The Eternal Quest For Strange, and the Silver Platter

There is a lot of hoopla going on about Tiger Woods and his indiscretions. I personally don’t understand what all of this hoopla is about. Face it, Tiger Woods is a rock star; he is rich, handsome, and popular. Tiger is in the enviable position of being able to have any woman he wants…enviable to the average guy anyway.

All guys (or at least 99% of them) are on the eternal quest for strange; and ALL guys are susceptible to being offered strange on a silver platter. Considering Tiger’s position he has been rather tame. I know his wife is hurt, but she should talk to the ex-wives of Mick Jagger, and other rock stars; they would be glad to tell her that it all comes with the territory.

Unlike women, men are not used to having members of the opposite sex offer themselves up to them on a silver platter. When a guy has achieved enough money, fame, and looks, that gorgeous women willing throw themselves at him, he is literally like a kid in a candy store. “I’ll have one of these, and two of these at the same time…” you get the point. It takes either a very strong man, or one who is very happy at home to resist this temptation; and few of us are either one.

To all of you ladies out there that has a mate: if you are not making sure he is very happy in the bedroom; you are a fool. Every dog has his day, and one day some woman will offer what he wants on that proverbial silver platter. You can take care of him now, or swear and call him names later when he cheats, or dumps you for another woman.

To all of you guys neglecting your mates: you are even bigger fools. If your wife is not happy all she has to do is go to some bar and offer it to some guy on a silver platter; it won’t take long before she finds a taker. You can pay attention to her now, or pay (literally) later.

Let’s face it most of us are weak in the face of temptation. To be strong we need to be smart enough to stay away from places where temptation lurks, and we need to maintain a loving, caring relationship with our mates.

Ah, the never ending dilemma of instinctive desires and physical attraction. I guess humans will just be humans. At one end, we were given our brains to be able to discern whether a certain behavior is right or wrong. On the other end, we are given genes that could only care about propagation. We're probably on semi-automatic mode all the time; trying hard to put our will on manual transmission. I'm sure many will be forced to contemplate on what you said, Mike. It's a very thought provoking article.

Hi Ryhen! That is the point in most of my posts, to try and get people to think. I don't really care what they think as long as they make up their own minds. We are in drastic need of free thinkers. Thanks for your thoughts. I agree most of us are on semi automatic mode.
