well THEY said yes because they were both being underhanded about their whole date thing...but normal people i would assume disagree
Dear "love and war" Overanalyzers & Disagreers:
um, WTHeck? It's just a simple expression with simple meaning. Here ya go... Most of you missed the point.
On the other hand... No rules = do whatever you want.
Is this the motto that you live by or do you just talk the talk?
What's it matter to you?
Just a question, didn’t mean to word it so harshly, mistake on my part. My apologies kind sir...
I think you bring up a good point actually..
I agreed because I think this statement is really supposed to only apply to "love". It's a comparison to show how brutal love and courtship are.
Cultural Dictionary:
People in love and soldiers in wartime are not bound by the rules of fair play.
The proverb has been traced back to John Lyly's 'Euphues' (1578).
ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR -- The rules of fair play do not apply in love and war.
Cf. [1578 Lyly Euphues I. 236] Anye impietie may lawfully be committed in loue, which is lawlesse.
In love and war, every stratagem is fair, they say.
[1845 G. P. R. James Smuggler II. iv.]
Idiom Definitions for 'All's fair in love and war'
This idiom is used to say that where there is conflict, people can be expected to behave in a more vicious way.
The cliché implies that people can suspend the law or the rules in special circumstances.
Proverb
unpleasant behavior is acceptable during love and conflict.
Anything goes, by whatever means, nothing is out of bounds.
Behavior that is unpleasant or not fair is acceptable during an argument or competition.
When people are single, everyone is pretty much free game. That's why you also have to keep your wits about you and not expect loyalty from strangers. For the most part, I have no hard feelings towards the other single ladies trying to cast their nets wide.
yesss!!! CzeCze gets it, 100% right on!
I agree with having no ill feelings towards other single people trying to cast their wide net, because then that would make me judgmental, and I only have my own actions to account for.
If other single people want to cast their wide net; then who am I to judge. But that doesn’t mean that I would necessarily behave in the same manner.
The place I live in is a warzone… it’s what people would refer to as “the hoodâ€â€¦ So trust me.. I know about keeping wits and not expecting loyalty from strangers... But it seems like your only applying this saying to other people...What about your actions? If you agree with the saying, then that means that you yourself are willing to cast your wide net to everyone.
All = everybody….married, engaged etc....And All if fair = by any means necessary.. So you yourself then would do whatever it takes?
You had to take it there, huh?
Eesh, why you gotta make it all complicated??? LOL.
Again, my comments were thinking strictly about single people. But, even when I am in relationships, I know that there are others who do not respect relationships and have no qualms about flirting with and trying to steal my SO away from me.
I shouldn't have used the "wide net" analogy, bah, I realize it sounds like saying that all people are potential romantic partners...but the thing is...you should assume "everyone else" DOES think like this.
As for myself, nah, I stick to people who are either single and unattached or possibly in open relationships.
CzeCze, I'm with you, PREACH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, someone laid back up in here, HIGH ON 'P', that I can actually understand!!!
Not complicated people, not complicated!
