Thread: So...How many is enough.

Wilt chamberlain claimed thousands, and you know what they say about ****roaches:"if you see one in the open then there are hundreds in hiding.
Well, 11 are in the open now with Tiger Woods...11 women. Who knows how many more in the shadows who will not show themselves for one reason or another.

I personally have trouble handling one let alone 11. Forgetting for a second about the immense damage I would be doing to my family I don't see how one can mentally or physically keep up with more than one woman and even if I could ignore the pain I would be causing my wife and children I just wouldn't have the time to have an affair...

How about you? How many is too many? What about Woods? Does this change your opinion of him? I never really had an opinion of him but I do now.

From all accounts I've read so far, it's not like he had 11 romantic affairs at the same time. He had sex with a number of different women at different times over a period of many years.

Honestly... it doesn't really change my opinion about him. He made mistakes, and now he is paying for them. He was irresponsible and hurt his family.

He didn't kill anyone, rape anyone, beat up anyone...
The man's not perfect yet he's not a criminal either.

Fwiw kennedy was much, much more of a womanizer as is said to have had a hunger for sex with anyone wearing a skirt. Yet he is highly regarded as far as presidents go.

I have seen first hand what can happen when a man has more than one at any one time. My father in-law has three wives (well actually only the first one is his wife, the rest just live here). Everyone lives together like one big happy dysfunctional family. The only good thing is that if I get angry at my brothers in-law who are not from the first marriage I can call them bastards and it's ok. Because they are.

A guy I work with, one of his grandparents has a wife and a mistress, they all live together.

I don't think it's changed my opinion of him. I don't think what he did was right, but good people do stupid things. Money and fame don't help much. By all accounts, my uncle was the same throughout his first marriage.

One of the main differences between my father in-law and me is that I have had the opportunity to see what a terrible idea it is to even consider more than one woman, where as he had to learn through his mistakes. One thing I have learnt from my father in-law (even if he doesn't realise this yet) is that just because you can get away with it is not justification to do it.

Most likely he has been scr**ing around rather than have a steady relationship with that many women all at the same time.

I couldn't care less how he runs his personal life but I feel sorry for his kids (if he has any) and his wife who must be very disappointed. I never was a fan of his and this hasn't changed my views of him.

In his seminal hit "T for Texas". Jimmie Rogers, the father of country music, sang,"I've got more women than a passenger train can haul." In my younger days I got around a little bit myself coming of age in the era when 'free love' was blossoming.

I don't have an opinion on Tiger but he doesn't make a patch on '50s rhythm & bluesman Screaming Jay Hawkins. See this article here if you want to be outraged. BTW, your comparison of c0ckaroaches coming up **** makes me wonder about the filters on this website.

Well, you know the old joke.

What's the penalty for bigamy?

Two wives!

As for athletes and other famous people who do this, I think it is awful what they do to their families. If not married, they are all consenting adults, I don't much care what they do...but once they are breaking promises to spouses and obligations to children....it's awful.

Remember the old days of the double standard when a promiscuous woman was treated like a leper but a man who played around was a hero? It seem we've done a 180 as a male celebrity is shamed by his actions when the females involved are lining up to say, "Me too! I'm a slut, too!" The same action was wrong on both sides and yet they seem to enjoy the limelight of their notoriety. When did we become a society in which misbehavior has become something to crow about?

Some people want their '15 minutes of fame' at any price. My generation and those that preceded would keep our 'skeletons' in the closet even if water boarded. Now people get on Oprah, Montel, or worst of all Jerry Springer and tell the world if they get the chance.
