"I'll just date another guy, it's not like it's cheating when I am only leading the guy on... we're only friends unless we have sex, a special nickname is fine. It makes my boyfriend really anxious? Why should I be bothered to care about his feelings, I know much better than him." If a male lead behaved this way we would already consider it cheating. The reasoning they give for girls to act this way in fiction is bullshit like women are incapable of telling the difference between friendship and flirting.
