. Cheating is a choice and there is not an excuse for it. I'm sure that if they really tried to, they could overcome the things making them want to cheat. If your in a relationship you need to stay faithful and honest. Cheating is not okay regardless of your hormones. If your not happy then break up with them. Don't cheat.

  33. I don't think that cheating should ever be an option in a relationship to ever think about like ever because its just wrong. maybe not to animals but to humans its just messed up. if your gonna cheat just dump them.

  34. No, because YOU'RE the one who decides whether to cheat or not, not your hormones. - Gabe J.

  38. I don't think cheating could be justified by a hormone. why? because we also have common sense that could prevent that from happening. We also know right from wrong when we make a choice. for every action has a reaction and if you truly loved somebody there would be not thought of cheating.-renaye

  39. So I commented but I don't think it showed up...
    anyways, I do not see this as a proper excuse. Hormones may give us the desire or want , but it definitely won't make you do anything. It brings a desire, a temptation, but many things in life are temptations and desires . Doesn't mean we need these things or cannot live without them. Cheating has no excuse, there may be a desire or want, but nothing can make you. Just because you want something desperately in a store doesn't make you steal it, most people will pay for it, almost everyone. This is because we can hold back from temptations. There is no excuse for what you have a decision for. if my boyfriend cheated on me and used this excuse , I would laugh at his reasoning, And in no way would I think it was acceptable.

  40. No it doesn't make it justified. If someone cheats then they chose to do it. It's not the "hormones" fault that you did it. Its your own fault.

  41. I Don't think its justifiable at all if you like someone else then break it off. Hormones don't make it OK to be a jerk.

  42. The thought of cheating could be caused by a hormone, but you still have the option of not to cheat, so therefore it is not justifiable

  46. It wouldn't be justifiable to use that excuse. In a civilized way in america, we are in the wrong to cheat. And we can't use harmonies as an excuse. Everyone is not an excuse.
