carhill Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Epically stupid. A blond woman was rushed to the hospital this morning from their home. I hope it was not his wife. She has two babies that need her. News story on woman hospitalized I hope, overall, he treated people well on his way up. Otherwise, oh boy....
OWoman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 These women did not run out to the media after sleeping with him. Running to the media is tacky. Whether one does it immediately after shagging some famous dude, or down the line when there is more kissing to tell about (and more $$ to be made). I suspect the real reason they sold their stories was not because they thought he was a snake for having more than one OW, but because, once the press was onto it, they knew they'd get no more glitter-by-proxy from him, and so they got it from the next-best source. How many ow's are ready to be honest with the wife AFTER it is over. Dunno? Sure, there are some here, but I don't know any IRL. The only As I know that have been disclosed in this way to BWs IRL are those that ended with the BW dumped and the OW and MM M. I can't honestly think of any dumped OW of my acquaintance who have kissed and told. Most people I know have more class and discretion.
Author greengoddess Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 lol and it's not tacky having ten ow's? Please you can't tell me all these women are out for the fame. They are hurt and lashing out. It certainly doesn't make you all glitter and glitz being one of so far ten ow.

It certainly doesn't make you all glitter and glitz being one of so far ten ow. I totally disagree.. I think ALL those OWs were after him because he IS TIGER WOODS.. take the same guy (not very attractive IMO, he looks like a clown) WITHOUT the fame and the billion$$$ .. do you honestly think that these women (very attractive) would have been his OWs.. I do NOT believe that for one second.. Tiger Woods IS one of the most famous celebrity on the planet... we're not talking about any average Joe..
turnstone Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 So you're saying OW are *that* shallow. Ok, I believe you.
Lizzie60 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 So you're saying OW are *that* shallow. Ok, I believe you. Nope. .I'm saying those OWs were.. we're talking about TW here..
Spark1111 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Speaking from my experience as a BS: How many among us have been devastated to learn of our WS's intense romantic relationship with an OW, and then, upon further snooping discover emails, flirty texts, web site affiliations, with women other than the OW? Sadly, many of us. In a depression, breakdown, mid-life crisis, whatever you may want to call it, many MM go trawling to fill a need not unmet within the marriage, but within themselves. I am sure the OW, who thinks she is the only OW, would be devastated to discover what many BSs discover after DDay. And at the first IC session, when the shrink sees brazen stupidity, reckless risk-taking, and self-sabotaging behavior of this magnitude, the first questions would be: So for how long have you been depressed?

I do NOT believe that for one second.. Tiger Woods IS one of the most famous celebrity on the planet... we're not talking about any average Joe.. Oh please. Plenty of average looking guys get beautiful younger women who feel special because she can lure him from his marriage. So you believe if a beautiful woman is with a wealthy average looking man it's because they are gold diggers. There are plenty of middle class people that come from all ranges of appearances. How sad beauty can only be with beauty. Outside packages may attract you butthey surely don't make you fall in love.

It's very different thinking, OMG I shagged Tiger Woods! to slowly developing feelings for some guy at work. Typically, Rs (including As) happen between people of approximately equal status / looks (however one measures "mateworthiness"). A barmaid (or whatever else a cocktail waitress is) realistically KNOWS that a billionaire sportsman is out of her league. This is not the kind of R that just happens to be complicated by there being a BS somewhere in the background - this is the kind of A that happens exactly BECAUSE there is a BS somewhere in the background! They saw their chances and went for it - and if any of them were naive enough to think that there was more to it than that, they're kidding themselves.

Oh yes. Five and counting. I am sure the OW, who thinks she is the only OW, would be devastated to discover what many BSs discover after DDay.Yep, this too. I've read their replies to the email they all received informing them at least one of them has an STD and guess what they are more devastated about? Not the fact they'll have to have a sexual health check sadly. And at the first IC session, when the shrink sees brazen stupidity, reckless risk-taking, and self-sabotaging behavior of this magnitude, the first questions would be: So for how long have you been depressed? And not just depressed, but incredibly insecure. And that's hardly surprising, from this thread alone its obvious that some women can only place very superficial values on a man.

