What Do Men Really Think About Tiger Wood's Affairs?
Alright so just a while ago I was perusing the internet. Looking up nothing and going nowhere in particular. It was just one of those times when you just click on random links and it takes you somewhere and you click again, and again, and again, and again...and you wind up on some random person's Twitter page.
Again, I have no idea how I got there, I just did. So, I'm reading through this person's...um...tweets? All the way back to when *he* started the account. I wanted to emphasize the *he* part, as in, he's male.
As I was reading these tweets, I came across one regarding the Tiger Woods Scandal/Affair. I didn't copy and paste, but this was what it said, paraphrased, "I don't get the whole deal with Tiger Woods. So he f*cked some chicks. Who wouldn't? :D"
The emoticon really caught my eye. He was serious. The majority of his other tweets were filled with getting a crappy lapdance, drinking like there's no tomorrow, more drinking, partying, drinking...well, you get the idea. He's not exactly what I would call a 'man' nor is he the sort that's high up on my respect scale. But, his Tiger Woods tweet caught my eye. I have heard women talk about the affair and what his poor wife should do...but I haven't heard one single guy's opinion on the situation until today.
Why is that? I know it's celebrity gossip and men don't really follow or care about that sort of stuff. But this is something that degrades all men, so you'd think they would have had some sort of a reaction.
I want to know more mens' reactions to this. Yes, I realize it is old news. But I still want to know what men think of the situation.
Men, do you side with this guy? Guys cheat all the time; women should just learn to deal with it. Or do you take the other side? It's a disgrace to men everywhere and it's never justifiable. Or, do you take the middle ground?
Ladies, if you reply, please tell us what your hubby/boyfriend/fiance/SO said. I'm pretty sure that what women think of the whole ordeal is pretty clear cut and dried. I'm looking for the males' opinion on this one.

My hubby and I both agree that it is none of our business. I haven't even thought about his affair until I read this. I don't get how HIS behavior degrades anyone but himself and his family that he hurt. No not all guys cheat and this kind of behavior is not unique to men. Women cheat. As far as what other people do in their relationships, it has nothing to do with me and mine.
What a great topic *sarcasm*. Next, let's discuss whether or not men and women can be friends...
@sevencrystaltigers@xanga - you said it before i could.
@sevencrystaltigers@xanga - You didn't have to read the post if you thought the subject was stupid...nor did you have to reply so negatively. Also, it is really so horrible that I want to hear more mens' views on the subject of cheating/affairs, especially of this magnitude? Trying to get into a guy's head = horrible.
@Erika_Steele@xanga - I understand that not all guys cheat; I also understand that women cheat as well. My intention saying that it degrades all men is what it does to stereotypes. He's a public figure and that will lend itself to creating/furthering stereotypes against men. As unfortunate as it is, his actions will influence what other people feel about men and cheating. I should have clarified that a little better, sorry.
Really ask yourself why do you want to open this Pandora's box? I think the lack of responses from guys says it all. Personally I think Tiger was dumb for doing it, not the affairs but the whole married thing. Deep down inside you know the real answer to this all to well, you just want it validated.
Nice post! But http://whatmenwantwomentoknow.blogspot.com/">what men want women to know? Men are simple, just learn how to understand them, for some tips check out ---> http://whatmenwantwomentoknow.blogspot.com/">this
Me and my husband generally believe that cheating is wrong. Though we haven't paid much attention to the whole tiger thing, we still believe that cheating is wrong. What that person said, Is disgusting. If he's married, he shouldn't be messing with other girls. Don't commit, if you're not going to stay committed. Don't take the vows, if you're not going to take them seriously. "For better or for worse", you can't just check out when it gets worse. Otherwise, why the heck is that part even in the marriage vows? My husband and I share the same view, on that.
@Lydia_Lynne@xanga - Nah, your question was valid. Some people just have to go out of their way to respond to things they don't like and be negative. Instead of oh, say, ignoring it and moving on with their life. Drama always has to be created for no reason. Sorry, you're having to deal with that. I hope you get some men's opinions... I'm sure you'll get some.
