What is it with powerful, rich men who just have to go out carousing on their wives? I guess it’s a type A personality thing. Who knows. I wonder if Tiger will cry when he writes out that $500,000,000 check to his soon to be ex wife?
“$500,000,000”
No way she is worth 500 mil.
Can she hit a 350 yard fade and stop it flat in the middle of the green? I don’t think so.
It’s an opportunity thing. When hot chicks are throwing themselves at you everywhere you go it’s just too easy.
Well, he’s young, powerful, popular, has money, in decent health. Just like the sun comes up, there are women that will attempt to catch his eye, and don’t care he’s married. And he was stupid enough to be perhaps believe he’s untouchable and has it covered, and was thinking with ‘little tiger’ and made some very dumb choices.
But there are a lot of very beautiful women who prey on rich influential men......There's never a shortage of them throwing themselves at these guys......
Not only are the men faced with constant temptation, but they are targeted and preyed on...... This isn't the casual encounter in a bar but a carefully choreographed intentional forced encounter with the intended outcome is to become the “Mistress's”.
These woman first stroke their ego's and then other parts.......
Rich men are not the only men who go carousing on their wives. Men are by nature polygamous; women monogamous. It is a societal construct and contractual within marriage that men should “settle down” and be “faithful.” It is counter-intuitive.
I cannot say definitively, but I'll give it a try with a few observations...
• Once marriage is done external beauty has little significance unless it is done purposefully for him. A wife with the correct attitude toward her husband will be beautiful regardless of looks, and a harpy will be ugly no matter how many magazine covers she has occupied.
• Many women push husbands to second place once kids show up. Some of this is normal and understandable – there are only so many hours in a day. But when hubby is only offered up the table scraps of his wife’s day (and sometimes not even that) why is a woman surprised when her husband is tempted by a four course dinner elsewhere?
• The “road” is a dangerous place for a lot of reasons. A guy who is not properly grounded can get into trouble. If a guy like Woods is not grounded he is a HUGE target for all the women looking for that BBD (bigger better deal).
• BTW, it is not only rich powerful men. It's just easier for a wealthy man to arrange “whatever” than the average middle class guy, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening at all socioeconomic levels. That perception is probably based on publicity. Nobody wants to read about the overweight bus driver in a beater getting a frying pan to the noggin for wandering. But lots and lots of people are following the billion dollar golfer taking a chip shot to the face for putting in the wrong course.
• Many guys at the top of whatever profession they are in are arrogant. In some respects it is part of what got them there. They think they are something special and the rules that are there for everyone else don’t apply to them. For example: Armstrong can write all he wants in book #2 about how all of the pressure of drug testing, etc. etc. pushed he and his wife apart. Me? I suspect he forgot the pre-cancer nickname he revealed in book #1 – FedEx – because he absolutely positively had to have it overnight. That arrogance along w/ the other pressures listed here and… Pfffttt! Gone.
If Woods cheated then shame on him. There were many other proper steps he could and should have taken if there were/are problems. I view it as a parable; others may choose to as well. Beyond that we ought to just leave Woods and his family alone.
