Here's the deal (and thanks again to Ledge for a little of the inspiration here).

Would we cheat on our girlfriends? No.

Why? Because we would be the worst of liars.

So we've established that we think this behaviour is morally bad and, therefore, we can logically deduce that people who do it are morally bad.

Do we want girls who have good morals? Yes.

Then there is your reason to not get involved with such a girl.

Furthermore, if this is morally bad behaviour for her and you are, in legal terms, her accomplice (or worse depending on how much deliberate seduction takes place). Therefore, you are a morally bad person too. The blood is no your hands and it won't wash off, 'Out. Damned spot!'

The only premises here are 1. lying, especially to a person you are closest to (or at least feign closeness to), is bad, and 2. we want to be good people.

Voila! Box mutha fuckin' shut.


God I'm good.
Actually, that was so fricken easy I might tackle the 'Why be moral?' question after all.


Peace,
