Oh, I certainly don't care if celebrities have affairs.
The only fault I can find regarding his situation is that no one forced him to get married. He could have boned 98 bitches per year as a single man and literally no one would have cared.

Before, not many people thought of Tiger as a jerk, but some of us did. Now everyone knows he's a jerk. Not much to say about that. But one interesting part of all this to me is finding out how Tiger had special rules which allowed him to skip press conferences during tournaments, etc.; how golf reporters knew they could never dare to write a word about Tiger's cursing or club-throwing incidents or else they'd lose all access to the Golf God, etc. Not that any of this is so surprising given Tiger's importance to that sport, but just the idea that someone who has spent their entire adulthood with such complete and utter control of their entire world, who has to deeply believe he really is what his Dad said he is -- "the Chosen One" -- what happens inside such a person's grotesquely-inflated head when it all comes crashing down, and for such a stupid, stupid reason? It'd be fascinating to see inside there right now. Nice dissertation topic for an aspiring psychology student! From the Wife angle: If Elin has any sense, she's not letting him within 10 yards of her till he's been tested for every STD known to man and probably beast, too. Even then, having seen the types of skanky ho's he's been "involved" with, she's got to be vomiting just thinking about letting his overworked private bits anywhere near her bits ever again.  |

Sponsors would have cared. Tiger needed the trophy wife in order to make babies.
I don't. It's human nature for men to want to have sex with attractive women. Tiger, as arguably the most desirable man in the world and travels year-round, couldn't resist those urges.
The sensible choice for Elin would have been:
Elin: "Half. Now."
Elin takes $7245 gazillion dollars to Norway and does a few token pictures with Tiger to please the public. Fin.
Truth. Tiger has some questionable taste in ladies.

Okay, so for you, the continual and systematic betrayal of the trust of one's spouse does not qualify a person as a jerk. Your hubby's a lucky man! I hope he's aware of the tolerance you accord to desirable married men who don't resist their natural urges. Tiger should have married you instead of a club-wielding berserkerette! |

I think that if you're going to marry a high profile athlete, you have to walk into it aware that something like this is a serious possibility. That's not say that all men who are in a desirable position are going to cheat; merely that it's a possibility. Worse, if it does happen, every disgusting little detail will be available to you, and everybody else in the world. This is the reality of marrying people in those positions.
Sure, Woods' decisions here range from questionable to just plain gross, but they're not surprising. And he's going to pay dearly for it anyways, so all is well in the world, isn't it?
I was surprised that nobody commented on this before now, too, Leelee. I checked this forum last week for it, but didn't care enough to make my own thread on the matter.

The fact that the wife of a high profile athlete should be aware that her husband may well cheat on her doesn't change the fact that if he does so behind her back, especially over and over and over again, he's a jerk. That is, unless the couple have an agreement that extracurricular sex is okay. I'm sure there are some women for whom the luxury lifestyle more than makes up for hubby's lapses, but Mrs. Tiger doesn't seem to be one of those.

I've always said that sex outside marriage is fine, as long as we're open about it and we still "love" each other/doesn't affect our relationship. I guess I'm different with my extreme sexual liberalness. Put yourself in Tiger's shoes, guys especially (well, there aren't straight ones here, but whatevz)... EVERY woman wants you. Very beautiful women. You're away from home most of the year. For Mrs. Elin to think that Tiger will only and always just want her is extremely naive thinking. This is why most athletes cheat. It's not because they're of less moral strength than mbost of us, it's because they CAN. They can with zero effort. 99% of us would be the same in that situation, and you're lying if you say otherwise. Maybe we wouldn't screw total skanks like Tiger, though. |

I guess I'm different with my extreme sexual liberalness. Yes, you are different. You might not want to bring this up when you attend those Palin rallies.  You belong to the 1970's, when "open marriage" was all the rage. Unfortunately it turned out that open marriages most often led to divorce, and the whole rage died down. But hey, it might work for you two. Here's the thing, though: both spouses have to agree that their marriage is an "open" one. Elin obviously had no idea she was in quite such an open marriage, that is, open on a daily basis to every slut or porn star that Tiger's fixers could throw at him -- well, not ANY slut; apparently they had to be white, but that's not the point. It does seem that Tiger failed to discuss his marital views with his marital partner. But so what if I think he's a jerk and you don't. The whole world is never going to agree on anything. I'm just glad more people are now onboard the Tiger's-a-jerk ship, which used to be just a tiny rowboat and is now the size of a moving continent, much to my satisfaction. And schadenfreude.  |

