I THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING STORY I SAW ON YAHOO. I SAY WOMEN ARE BETTER CHEATERS THAN MEN, THATS FOR SURE. I ALWAYS SAY WOMEN ARE LIKE CATS…THEY COVER THEIR CRAP, MEN ARE LIKE DOGS, THEY LEAVE IT EVERYWHERE. BOTTOM LINE IS WHEN YOU CHEAT, YOU ARE CHEATING YOURSELF MORE THAN YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER…THATS MY OPINION:-)
Confessions: 7 reasons why women cheat
By Chelsea Kaplan
You’ve probably heard that men cheat for physical reasons, women for emotional reasons. Sure, there’s some truth to that, but when we asked real women around the country to share why they strayed from their boyfriends, we learned they had a whole host of explanations — from bad kissing to sheer revenge. Read on for the truth about why women have given in to temptation.
Reason #1: There’s no passion
“I had been with John for about three years — he was a really nice guy, and I enjoyed being with him, but there wasn’t a ton of passion. Most everyone we knew had gotten engaged, and though John would have proposed in a second, whenever he brought it up, I’d change the subject. I took a trip to Australia for work and while I was gone, I got together with a coworker to whom I’d always been insanely attracted. I had a fantastic trip, probably because for the first time in a long time I experienced that excitement I’d been missing. I broke up with John soon after I returned home and began dating the guy from the trip. Even though I’m not super-proud of my actions, things ended up for the best: after dating for a few years, the guy from the trip and I got married and we’re incredibly happy together.”

Reason #2: To delay a breakup
“Right before I was going to break up with my ex, Sean, he found out that he had to put his beloved dog to sleep. He was so broken up about it that I didn’t have the heart to end things, so I waited a month or so until he was in better shape. When things seemed to be better and I was ready, he lost his job, so I felt like I was back to square one! By that time I had met someone else that I really wanted to start seeing, so I went ahead and did it. I eventually ended things, never telling Sean about my extracurricular dating. I think I rationalized that I was trying to spare his feelings.”
– Stacy, 30, Lexington, KY
Reason #3: Because absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder
“My boyfriend Greg and I decided to do the long-distance thing after I was accepted to a graduate program 200 miles from where we lived. The first few months were fine, but I soon found myself becoming extremely attracted to my lab partner, Henry. What began as innocent flirting eventually wound up with us getting physical. After the program was over, I returned home to Greg. Being with him was really difficult, but I didn’t break up with him initially because I was still attracted to him, too. I visited Henry a few times and realized that he was really more of a fling, probably done out of boredom, and that Greg was the one for me. I eventually stopped communicating with Henry. I never told Greg about what happened, which occasionally makes me feel guilty, but I chalk my cheating up to being young and silly. He and I are still together, four years after my program ended.”
– Tamara, 33, Portland, OR
Reason #4: To avoid being left out in the cold
“I began dating Eric shortly after I had been dumped by Dave, my boyfriend of two years. I was devastated and Eric was definitely a rebound thing. After Eric and I had dated for five months, Dave came back and wanted to give things another shot. I still really missed him, so I began seeing him, but never ended things with Eric. I think I sort of kept Eric around for insurance purposes, just in case things didn’t end up well with Dave. Dave and I didn’t make it on round two, and after Eric discovered through mutual friends that I had been seeing him again, he ended things with me. I definitely learned my lesson about dating two guys at the same time, not to mention trying to rekindle a relationship that’s just plain over.”
– Jen, 28, Oak Park, IL
Reason #5: To make a break from a bad relationship
“When I was younger, I dated a guy named Ethan who was really critical of me. He constantly made little snide comments about my weight, how stupid I was and how clumsy I was. For whatever odd reason, I was into him, despite the fact that all of my friends and family hated him. One weekend when he was away, I met Will at a party and we completely hit it off. He was the complete opposite of Ethan — kind, sweet and generous, yet completely cool and fun, too. We hung out all weekend and it was like a light bulb went off in my head: This is how mature, relationship-worthy guys act. I kissed Will the night before he left and broke up with Ethan soon after. Will and I dated for three years and now we’re married.”
– Allison, 30, New York, NY
Reason #6: To find that missing piece
“I’m from Florida, so I adore going to the beach and boating, but my former boyfriend, Chris, a total city boy, hated it. We always argued about where we’d take trips, and he always won. About eight months into our relationship, I took a trip to Key West with my friends and we chartered a boat for the day. The captain of the boat was this totally hot, complete ‘beach guy for life’ type, and I spent the whole day flirting with him. We met him out that night and spent time alone together. I never told Chris about it after I got home and I never felt guilty; I think part of me felt like that’s what Chris got for being so stubborn! Chris and I didn’t make it, and after we broke up, I made sure any future boyfriends loved the beach!”
