* Who didn't feel a twinge of outrage during the scene in Bridget Jones's Diary when Bridget finds a naked woman in her boyfriend's bathroom? In a recent Cosmo poll, some readers admitted that when they found out their man had been unfaithful, they'd gone out and had a fling of their own as payback for their guy's philandering. So we asked Cosmo readers, when it comes to cheating, is an eye for an eye the best policy or a poor decision?

YES: revenge is deserved

14% WOMEN

21% MEN

"I've been cheated on too many times to let another guy get away with it. I say an eye for an eye, baby! If your don't punish him for straying, he'll think he's free to do it again because you let him go with a slap on the wrist."--Alana, 20

"If my man ever cheated on me, I would cheat on him with one of his closest friends just to make him hurt twice as much. Two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make things even."--Jessica, 24

"I'd definitely get back at my beau and cheat in return. But I wouldn't expect to stay in the relationship with him after I evened the score. I'd find someone who knows how to be faithful."--Krista, 32
