So when have you been in Tiger's situation? And no I am not talking about your hot wife, lovely kids, tons of money and career. But when have you had someone offer up some loving that you had to refuse due to a relationship? What magical power did you exercise?

Why would you need magical power to say no if you have any character?

I just said no. No magic to it.

I understand what you are trying to ask, but the problem is NONE of us here (unless Bill Clinton is a regular) have ever been in Tiger's "situation".

You are overlooking the extreme difference in the lifestyle we all have from Tiger Woods.

Money is POWER - the more money, the more power. You can't really appreciate the very unusual pressures of celebrities or sports figures making bazillions of dollars. People like this are surrounded by leaches and other blood suckers who want a piece of that success in whatever way they can get it.

Unscrupulous young women literally THROW themselves at men like Tiger. After years of all that adoration and attention it becomes real easy for men like him to start believing the hype - their egos become larger than life and both heads swell

Even the most well-grounded men can falter under such extreme circumstances. I am not saying this is right of course, just that it happens. But the fact remains, it's not the norm and not what any of us here can likely truly relate to.

My husbands former friend made some advances and was quite verbal about what he was interested in and I said...get this...I said "NO!"

It actually worked...

Back in college I had a gf and she had a friend that I could tell was way into me. Not bragging here. She was so obvious about it at times I'm surprised the gf didn't get pissed off.

It wouldn't have taken much if you know what I mean....

Yup. To be honest, I am attracted to men of character so it's never really been an issue. Just once on a business trip for 4 days and I just said no. I don't think he expected me to say yes.

Good post, and actually, quite a fair one.

I used to live in Los Angeles while working in acting/modeling and dated some very rich men. I also have been around the music scene. I know about wenches, money and star f******. Not all rich men act like this at all. Next excuse? Because I also know what it takes to get to that level. An EXTREME amount of personal control and discipline. The ones that don't exercise that talent to be loyal are not good people.