I think many beautiful women would be attracted to him even without his money and fame.
OWoman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Oh please. Plenty of average looking guys get beautiful younger women who feel special because she can lure him from his marriage. If she's beautiful (and younger, for whatever that counts) then why should the ability to lure some average-looking dude (M or not) make her feel special? If she's tuned into superficialities, like the ability to pull, then her beauty would already do it for her. Pulling some average-looking dude is only going to damage her brand - unless he has something else going for him (power, status, money, personality - whatever counts for her). If he's average-looking, and manages to pull a beautiful girl, it's going to up HIS brand, not hers.

Why is a billionaire sportsman out of league with a cocktail waitress? Being athletic certainly doesn't make you a candidate for mensa. They may have more mentally in common with the barmaid than the wealthy socialite or the MIT grad. Most Billionaire sportsmen were not born with silver spoons in their mouths or raised with a ton of money.
norajane Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I think what's truly frightening about Tiger is that he appears to be wholesome, kind, respectful, courteous and an all-American guy. It shows that this type of guy can suck women in big time and then show themselves to be among the very worst cheaters alive. If I were a woman looking for a nice guy who could be loyal I simply don't know what I would do. I am beginning to empathize with the plight of women who are looking for a genuinely nice guy who can stay in one place. Oh, dear lord, I have a friend who is all that - kind, respectful, a gentleman, charming, thoughtful - and he cheats, cheats, cheats on his beautiful wife and 5 (!) children. He loves them dearly and would be devastated if they ever found out, but he is that traveling businessman and he pursues women everywhere. He loves the pursuit. He's not even particularly good-looking, just average. But he's intelligent, very charming to the ladies and courteous, and has perfected the art of reading people and adapting to their needs. He's a salesman, both in profession and as a cheater. He sucks women in and turns their heads, and he's got women everywhere. His therapist says he has unresolved mommy issues. And he'll try to "be good" and not cheat for a while, but the next thing I hear is that he has his eye on someone he just met... You would never guess that this is who he and what he does, never.

Your thinking really gives beautiful omen no value whatsoever and just makes them sound so superficial.
OWoman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Your thinking really gives beautiful omen no value whatsoever and just makes them sound so superficial. I qualified my post by saying, If she's tuned into superficialities since you had said, Oh please. Plenty of average looking guys get beautiful younger women who feel special because she can lure him from his marriage. I certainly didn't claim that all beautiful women were superficial - but I did claim that those who were, weren't going to feel special by luring an average-looking guy... unless he had something else going for him.
donnamaybe Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Certain types of people feel "special" merely by being able to "steal" someone else's spouse. It gives them a feeling of superiority over someone else.

It gives them a feeling of superiority over someone else. No doubt there are some people like that. I've never met any but can believe they're out there. After all, Jerry Springer must get his "guests" from somewhere...

gopher Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Perhaps that question would be more appropriately directed to the OWs on gloryb, rather than to an OW board whose OWs clearly don't share that fascination. Since it's a topic about OW's, it seems to be a reasonable place to post it.

Agree with this for the most part, but didn't Matt Damon marry a bartender?
Heather1 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I grew up in L.A., so I've seen the whole groupie thing in action. This is a guy who never intended to be faithful, and because of who he is, thought he could do something as txt in front of his wife. Not the same as most men at all. The only thing that resembles our situations is that are we the only ones? Is it just 2 women? Or more? My situation in particular I think about, because he is so wealthy & because we met @ my work. My first question to one of his best friends (before any of this happened) was, "Is he like this to everyone?" Because of the situation the OW is in, none of us can be sure. BTW, athletes make lousy lovers!! Not into pleasing women at all....
Impudent Oyster Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Agree with this for the most part, but didn't Matt Damon marry a bartender? Not a bartender who looked like a worn-out old hooker!

skylarblue Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Do you ever wonder that you are not the only one? How did he snow everyone into thinking he was such a great wholesome guy? I sometimes think “what if my MM has an OOW”. It’s so hard for me wrap myself around the concept because I can’t it see/feel it happening. I think I know more about his daily itinerary than his W. When I first hooked up with him it was because he has one of the professions that I’m “groupie” of. And he does meet a lot a people, but he’s a regular guy who got a Tiger opportunity. I don’t think he’ll mess that up. As for Tiger being able to snow everyone into thinking he was such a great wholesome guy...what? As I said before, are people really surprised? Tiger played the part just as he was suppose to. He did he job (golf) phenomenally (all it takes for people to put someone of publicity on a pedestal). He kept his mouth shut therefore not becoming entangled in (controversial) issues. And he didn’t flaunt his affairs out in public. It all worked…until now.
