LOL sorry he cheated on his wife with someone who looked very similar to her LOL! |
+1. The media describes Broadwell like a groupie. Totally infatuated with him. That was probably what made her most attractive to him- more so than her physical looks. |
Adorable! I hope she finds peace and decides for herself what is best for her family and doesn't feel influenced by public opinion. Hillary stayed with Bill while the Edwards' split up. Go figure. God bless her for serving our country with grace behind the scenes on less of an income than most of you pay in taxes per year. I salute you, Mrs. Petraeus. |
"Sweet and lush" means fat? |
PP Male poster from a while back.
Some of you have not one iota of a clue what leads someone to cheat. Stop watching lifetime movies and getting caught up in the media hype. Again, its perfectly legit to stay fit, stylish, sexy, etc for your spouse but this by no means promises that you will not get cheated on. Its very easy at first glance to highlight the difference in looks between Holly and Paula (and I even joke about it with friends) but the reality isnt as simple as explaining this as Holly letting herself go. Do you honestly think that Paula is the only good looking woman he's run across since he was married? Hell the other woman (who apparently is just a groupie) looks better than Holly and Petraeus didnt fuck her. I am sure that Petraues noticed her good looks and that only added to any intimate knowledge they gained with each other as they got to know each other more. Other than that, to put it off simply on looks is naive, dumb, and just plain lazy on the part of people using that as an excuse |
And to the fat poster, save your "men hit on me" story for another thread. you just want to inject your weight insecurity by "bragging" how you still get hit on after gaining weight.
good for you, but nobody cares. theres someone for everybody so you just want to make yourself feel better making statements on your fat assness and its ability to still attract men. round of applause for you. whatever |
Man here. You women who think that he cheated because his wife got fat are totally delusional. But if that's what you want to believe, then keep staying fit for your man and just assume that he won't cheat on you. That way, he can have you paranoid and fit, and find another woman to also have sex with. It's the best of both worlds for him. |
I posted earlier that Holly (really, Hollister!), was ugly and fat. And, she is.
She was also ugly in that early picture, but so was he. Did they each think they would get better looking with age. Yuck. This is not about ugly and fat - it's about opportunity and ego. This entire thread is sad. Makes me worry about my fitness as a 54 year old marathon runner. I sure don't look like I did 20 years ago, but I'm pretty good for 54. Is it not OK to age now? |
You people are crazy with all your fat hating. I'll take a sexually enthusiastic chubby girl over a model-thin prude every day of the week. |
Ewwww. |
I believe this is the kind of attitude that contributes to the high divorce rate. People are not perfect and not everyone sees life as a constant, competitive quest for self-improvement. I do not owe it to my husband to be my "best self," which, btw, I would define very differently from you. (I think "best self" is an asinine and judgmental concept to begin with, but at least let me decide how to be my own best self instead of proclaiming that being as conventionally attractive as possible must be "best" for everyone.) What I owe to him is what I promised him when we married -- to love him, respect him, and treat him kindly. The problem here is the narrow-minded inability to see beyond your own beliefs, or perhaps a self-righteous refusal to accept that not everyone needs to live by your beliefs, that others can legitimately have different priorities and goals and that doesn't make them wrong. To those of you who criticize women for "not caring about themselves" because they're overweight, don't wear makeup, have bad haircuts or clothes or whatever, SO WHAT? Why the mandate that we must care about being conventionally attractive? Why must we spend our money and time on grooming/exercising/dieting/waxing/plastic surgery in order to be taken seriously? Why does not caring about my appearance mean I've given up on myself? Maybe I care deeply about myself, just not about the impression I make on shallow, judgmental people. If we want women to be valued as people with brains rather than sex objects or eye candy, not caring about appearance is exactly what we need to do. |

right or wrong, it matters how you look. you don't have to be pretty or thin, but if you want to be taken seriously, you do need to look like you care about yourself. You can have all the self esteem in the world, but if you look like a frump, you will be treated like a frump...... Sorry. |
doesn't excuse his behavior, but when you are married to someone who looks as crunchy as she does..............wow. |
I understand that and I'm cool with it. I know I can't force anyone to take a critical look at their cultural assumptions. |
+ eww |