I will add my huby's 2 cents. he says that a man that cheats is not a man. but rather an idiot in a man's body.
yupp
@pholowme@xanga - You're bitter.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - As a lemon dipped in vinegar! However, that's not why I responded the way I did. Change and reality are not always beautiful. Faith and hope are for people that are not based in reality so they do little to affect their immediate future. The Lion approaches so the Ostrich put its head in the sand, this solution only works out for the Lion. My longwinded point is my message was crude but needed! But I do understand some people need to lie to themselves to make their life worth living.
@pholowme@xanga - Actually, it is. The only time you respond is when it's something bitter. Reply on ireallylikefood. Change it up. Explore chocolate.
Men Cheat and Woman Cheat apprx 50% of marriages.
Men are more likely to get caught.Tiger Woods got caught bc he cheated w publicity whores. Thats what I (single male) think about TW affairs. Not really my business...or many people outside of him/wife/?exwife.Cheating is wrong. It isn't the worst thing in the world. I don't believe they deserve death or even harsh ostracization by all of society. They just deserve a dumping and a cold shoulder by the person they cheated on. Maybe in some situations they deserve hatred or something... But it's not as if he didn't do a ton for his wife. It's quite possible that he did love her, he just can't be the type that has a monogamous relationship.. And considering how it's taboo for people to admit that they can't do monogamy, it was probably too tough for him to express this to his wife before deciding to cheat on her.
Yeah.. I think I went on too long here, especially since I don't really know much about the situation because I avoid celebrity gossip like rape.
But somewhere in there is an opinion on it.
Cheating is always wrong and disgraceful.
But this whole topic I didn't really care about. When I first heard it the immediate thing I was presented with was jokes about this, mocking Tiger Woods and his affairs.
In a guys world everything tends to fall into comedy, I understand the issue is real and serious but it's not my issue and I know I won't follow in suit. So I'll just laugh at all the cartoons and what not about it and move on.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Were you going to comment on the actual post or just attack other readers?
what does it mean if guys don't believe in cheating, but they want threesomes?
I don't think it's a big deal, and neither did my fiance. He can do what he wants, and should only have had to deal with the natural consequences (like having his wife divorce him). The extra press coverage was dumb. Quite frankly, I don't think that human beings are wired to be monogamous, and if we just got rid of this ridiculous notion that it's ok to be jealous and possessive of those that we're supposed to *love*, our society would be a lot happier. But what do I know?
I don't think you would have gotten negative responses had you had left out the, "I'm pretty sure that what women think of the whole ordeal is pretty clear cut and dried" line. It was kind of off-putting.
@donspike@xanga - Pretty sure I was going to do whatever the fuck I wanted.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - lol
also you xanga music is whack....lol
anyway is it wrong guys cheat? uh yea. why not just break up with the girl? Like would you want someone to cheat on you? Its pretty much the same as leading the girl on, which isnt cool. No, you cannot possibly have your cake and eat it too.
@Lydia_Lynne@xanga - not a dumb topic. :)
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - I love you!
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Damn. Way to get defensive, Little Miss Touchy!
@donspike@xanga - Miss Touchy, that's what she said! ... No? I got nothin.
I honestly wonder if men who are telling their sig. other their opinion to type on here are telling their true opinion. Would their response be the same if a guy was asking and the answer would never get back to the sig. other, as when their sig. other is answer to post on a website full of women? I know some would but.... I'd put money on the fact that plenty of answers would be different. I'd ask mine, but he's asleep :).
Well the response by the guys on the radio show i listen to was more like "He's the man" && they were pretty much surprised that he could cheat with that many women while still playing aswell as he did, and getting away with it for so long.
i also think its pretty funny that so many girls commenting talk about how their "boyfriends are against cheating". come on. you cannot actually take that for granted. of course they're going to try to make sure their girlfriends believe that. but in all reality, if the situation was right, and the girl was attractive enough, nearly all men are willing to cheat.
Also, lets not just assume that Tiger's wife is some innocent angel. So she landed one of the best husbands (richest, basically) ever. now shes famous and she doesnt have to work or worry about things that most people do. i think you deserve a little infidelity. karma works both ways.
