"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves."
Gee, Tiger, exactly what do you regret? Having a three-year affair with a Las Vegas cocktail waitress or sending her the numerous texts and voicemail messages she's using against you in the tabloids?
All these cheating men - David Letterman, Mark Sanford, Eliot Spitzer, just to name a few - express deep regret. Once they're caught.
I'm tired of hearing about actors, politicians, athletes and their sleazy affairs. But I have to wonder - what makes these famous guys do it? Because of their visibility, the stakes are especially high when their infidelities are exposed. Not only do they risk their marriages; they risk scandal, public humiliation and professional ruin.
According to Psychology Today's Love Doctor, Terri Orbuch, powerful men are likely to cheat for a number of reasons:
1. They think they're invincible.
2. They have more opportunities for temptation (through travel and accessible women.)
3. They're adrenaline junkies and like excitement and challenge.
4. They are surrounded by enabling yes men.
5. They want variety/change.
Oh, I get it. They're big, confident studs who need to express their masterful type-A selves to a wide variety of women. The very qualities that make them successful make them more likely to stray.
Supermodels beware! That famous ball player or rock star may be wealthy and hot, but he's likely to break your beautiful heart. Maybe you should consider a hard-working accountant instead.

Oh...if it were ONLY the wealthy, powerful, self absorbed men...
Seems like any male (or female for that matter) sole can be in situations where they don't feel their needs are being met and choose the "instant gratification" route. It is said that men often think with their "little" head...what is the female's excuse????
A to the MEN girl!!!
Steffie expressed my sentiments EXACTLY!
