I hate hypocrisy as well; no objection from me on that point. But how is LeBron being hypocritical? Yeah, on occasion he tries to market himself as being a good father but being a "good father" and "good husband" are two mutually exclusive things. And I have yet to hear him popping off at the mouth about being a devout Christian or even a religious man for that matter. I have to admit that I don't follow him beyond the court though.

Whatever the case, I didn't mean any ill will with the "Ford Taurus" comment. I was just trying to point out the obvious: you are an average Joe (like me) and will never be tempted like LeBron is. It's comparatively easy to stay faithful when the competition are 5s, 6s and 7s. But when you have Kate Upton caliber ass for groupies, I'd imagine that the game would change for most men. Again, I'm not saying it is right but the reality is that sex means little beyond the act itself from a male perspective. That is a point I'd remind a daughter of if she ever found herself in Savannah's position(if the rumors are true). But I'm 26 years old and those sentiments might change if I ever father a daughter (or any child for that matter). But I refuse to accept the idea that indulging natural urges can be reflective of an absence of character.

Ah yes... the death of romantic love.

Hard to say how I would react as a person if I had women throwing themselves at me for one night stands.

Had some temptation while married (now divorced)- was technically faithful, but as Jimmy Carter once said, I lusted in my heart, and might have crossed the line if the woman had really pushed me.

I can understand how you are separating love from copulation. I am actually in favor of legalizing prostitution- I sure as hell don't look at it as sinful or anything like that. An unattached guy having mutually agreed upon physical relations with a woman (or a guy, to be PC)might be foolish health wise in many ways, but I don't have moral issues with it.

For the most part I have be OK with Lebron, but

If he is playing around I would like to hear his justification for it.

If he is plotting with Wade again, I would like to hear his justification for that, too.

If he is plotting to get his coach fired, I would like to hear him justify his actions.

PS- I have a Forester, which has been associated with lesbians for a number of year (stated in the Pacific West, I think)- maybe this is why I don't those seconds glances from the ladies these days.

There is little to no incentive for a man to get married now that gender roles have changed. The only thing that makes me still consider it for the future (as a 26 year old male) is my interest in having kids. Most data points to two parent households being a more healthy environment to raise them in, so I'd have to bite the bullet and make that commitment until they become independent adults. This is of course assuming she doesn't leave beforehand and winds up taking the house, the kids and half my **** because I had the audacity to apply myself and be "successful". I suppose that this is the reason why I'm inclined to cut married guys some slack because of how disproportionate the burden of it is.

In any case, I don't know if I should offer my condolences or congratulations for your divorce. You might not know it yet but I get the feeling that you're for the better for having moved on.

And for the record, I drive an '05 Honda Accord which hasn't exactly lead to me dating any supermodels either. Evidently they are not fans of fuel efficient and reliable vehicles, LMAO.
