It\u2019s the social media age where everybody\u2019s an expert,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Influencing\u2019 the new sought after calling, the cheat code\nfor easy access to vocations once elusive,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modelling or fitness, travel experts, dancers and actors,\nperhaps a combination,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Screw the qualifications, just slap it on that \u2018about me\u2019\nsection,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the posers, braggarts and performers looking to get IG\nand Tik Tok famous, some branding themselves lifestyle and relationship experts\nlooking to sell you something,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Be an alpha version of yourself,\u2019 says they, a better you\njust a follow away,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hawking \u2018courses\u2019 to the masses teaching \u2018em to live like\nbosses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But a serious relationship doesn\u2019t seem a part of the\nsyllabus, at least not for most of \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why stick to one in the face of endless options? FOMO and YOLO\ncome together at the expense of true love and commitment, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But differences apply when it comes to opposing genders, as\nyou\u2019ll find out a little later,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So strap yourselves in, get ready to set sail, the forecast\npoints to wild and choppy waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Everyone knows a cheater, their reputations precede them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clinging to \u2018em like a bad smell, following them straight into\nhell,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infidelity once committed is mighty hard to remedy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bond you once had virtually irreparable, such betrayal\ndamn near unforgivable, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hell hath no fury like a partner scorned, they\u2019ll be crowin\u2019\nfrom their platform like Foghorn Leghorn,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deed once an act of shame but becoming all-too\ncommonplace, different day another victim, despite known consequences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet \u2018coaches\u2019 and dating \u2018experts\u2019, even so-called \u2018writers\u2019\nare giving the green light to their na\u00efve followers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the motives for such actions differ across the\ngenders,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In both cases boredom with your other is somehow an\nacceptable excuse,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Definitely if one feels too superior, it\u2019s a privilege they\nare free to abuse,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shit becomes addictive, it\u2019s an extreme sport of sorts, the\never-present thrill of getting caught somehow overpowering guilty thoughts,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talk about living among sociopaths and the narcissistic,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the world we\u2019re living in where hurting those that love\nus most becomes an act all too exciting,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Send the fucking asteroid,\u2019 no doubt many are thinking it,\nthe decay\u2019s gone too deep, worms and other vermin preparing to feast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though both sides have boredom with their others and the\nthrill of the action as common motivating factors, others all but exclusive to\nboth sides must also be taken into consideration,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Males taught they have the right to fuck with others on the\nside,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emotions left out of it, just a meaningless encounter, she\nneedn\u2019t know what he gets up to on the sly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Females can and should hook with others to strengthen\nexisting unions, good for the self-esteem which in turn make them better\npartners,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A victimless crime as long as they\u2019re never ever caught,\ncheating out of love, that\u2019s what they\u2019re being taught,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the kicker for both sides, their other halves\naren\u2019t allowed similar pleasures,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Kick \u2018em to the gutter and find you another\u2019, say their\nrespective teachers, suddenly infidelity redefined as an evil act of folly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guys being taught that she cheats out of emotional\nfulfilment and a sudden lack of interest but when he does it\u2019s just for kicks\nso the missus needn\u2019t overthink it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hers is an act of betrayal, a total heart ripper, \u2018she\u2019s for\nthe streets\u2019, they\u2019re being told, \u2018you deserve better, King, to hell with that\nhoe,\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, for the female\u2019s side, if he cheats he\u2019s the devil\npersonified,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas she does it to expand her horizons and\/or because he\nleft her wanting and dissatisfied,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018You deserve better, Queen,\u2019 they\u2019re being told, \u2018kick him\nto the curb, ain\u2019t worth wasting tears for that turd,\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck that for a sick joke, how does one side get a free pass\nfor a disrespectful act?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody likes a coward, near-impossible to piece together\nbroken glass once it\u2019s shattered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To the proponents of such behaviour, gotta ask y\u2019all a\nsimple question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you ain\u2019t looking to take a relationship serious then why\nnot continue on your lonesome?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay independent if you\u2019re looking just to hit and quit, no\none waiting at home to concern yourself with, you never wanted strings attached\nso why not remain detached?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if there\u2019s trouble in paradise, surely it\u2019s better to\nwork through \u2018em together, or part ways if the union has run its course or\nissues are irreconcilable,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aren\u2019t discipline and self-respect hallmarks of a true,\nso-called \u2018alpha\u2019?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to leadership qualities, integrity and an ability\nto keep one\u2019s self together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being a slave to one\u2019s urges and nether regions, it\u2019s a sign\nof weakness if you really think about it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That be some beta simp shit, the short term gratification\ndelaying inevitable destruction,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you\u2019re big mad while reminding your disciples that\nhaving the tables turned is unjustifiable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pot, meet kettle, if anyone deserves a taste of it better\nlook in the mirror, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You of all people should\u2019ve known that not all have it in\n\u2018em to be committed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for the record, no one\u2019s giving them a pass, on the\ntotem pole they\u2019re in the lower rung with the rats,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If both parties agree to an open door policy, spreading the wealth\nto the like-minded and interested, that\u2019s their own damn business, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To each their own, but don\u2019t assume such an arrangement will\nget everybody\u2019s vote,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some still believe in exclusivity and loyalty, \u2018til death do\nthem part,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One should be so lucky to find someone that goes all in, it\ntakes a real piece of work to discard \u2018em over cheaper thrills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So cut the crap, \u2018Coach\u2019, misleading and deceiving your poor\n\u2018stans\u2019,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Declining common sense and social media, they kinda go hand\nin hand,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead, encourage them to be liars, weasels and\ndegenerates,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Presumably you\u2019re right beside \u2018em in the trenches, a not so\nhappy ending is where y\u2019all are headed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think a mountainous conquest is impressive? Maybe to your\nhomies at the club but a real one ain\u2019t having it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t nobody want to get with the village bicycle, a tunnel\nthat been ran through many times over,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A fool bossed by the appendage from where he urinates, you\nsure you ain\u2019t carrying nasties up to and including AIDS?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such a life might seem a dream at first but it will quickly take\nits toll, too many bodies to keep track off, begging for more of your time,\nit\u2019ll mess the body and the mind,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you get all up in your feelings when your other half\nturns the tables? You reap what you sow, Farmer, gotta face the consequences,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if ever in the future you decide you want to change\ndirection and give that family tree some extra branches,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting your best foot forward but all the good ones aren\u2019t\nbuying it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t turn back the clock and neither can your minions, you\ncan try to keep it a secret but a past victim of your philandering is sure to\nexpose it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This game you\u2019re playing has an age limit, at some point you\nwill hit the wall,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019ll come a day where no one will be checking for ya but\nalas, a fulfilled and stable life might be out of reach for ya,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may successfully make amends and reinvent yourself, but it\u2019ll be a mighty tough stain to erase,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Once a snake, always a snake,’ they say, still on the hunt for future prey,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So take a break from the moment and take a look forward,\nthink about that for a second, does it sound at all appealing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If not better change your ways, stop ripping hearts, bad\nthings come to they who take others for granted, better wise up and stop the\ncap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
