Dan clearly didn't know 'the rules' about cheating, what an idiot!!!

I got a serial cheater friend who (according to him at least) knows everything about how to get away with it (he's married).

The rules are:
- Never cheat with single girls. Make sure they have as much to lose as you (a spouse), and thus cannot blackmail you later for whatever reason.
- Never cheat with coworkers (mixing business and pleasure). Unless they are stationed on a different city or something like that and thus cannot come in contact with your daily business, or anyone for that matter who knows your wife.
- Never cheat at home. You don't want one night stands to know where you live nor your phone number.
- ALWAYS strap up!!!!

You follow that and you'll be pretty much safe. Of course the window of opportunity narrows quite a bit, but better safe than sorry!!!

That may make sense to your 'friend', but not all men follow these 'rules' when commiting infidelity. Bill Clinton, for one obvious example.

The movie is not meant to be a 'how to get away with it clean and scot-free' guide to cheating on one's spouse. It was meant to have an element of danger in it - i.e. "one-night stand turns 'pscyho' and then poses a threat to Michael Douglas's family".

or, like in the case of dan and alex, the minute after he had his orgasm, he kills alex right then...that is the way to do it, just to be safe
