Dave said “Clearly, based on what we know now he’s been screwing around with LOTS of woman for many years. Clearly, he loves being the swinging bachelor.”
Tiger said quite the opposite. Something about having deep regrets. You can question the sincerity of what he is saying of course.[/quote]
Words are plentiful; deeds are precious. Apparently what Tiger’s been SAYING has, for quite some time, been the opposite of the truth (that is, not sincere). I believe the extracurricular count (alleged, of course) is approaching a dozen, and we have no idea how many are choosing not to come forward. So, you’ll have to pardon me if what Tiger SAYS doesn’t hold much sway with me.

Maybe he will be a sad and remorseful alcoholic with a bimbo fetish. Maybe the swinging life suits him to a tee and he will maike an business empire out of his fetish, like Heffner. Only Tiger knows, if anyone does. [/quote]
The phrase “bimbo fetish” amuses me. I would say that wanting to have sex with various attractive women (which you are referring to as bimbos, not me) is not a fetish, but rather a very typical desire of heterosexual males. You’re trying to make it seem as though Tiger’s desires are somehow out of the realm of normalcy – hence use of the term “fetish” – and I can assure you they are not. The only difference between Tiger and most men is that he has the opportunity to indulge himself, whereas most men do not. His mistake was assuming that he wouldn’t get caught in such indulgences while pretending to be in a “committed relationship.”

I don’t think he has ever been sure like you are about swinging or himself. I mean, you don’t seem susceptible to getting married and sprouting a few rug rats while in the midst of the bliss of the same life you claim that Tiger loves.[/quote]
Setting aside the money, fame, increased opportunities, etc…. the main attitudinal differences between Tiger and me in this situation are: (1) he wanted kids, I don’t, (2) he wanted the comfort of a (married) “home life,” while I don’t, and (3) he felt completely comfortable deceiving his family about his “outside” desires, which I wouldn’t. He wanted to have his cake (stable home life) and eat it too (extracurricular activities). I’m not interested in the cake. Different strokes for different folks.
