Men are designed to chase skirts...
6 December 2009, 08:27
It's not nice to see a great man like Tiger caught with his trousers down. It's even worse to see how low girls will go to snatch a sexy slice of one of the world's sporting greats, offering the kiss 'n' tell details to anyone willing to dip into the sleaze bucket.
And poor, beautiful, cuckolded Elin? She did her thing with a golf club - and who could blame her?
The smutty details have been handed to us on a plate. The news boomeranged so fast - after hitting the fire hydrant, that is - that we didn't have time to delve in the usual places for the edgy bits of gossip.
Who would have thought the elegant, suave, never-a-hair-out-of-place Tiger would have been one to swan off the 18th green with his head held high, diving for his cellphone to ask one of his girlfriends to do provocative things in the bathroom and then send the evidence via SMS? Who would have thought that our squeakier-than-clean hero, the darling of Nike and every upstanding sportsman, would have spent his spare time under cover with the likes of the curvaceous, ultra-seductive cocktail waitress Rachel, plus Jaimee, Kalika, et al.
Don't tell me that every bloke on the planet would not have liked to have had Tiger's luck? Okay, they're sorry for Elin - I mean she looks so angelically hurt - but I don't hear much tutt-tutting, just plenty of hole-in-one type jokes. In the closet cupboards of most men's minds, Tiger's one hell of a chap, to hell with the golf.
So, I ask the question: Why are we all so coy about the thought of men having other women in their lives? That's the way they're designed.
Wouldn't it be better to accept that the male of the species should be allowed to have several wives? Jacob Zuma has done it very well and as far as I can gather, the ladies in his bedroom - be it, I would imagine, one at a time - all seem quite content with the arrangement. He may take on more, but when it comes to sleaze, gossip, tabloid frenzy, there is none - simply because the extra-mural factor is already built in.
Clinton should have been allowed to marry Monica and enjoy his polygamy. Pavarotti could have done the same, so could have Berlusconi, Shane Warne, Nick Faldo, Boris Becker, our own Joost, Beckham (well sort of) - and all the other testosterone-rich males that have fallen by the wayside.
It wouldn't have been good for newspapers - I give you that, but hey, it would have saved a lot of trees.