They can with zero effort. 99% of us would be the same in that situation, and you're lying if you say otherwise. I actually agree with this. The reason people don't cheat is that requires at least some effort to find a third party and there's a risk of losing a relationship after which it may well be difficult to find a suitable partner again. Obviously Tiger Woods and other extremely rich and famous pro athletes are not in the same position. He can easily screw any blonde bimbo he wants. And there's no risk of ending up alone either - even with all this hoopla I'm sure there are legions and legions of women who'd start a relationship with him without thinking twice. However, it still means that most people don't want to share their sexual partners with others, so I'm not surprised his wife reacted the way she did. But at least she'll be able to take something out of her relationship with Woods. About 300 million things, if I remember well. |

Also, I find it a bit hard to believe she didn't know anything about his affairs until now. I think it's more likely she kept waiting for him to change or whatever and eventually go sick of it. And at a good time, too. She gets tons of money and she's still young and attractive enough so it won't be too difficult to start over. Another 5 years and it may not would have been the case. People sometimes tend to act more rationally than given credit for.

If I were famous, I'd be boning all of the Spanish Davis Cup team, and even that wouldn't be enough. But I still stand by the fact that no one forced Tigre to get married, and, even if he did that to gain more sponsors, he should have used more forethought to realize that he would fuck up, and end up with an overall net loss of sponsors in the long run. He got greedy...he thought he could shut everyone up. Journalists and lawyers are wimps, they were easy. But, come on, at some point, one of the skanks was gonna get the ball rolling. |

I suppose he wanted to have everything. A beautiful wife, a clean image of a family guy plus all the bonus money that comes with it and every skank which came his way. And for a while, he did have it all. It can't last forever, of course, but it must have been good for him while it lasted. |

True. Many of my workmates have said how stupid he was for thinking he could get away with it... but the skanks have good reason to be quiet. They're banging Tiger, and you know he's lavishing them while doing so to keep them happy. But, he got addicted to it and got too many skanks. Gotta know who you're working with.
What I find interesting is how Tiger reacts after this. The days of swearing on course, being a control freak, having your caddy threaten people... he ain't getting away with that anymore.

Mind you, jerk isn't really my adjective of choice for people who cheat. I'm far more offensive than you. I just don't care enough about Woods to muster up the appropriate vitriol for this situation. |

This is the part that's fascinating to me, as I said right away -- what must be happening in his head now, watching his whole beautifully-constructed existence crumble around him, and how will he react on the outside, too. Tiger Woods, The Chosen One, as the butt of everyone's jokes? It can't be! Even sympathizers are laughing at the Tiger jokes (okay, maybe not his Mom, except in private ;D ). Not the image he ever imagined for himself, that's for sure. I wonder how long he'll hide? |

I guess I'm different with my extreme sexual liberalness. Of course it's not cheating if you've got an agreement. You're playing by the rules, you simply don't follow the same ones as most. Whatever works. |

Also, just curious as to where Tiger goes to get some action now ... the price he's going to have to pay to keep the ladies silent is probably astronomical by now, not to mention he's not even showing his face outside his house, so where can he meet them. And as I said I'm sure his wife isn't making herself available. Stock up on the porn and settle in, Tiger! Poetic justice: Tiger's not gettin' any right now. more schadenfreude! |

Whoever said the following things has correctly seized the essential points:
- Tiger was incredibly stupid and arrogant (and had unbelievably poor taste to boot)
- Having an extra-marital affair is never a particularly good idea, no matter how tempting it is and no matter famous you are, and especially so if your spouse has not agreed to the principle (in writing if you are a famous person)

It is obvious that he didn't love her.
Men in relationships always meet other very attractive women that they would like to fuck.
The reason they don't do it are
1- They love their wife/girlfriend and don't want to hurt her
2-They love their wife/girlfriend and don't want to lose her
Tiger didn't care for that

Surely for any married, infidelity-minded celebrity the #1 Rule is to screw around with people who have just as much to lose as you? Not random skanks who will assuredly be saving every text, email and photo they can for a rainy day. At the start of the month so many skanks were emerging so regularly that it seemed a bit like a Tiger Woods Infidelity Advent Calendar, one each day. Did you all see the text messages he sent one of them? Seriously hilarious: www.nypost.com/p/news/national/text_messages_between_tiger_woods_lh2ptFU8WhzJEBD8f2CCgOTiger: [later, in response to Jaimee's mention of a date who was "full of himself"] you kinda like that for some reason which is weird why you decided on me.
Tiger: having an asian mother and a military father you cannot and will not ever be full of yourself
Jaimee: I have fun with u, you always make me smile and I am not afraid to be myself or say anything to u ... the day I met u I thought u were going to kick me out a few times but for someone reason you didn't and u have told me numerous times I talk to much but slowly as I get to know u iI think your absolutely amazing
Tiger: you are wrong I'm bone thugs in harmon |
