Well, cheating at solitare is only cheating yourself I suppose, but I was taught in boot camp, that "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying"...

You can cheat all you want. Just so you're not one of those people who thinks draw-1 solitaire is somehow harder than draw-3 solitaire...

it's not unethical to cheat at any game, unless there are stakes involved (rankings and/or money) or another person playing with you who doesn't know that you are cheating.

if you need to cheat at solitaire to feel like a winner, there's something wrong.

unless there's money involved, no. if you're not betting money that you'll lose and she'll win, it's all good.

I don't believe in stealing, so not cheating is a close second.

Yes, I've learned the errors of my ways when younger. It doesn't pay, but life's experiences have to be learned the hard way. One feels better to do for others and share good things.

I don't even cheat at golf, so what's new?

Just don't mention it at a job interview.
"He cheats at solitaire! He'd be a menace to our corporate culture!"



Though actually they might not want solitaire-players - they might play it at work and waste company time. :p

No, but I wouldn't do it very often. She'll know you are doing it and her victories will feel tainted. If she ever finds out you let her win, she will forever ask if that's why she wins anything.
