Would you cheat on your girlfriend if she cheated on you?

My buddies and I are talking about if it's ok for a guy to cheat on his girlfriend if she does. Let's say the relationship is 1 yrs old. The girl just cheats on the guy, while together. Would you try to forgive her or cheat on her and make it equal somewhat. Now i'm saying that a wrong and a wrong doesn't make it right, but at the same time if the only way for the guy to forgive her is by cheating on her (just once) that's a different situation... what do you guys and girls think?

    You know my favorite quote when it comes to something like this? Muhatma Ghandi said, "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind." Cheating sucks no matter which side of it you're on. And if the relationship is such that this metaphorical guy thinks that he needs to cheat to make things even between them then maybe the girl isn't worth it.

    Sadly, I am an expert in being cheated on; I've had 3 boyfriends and been cheated on three times. Three times! And there's still no way I would cheat. Each time I brushed myself off, gave the guy the finger and told him never to talk to me again. Sometimes they try to come back (one guy bothered me for 2 months after his "cheatee" broke up with him) but why the hell would I trust them again like that?

    There's no perfect formula for relationships, but cheating on someone because they cheated on you is stupid. It's not worth lowering yourself like that.

    I think if anyone cheats then the relationship is automatically over. Cheating is not love, why stay in an unloving relationship when you can find someone better who will respect you and treat you right. Like you said two wrongs don't make a right, you cannot cheat on someone who cheating on you because there is no more trust after that.

    nope, i wouldn't sink to her level. i'd keep my pride and dignity and move on. no i would not forgive her, but i wouldn't cheat on her just to spite her.

    so basically it comes down to is:

    do you believe an eye for an eye?

    for me, i just think back to the phrase: an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind
