Don't be Like Tiger Woods
The news has been crazy about Tiger Woods' infidelity "issues". So what is it, just too tempting since he has all the bucks and these bimbos have a way at putting themselves in his path? I mean, it's not that his wife is hard to look at.
Could it be the Bill Clinton Syndrome?
This is my theory. Sure, the money and social life have a lot to do with it, but I think it's more about what I call the Bill Clinton Syndrome (BCS). It all circles around one key concept, like a pack of vultures descending on some random carrion.
What drives many politicians, sports stars, and yo-yo rappers isn't fundamentally the money, it's a power/conquest thing. It carries on it's shoulders an additional burden that grows with the power - the belief in invulnerability.
To Be Rich and Bulletproof
Why else would President Bill Clinton use an intern for a human humidor in the White House and then smirk as he perjured himself? (Now, how was it you define the word "is" in Arkansas again, Bill?) Why else would that bastion or morality, Senator Barney Frank, let his boyfriend use their love-nest apartment as an office for a gay escort service? Did they really think they would get away with it? Yes, yes, and yes.
So I don't think Tiger Woods is any different. It was all about the conquest, even if they were all bimbo gold-diggers. Conquest on the links and between the sheets. How could he think he wouldn't get busted? Hello?
Avoid the BCS and be Happy
Sounds simple, eh? It really is for most of us. Go ahead and chase the bucks. I'm all over that. Just use commonsense and avoid the bimbos, or the boy-toys if you're a woman. And never ever be an Elmer Fudd sounding Senator who hooks up with a boyfriend who runs a gay bordello. Never.

I agree, but I think beyond the money, power and fame it all boils down to one thing: character. Sure, someone with average character or less is going to stray when all that fame is loaded onto his plate. But there are plenty of rich, famous people who don't cheat on their wives and keep good values. Maybe the money and fame just make it easier for some people to cheat. Given the opportunity, a cheater is going to cheat.
Yep. When people get their own way all the time I believe they do perceive themselves as invulnerable. I imagine it must be a big fright when reality hits.
