relationship help: What’s worse? - Help.com

Tiger’s women were all pillorised in the UK press especially the tabloids and Tiger had some macho jokes made about him. He wasn’t really hated on by the men, some of them admired him.

i think usually the weight of the matter is placed on the married party. or say the CEO who was embezzling from his company. or maybe we just hate them because they’re rich.

I see no problem with sleeping with your boss just to get a pay raise. Unfortunately it would never have worked for me; he was as straight as I am.
Also who gives a dam if a married boss has an afar, God sees and knows everything.

I think there is more a focus on the person in the dominant or most successful position within the relationship. If it were known that a man was promoted through the ranks by sleeping with a female boss, then the press and media would focus on the woman instead. I can’t see any real relation to gender here.

I stumbled across a US programme on UK television the other evening. It was the most dreadful thing I have ever seen. Called “cheaters”. Basically, a TV team play undercover detective and “out” people who are having affairs… much of it was clearly faked, but the violence, the agression, the hatred and the manner in which this programme dealt with people’s relationship problems was positively disgusting. It basically portrayed public humiliation and violence as “entertainment”. In fact, in the episode that I watched, the cheater’s “bit on the side” had no idea whatsoever that he was married. Yet still she had to endure the flack.

I think it’s time that the media were hauled over the coals for invading people’s private lives. Whether we think they deserve the trouble or not, it cannot be right to parade people publicly with no regard for the innocents that get caught up in it all.

I had hoped that the hacking scandals would have helped redress things. Obviously not.

Why do we still buy into the media hype and think it’s ok?

Well, most of the heat would be directed towards the one who initiated the act, but then, if the other participant refused to accommodate the whim of the latter, then there would be no affair now right?

But in cases like these, even though the woman was the one who took the first step and/or is the boss, she’d still be the one less targeted by the society.

Former, I mean. I’m sorry.

i just think it’s a matter of who is in the position of power, wealth, or fame. the media loves to tear those guys apart. maybe we want to believe it is justified for them being more successful than the common man. maybe we just believe that a corrupt politician, CEO, or celebrity is more dangerous than the people who sleep with them. which i may no disagree with.

I think the issue is “the use of company resources”. Moral issues not directly related to the work are typically a non-issue in big companies.

The young woman (or man in other cases) who “sleeps her way to the top” is nothing but a prostitute, but the married man is the worse cheater. All men will use whatever advantage they have to try to get the attention of a woman. The married man is cheating the woman he is trying to lure, his wife, and other men by taking more women than his reasonable share. And the one who uses company resources cheats the company too.

I think the core problem here is the corrupt male executives. Women would not be, “sleeping their way to the top.” Had it not been for these men allowing it to happen to begin with. Going right along with them using their power to get sex etc just because they can. I think their should be independent auditors that randomely check these guys out to ensure the business ethics are being being observed..

The story really is about the abuse of the company money and not really the cheating…he would still have been in crap if he was entertaining his wife on the company money I would say. As for cheating…I will get eaten up and spit out on this post if I say too much. I have known a few in my lifetime and I have to say in the cases I have seen I understand why they do it. All behavior can be explained :)

the media reports what will push their political agenda in most cases. it alarms me that tiger woods cheating on his wife is news just as when president clinton was playing with cigars is news. has society sunk so much that they watch the news just to see who screwed up. ones personal life has no bearing upon how well they can do a job. clinton would not have been elected if people knew of his indiscretions (if there were any before he was elected) but he ended up doing crazy things like balancing our budget, getting us out of debt, creating millions of jobs to which the economy soared, etc. as for the original post, i am somewhat neutral. people rise through the ranks for different reasons. some on merit, some on family name, some because of someone they know and some because they have a cute ***. if the woman agrees then she is not a victim. she knowing and willfully made her own choice. i do not think it is right to promote on anything but merit. besides, i respect myself, my family, the sanctity of marriage, and women enough to not even consider something so sick.
