Assuming that I was single, no, I wouldn’t date him. I don’t LIKE sports at all, and I would imagine that he’s into sports, not just as a job, but as a hobby, too. It doesn’t matter what his skin color is, I wouldn’t be interested in dating a guy who is really into sports. I tried that in college, and it meant that I could either go with the guy to a sports event, and be bored out of my skull, or pass on the date, or he’d try to find some other activity but he’d resent not being able to go see the game or event.
Then there’s the fact that he’s a cheater. I don’t think that he’ll change. Again, skin color has nothing to do with this.
Either of these would be a dealbreaker for me. And I think that point number two would be a dealbreaker for any woman with any self respect.
Sorry, I was operating under the old rule, “If you have to explain the joke, it’s wasted.” I didn’t even think about racist implications, which made my attempt even more nonsensical (why would a swastika-wearer date Tiger Woods anyway?). Ah well, they can’t all be winners.
I never really got from Mr & Mrs. Tiger Woods that they had anything other than a business relationship to provide arm candy and periodic breeding services. So, I’m not offended by the cheating but he probably talks about golf a lot. Snooooooze.
Really? Do you know them? I would think the fact that she smashed his car windows out with a golf club and divorced him would seem to indicate that she didn’t view it as a “business relationship”. And periodic “breeding services”? Yuck.
No, I don’t know them. Its just the impression I had from every single public interaction. Yes, I did find it a bit “yuck.” he seems like a jackass, but unlike her, is not a domestic abuser.
I actually found him attractive, even before I found out what a “Lothario” and, uhm, verbologist he was and felt that I would “date”* him, if the chance were there (me woman, or him gay).
However, no way now. Not simply because of the diseases he might have caught because of the serial beds he slept in; he, like all of us, could be tested and vetted. It’s the now-known propensity for serial and spontaneous cheating (sexual addiction? No one’s called it that yet) that’d be the problem, bringing up not only the issue of making any actual negative tests moot but the expectation on betrayal everytime he went to the store for milk.
And like somebody upthread said, that juvenile and unimaginative texting shit that was published probably indicates he’s a dud in bed. Dude, you lost me at “I want you to beg for my cock. Kiss you all over to convince me to let you have it in your mouth,” and I like dirty talk.
A really together woman doesn’t try and beat her husband with a golf club.
And what have you heard that makes you think she’s intelligent? I’m not saying she isn’t, but she hasn’t really said much through this whole thing to give us something to go on either way.
I don’t think that anyone is being racist here. For instance, I said that I wouldn’t date him because of his occupation, interests, and dating/marriage history. Just because a woman wouldn’t want to date a particular black/mixed race man doesn’t mean that she’s racist. It only means that that particular man isn’t someone she’d date. If she wouldn’t date ANY man who is a particular race or mix of races, then she’s racist.
I know racism. I was brought up to be very racist, and I’ve struggled to overcome that upbringing. If I were single, there are certain men who I’d date, and some of them are nonwhite. I wouldn’t choose a dating partner on the basis of race. However, there are some black men who will accuse any woman who don’t want to date them of racism…and that’s just as bad, because it’s assuming that someone is racist, rather than acknowledging that not every woman is going to be willing to date any man.
I thought she beat the SUV with a golf club and he hit his face on the wheel when he hit the tree. But then, I don’t care enough about either of them to have followed up on what any “official” report on the subject might have said.
And yeah, scamartistry? You’re really reaching there. Quite a number of responses have been “er, maybe before all this BS, but not now” or something similar.
No. I don’t think he’s offering what I’m looking for. (Stability, a father for my future children, . . . )
But I don’t think he’ll have any problem getting dates or sex. He’s rich, famous, still young and goodlooking, and even if the bragging rights are diluted a bit by the numbers of other women he’s been involved with even briefly, he’s still Tiger Woods and there are plenty of women out there who don’t appear to have all that much self-respect. Especially when alcohol is involved.
Sorry to hijack, but can someone explain the origin of this theory (that she beat him with a golf club)? I was under the impression that it was just something douchey radio hosts joked about (ha ha beating your spouse), but now it turns out it’s something the ex actually has to vehemently deny? Is it just internet rumors or did Tiger accuse her of it, witnesses, anything?