– Lizzie, 32, Chicago, IL
Reason #7: To give him a taste of his own medicine
“My last boyfriend was a total player before we got together. I thought I could change him but I was wrong. I always heard rumors that he was seeing other girls while we were dating, but he always denied it. One night, I got a call from a girl he had been secretly dating, and she detailed their three-month-long relationship to me and told me about another girl she had discovered he was seeing as well. I was so mad that I went out with my friends that night, dressed to kill, and spent time with the most attractive guy; I felt like it was the least he deserved! I loved seeing the look on his face when I told him about what I did and that I knew about the other girls. And then I dumped him!”

Vegas Stiletto Fitness basically helps you keep or bring your sexy back. Women are so giving of themselves to their children, their job, their careers, their husbands, their responsibilities, that in the end they forget to maintain their own radiance. It is a woman’s radiance when she walks in a room that turns head. You can have 3 kids and a husband next to you and you will still turn heads if you carry that sexy radiance. I am not talking about wearing revealing clothes that turn heads, I’m talking about your own personal sexy radiance when you walk in a room. It’s that confidence, that smile, that walk, that “I can do it all” attitude that makes not only the men in a room turn their heads but women too wondering what it is you have that they don’t. Vegas Stiletto Fitness helps you maintain your radiance, we all have it in us but sometimes we stop letting the rays shine in our lives. Let the light shine through you, and visit us at our next Ladies Night Out with Vegas Stiletto Fitness.
Just had a Vegas Stiletto Fitness Bachelorette Party on Saturday. Such a great group. Mom joined in and danced with us. One girl had a messed up ankle and another one had a messed up shoulder. But they still participated and made the best of it. Bachelorette girl danced all night with her friends. They danced for each other. This party was 2 days before her actual wedding..wow that was a close one. We did the song “Cream” by Prince. I love that dance.
THE BODY: If a stiff shoe causes blisters, spritz this area with water and use your fingers to mold the softened leather to the shape of your foot or try special inserts to reduce friction.
THE BREAST: The inner arch of the heel, which affects stability. The farther forward the arch, the less you will feel off-balance.
THE SOLE: Slipping on slick floors? Pick up a pair of sole protectors or score the soles of your heels with a key to create extra traction.
THE TOE BOX: If your toes feel pinched, have this area stretched out at your local shoe repair shop.
THE INTERIOR: If you suffer from low arches, slip in supports to relieve pressure on the balls of your feet.
STAY BEAUTIFUL MY FRIENDS…..~LISA
I started writing a journal when I was 16 years old and pregnant with my daughter. It was my only way to release my tensions, stress, & depression for being so young and pregnant. 22 years later, I still write in my journals BY HAND! lol So I’m catching up with technology now and am going to start blogging more here on wordpress. Doesn’t mean I’ll stop writing in my journals, old school way is always cool. My daughter, 21 now, has sometimes gone back and read my journals, I think it’s interesting how she gets to read my thoughts from when I was her age…
Welcome to my blog. Vegas Stiletto Fitness is my new baby now. I love her, nurture her, and help her grow. I am Vegas born and danced in many shows when I was younger. I then became an entrepreneur when I was 33. I believe everything happens for a reason and it took a lot of obstacles, pain, and a major heart break that lead me into the business world. Then I jumped into a store front business, a 5300 sq ft dance/martial arts/ & fitness facility that brougt more headaches, debts, pain, enemies, tears, & heart breaks. But the trial & errors I went through are priceless and the relationships I established and people I helped made it all worth it.
Now I feel seasoned as I begin my new life business chapter at almost 40. Vegas Stiletto Fitness & SMASH Dance is in a much better place. I am a stronger person with more experience. I know and understand what works and what doesn’t. Most of all, I have the perfect business partner now, my new husband Rob. Vegas Stiletto Fitness is going places:-) We came out in Living Social right before Christmas last year and sold 106 vouchers! What a great concept and helpful it is for small business owners like myself. Now this past weekend Vegas Stiletto Fitness was in Groupon. 173 vouchers! My goal is to get the name out there so that my certified instructors can grow their classes. So yes I loose money in the long run because consumers get a huge discount and the companies split any profits with me by half. BUT the marketing aspect of getting my name out there is remarkable!
I feel so blessed. My daughter is doing so well with her weight-loss and her life in general. I’m such a proud mom. My husband is amazing and helps me with everything. My mom, whom I was worried about because she had been having trouble finding a job lately is working for my sister who now became an entrepreneur too and opened up her own little taco shop restaurant. I’m so proud of her too. My father who was always a great provider but never so affectionate with his children, gave me an amazing wedding and “texts” me every so often. My life is at a very good point and if you were to read all those “hand written” journals I wrote in the past, you ‘d understand why I’m so afraid. Afraid of what? you may ask, afraid of what can happen, because life is too good to be true right now. So I pray every day for things to remain like this. I’m happy, and I don’t even know how to accept that sometimes. I drown myself in work because I feel afraid that my blessings may one day just stop. I love what I do so I don’t mind all the work, but I just hope my blessings remain for at least a little while.:-) I think I’ve paid my dues, I work hard, I’m honest, I’m sincere, I’m genuine to people, I treat people with respect, I help others, I pray and thank my God everyday for my blessings and I’m just all around a good person.
