Jesse James cheated on Sandra Bullock. Tony Parker cheated on Eva Longoria. Sienna Miller and Reese Witherspoon both got cheated on with the nanny. And if Halle Berry can get cheated on, all women are screwed.
Let's face it: No woman is safe from infidelity.
By saying things like, "What do they expect, dating that kind of guy” (athlete, rock star, actor, bad boy, NASCAR driver).
We treat it as though that is standard procedure. Like it's normal and acceptable behavior for athletes to have second phones to call their girlfriends on the road, and for actors to hire hookers or instill “goddesses” to have nightly orgys while their kids sleep at their ex-wives' houses.
Or, "That's what you sign up for being with that kind of guy."
... No, actually that's not what a woman signs up for. Not a real one at least. She signs up for a relationship. Just because a guy is an athlete or actor doesn’t put him above any woman or above the appropriate standards of relationships. Successful women don’t get that luxury. They’re often the victim of this jaded societal double standard. And to add insult to emotional injury, nice, normal guys are then reluctant to date them.
Men, you have to choose: Use the kind of girls who use you for money or have a deep, meaningful relationship with someone who cares about you.
You can't have your cake home baked, eat it, and then go out to eat out, too.
Truth be told, a lot of these playboy player types are the most internally lonely, unhappy human beings. Because these guys are human, too. Just because their dicks are dipped in gold doesn't mean they don't have a heart. And they need love as much as anyone else. And sometimes deciphering between those who love them for who they are or what they do becomes hard, and they front like a player as their defense.
It makes sense, but it still doesn’t make it right.
If they’re honest about being an asshole, they’re a little less of a douchebag, at least. And these guys will always get hall passes in relationships … as long as women continue to give them. But why settle for being just “the #1” when you should be the ONLY ONE? This isn’t an episode of The Bachelor.
