    I always find it amazing that as soon as one comes out and says "I a homewrecking biyatch," there's always a slew of them to follow almost immediately!

    Oh, and Mayoiegan, its a word. He was refering to the fact that the amount of sex that he had access to would be mesmerising. Not the women behind it. True, not the most eloquant way of saying it, but there you go.

    Regardless of the situation, that word is totally insulting to any woman.

    It's a harmless slang term. Cop on and stop being so easily offended. People like you are the reason the world is now plagued with all this politically correct madness, where a person can't say anything for fear of who it might 'offend'. Poor you and your delicate little mind.

    He could find a woman he loves and wants to raise kids with who agrees that they both can ride other people. So both of them get access to the children all the time.

    Can you not see why that option is so unpopular :D?

    I very much doubt any man who is truly in love with a woman would be perfectly happy at the idea of the love of his life going getting screwed by another man. Personally, I'd be driven mad by the thought.

    As for fucking loads of women, what does it achieve?

    I mean, you're not doing it for bonding purposes or to have more children because you're already married (unless you're a total cunt of a father). All you get out of it is a short release of endorphins, a rush of pleaure. And considering all the ramifications of such casual sex it's hardly worth it, is it?

    If you were that rich and famous you'd easily be able to get a precription for oxycodone and you'd have more than enough money to afford a habit should you end up with one. If pleasure is all you are after then choosing this over sex is a no-brainer. If pleasure is not all you are after then why would you have casual sex?

    I would like to assume that most men would prefer to get married and have a happy life with one person than have access to loads of P*ssy (as you so crudely put it). I would say personally that that would get a bit old after a while.

    Life is not all about shagging a million people and having that level of wealth and posessions. Actually, that would be my worst nightmare.

    Life is about the simple things imo.:)

    Would you get married if you had the wealth, status and fame of Tiger Woods?

    If I were him I would never accept a monogomous relationship with any woman, I'd want kids one day, but I'm sure with the options he has he could find someone great who agrees to a non exclusive relationship who would have kids with him. The sheer access to pussy would be mesmerizing. I honestly think less than 1 in a hundred men wouldn't cheat on their wife in his position.

    You could have out that a bit more eloquently. Anyway just because you obviously are out for one thing it doesn't mean that all men are. Your 1 in a 100 thing is way off I reckon. Some men want to chase as many women as possible while other men actually desire for a family, a loving trusting relationship and a home.

    While probably all men would have more temptation I think you overestimate how many would act on it.

    How about this: It makes no sense for wealthy and powerful men under the age of 40 to get married. That way, they spend their younger years having as much casual sex with beautiful women as they can cope with, and then they get to settle down once they get that well and truly out of their system.

    Makes sense to me, anyway.

    His marital status probably added a lot to his wealth. Being portrayed as a straight living family man and all that.

    Also he is the best golfer ever ever.

    Casual sex aint the be all and end all...I know plenty of men single as well in a lot of cases who could be shagging a different woman every night and arent interested

    You get dicks like tiger woods in every socio economic group, money and his job might make it easier to score but I'm sure had he been a average joe he would have had the same desire to sleep around

    As for the idea that nearly every man would cheat can I just ask a question to those who would....do you have any concept of respect either for yourself or your spouse??

    A man is as faithful as his options.

    No a man is either faithful or not regardless of his options.

    Statistically, more than one in four marriages in the US involves cheating (defined in various ways). I would guess that this may be higher among couples involving a very wealthy and/or powerful man just because they will have more options for cheating due to groupies/golddiggers/hangers-on, etc. (I think it was Chris Rock who said "a man is a faithful as his options").

    edit: dammit, InKonspikuou2 :)

    Probably true, and I'd say the same could be said for couples involving a particularly beautiful woman. Either example has an incredible amount of choice and options in the sexual sphere, and it'd be quite difficult to never give in to the temptation at least once.

    Wow, you got some great morals there....

    Not every get's married for the sake of having kids or because they don't have mesmerizing access to pussy. Most people actually get married for the commitment and to spend their life with one person.

    And you honestly think less than 1 in a hundred men wouldn't cheat? Wouldn't like to meet any of your mates.

    this confuses me. whats the point of getting married?

    I think you can learn to be ok with your girlfriend banging other men. Truly loving yourself first is a prerequisite though and most people will never truly love themselves.

    Everyone is pretty much after good emotions. Whether it's sex or bonding with a child or feeling certain about your environment and future.

    Sex with different women is a great feeling, banging the same woman over and over again just isn't the same.

    In 49 previous posts in this thread, I spotted only one mention of a pre-nup: a pre-nuptial contract, specifying the financial and other arrangements for the assets of the betrothed. This is exactly what they are for: to protect the assets of a megawealthy person who wants to get married to a (relatively) poor person.

    Tiger and Elin Woods have a pre-nup. We don't know exactly what's in it, but the consensus (a.k.a. guesstimate) among e.g. People Magazine, Slate and others I've seen is (a) it's fairly generous, (b) it doesn't have specific infidelity clauses, (c) under the law in Florida, where they live, any attempt to have it set aside would probably fail, and (d) even if it was set aside, Florida law talks about "equitable" distribution of assets, not "equal" 50/50 division.

    When oil billionaire Howard Marshall fell for a bimbo 63 years his junior - Anna Nicole Smith - he didn't want a prenup, because he was "in lurve" After he died in 1995, his family took Anna Nicole to court over the estate. The case is still in court, despite the fact that Anna Nicole herself died nearly three years ago.

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    How is that stunning woman any better than a prostitute... If the only reason they're sleeping with you is because you're super rich then they may as well be on the street selling themselves.

    Dont you mean renting themselves ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭scanlas


    Had some of the women involved in this had a bit of respect for themselves, we wouldn't being having this conversation.

    How do you know the women don't have respect for themselves?

    They showed they don't respect the institution of marriage, I don't see any evidence they don't respect themselves.

    That's very disrespectful to prostitutes. Prostitutes don't sell themselves. They exchange a service for cash.

    I don't think Tiger Woods really cared about the reason the hot women were sleeping with him, he got what he wanted.

    I'd just be too worried that if she's seeing some guy biology might kick in and they end up falling in love, which could destroy our relationship (her love for me would crash) and our living arrangements (and thus my access to my children).

    I'm not doubting that some people might be able to get such a thing to work, but it seems like an awful lot of effort just to stick your willy in some sluts. Imo, there are more important things in life.

    Agreed, but actions have consequences. To maximise long term pleasure you don't just run around doing whatever gives you an instant buzz.
    Sex with different women is a great feeling, banging the same woman over and over again just isn't the same.
    To which I say "Oxycodone is a great feeling, having sex with women just isn't the same".

    It's a strong prescription opiate used by rich celebrities who can afford "personal doctors" (so they don't have to use teh nasty street stuff).

    Its a good point before it came out Tiger Woods to me came across as private but family man also.

    How wrong I was.

    Yes I be same as you I would never get married as I would find it hard to trust a woman as I feel they be only after money. Just look at all the ugly men who are mega rich who have hot wives or girlfriends would they be in same boat if they had no money I doubt it.
