Guest Post: The Cheating Detective: Whatever happened to following your gut?
The original Bad Girl and Baggage Reclaim’s old deputy editor, Vixen is back! Would you spend a few grand to find out if your man was cheating?
I was reading an old article of Cosmopolitan about a woman that’s carved a business out of being a cheating detective. She’s like a private eye with a twist! For about three to five grand, she will consult with you about your man, learn his hangouts and type of chicks he likes, and then set up a sting operation to catch him cheating. The level of cheating depends on you and how much you are willing to front, with some women going up to $10,000 asking her to set up their men in all kinds of situations.
She’s totally anonymous, never sleeps with the guys, uses a fake phone, fake email and has a staff that helps her to set things up. She will dress up, go out and flirt with your guy, catch his attention, get his number and then start calling/texting him until he asks her out all the while recording everything for your viewing pleasure.
The more I read the article, the more flabbergasted I became. Why in the world would one spend so much money on finding out if her guy is a cheat? Honestly hun, you could learn all that for far less money than hiring some expensive decoy. And what would drive a woman to make that her occupation? Sure it’s all business and stuff, but how can you live a life that every date, every pseudo relationship is a constant lie?
This just proves to me that there are truly stupid people in the world and a sucker born every minute. Instead of spending thousands of dollars finding out if he’s a cheat, just listen to your sixth sense, and follow the clues under your nose. Duh! Most of the time if you do suspect something, you are probably right and you can find things out of your own. Use the money instead on a fabulous vacation to get over your broken heart like a trip to some exotic island or Europe.
Oh, and the cheating detective says that 90% of the time, the man takes the bait and gets caught cheating with her. Suckers.

Yeah…I had my girlfriends ask me to fly over to my guy’s place (another country) and confront him, we had this long distant thingy. Now the air fare, the accomodation would amount to a whole wad of cash and all for what - to confront a man who was to coward to tell me the truth.
I knew deep in my heart he was lying, cheating and finally in the last months just plain draggin me along but it was me that refused to face the fact and it was me who was hoping for this frog to change into a prince. The truth is not out there, its within us but when we are too scared, too angry, too hurt to face it and most importantly accept it, we resort to these tactics.
It was bad enough that I was being pathetic by loving someone that never really loved me or wanted me. All the time I was trying, he was playing and toying and I am supposed to sink lower by confronting this low life.
I saved myself the cash, read the No Contact, kept writing to this blog, it has been so comforting, kept returning to me and the core of who I really am.
