How to Spot Cheaters, Con Artists, Commitment-Phobes, and Other Wrong Men

The Cheater:
Like the con artist, the cheater is an excellent actor -- and an excellent liar. They usually will try to make you believe not that they have nogirlfriend, but that they have an ex-girlfriend (or wife). This accomplishes several things: One, it gives you an opportunity to feel sorry for them. Poor man had to suffer through whatever torment that evil witch put him through, but now he is free! Two, it gives them an opportunity to vent their frustrations about their partner. If a man is cheating, he is probably unhappy in his relationship, and wants someone to complain to -- and women are good listeners. Three: It provides an excuse for the fact that "Amanda" is calling day and night. One way to spot a cheater is to carefully observe his cell phone activity. Does he always keep his phone off or on silent? Does it frequently ring, and he not answer it? If the answer to either of these questions is 'yes', you at least know there is someone out there he doesn't want to talk to when he's with you. The reverse applies as well -- does he "miss" your phone calls, only to call you later from outside or in his car? If so, you have reason to be suspicious.

Also like con artists, cheaters run the gamut from being very sneaky to very obvious. Some, especially married men, have cheating down to an art. They carry changes of clothes and multiple credit cards. They have several email accounts and phone numbers. They have fake jobs, and even fake residences. These types are much harder to spot, because they have already worked out a routine to fool you. In this case, use your intuition. If your gut is telling you something isn't right, do further investigation.
