Please, Don't Do It!!!

I just heard that LeBron James got engaged to his long time girlfriend and mother of his children.  Now while most would people, especially women, will applaud this decision and say “it’s about time”, I say NOOOOO!!!DON’T DO IT!!!  LOL

            I mean for what?  Why would any rich, famous, powerful man get married?  I mean come on dude; you know that you’re going to cheat.  You have beautiful women throwing themselves at you every day.  What type of man can resist that type of temptation?  Now for women, this may be no big deal because they are used to being hounded by men.  But for men, this is not a regular occurrence.  We are the hunters; we pursue the women and make all the effort to get them for the most part.  But for a rich man, a man with fame and/or power, he lives in different world.  He is now the equivalent of a beautiful woman.  

First of all, he rarely hears the word “no”.  Women he has only dreamed about are now not only within his reach, but they are after him.   And while I don’t condone cheating on any level for any reason, I do understand how and why it happens.  And the likelihood of men in his position cheating is about 95%.  Why would you risk millions of dollars on your ability to stay faithful when there is a significant chance that you will cheat?

            Secondly, it is a horrible business decision.  Whether you like it or not, when you sign that marriage certificate, you have signed a legal binding agreement.  Why would you enter into a partnership where you are the only one bringing something to the table, that has a 50% rate of failure, that won’t make you any money, and will cost only YOU money if things don’t work out?  Now that’s just plain stupid!

           

            Third, how do your really know this woman loves you?  Now, I’m strictly addressing a situation where these men have met these women after they are already rich.  Think about it for a second.  I believe that love is proven when someone does for you when they have nothing to gain.  When you are rich, when are you ever in this position?

1. You have given her everything.  She is rich and has upped her status tremendously.  She has a beautiful home(s), VIP everything, the finest in clothes cars, dream vacations, etc.
2. No matter what ya’ll go through, at the end of your worst day, SHE IS STILL RICH.  Her motivation to be there for you is the money.  And while you can’t prove that money is her motivation, HOW DO YOU KNOW IT ISN’T?
3. If things don’t work out, you have to give up a lot of what you worked hard to obtain but receive NOTHING IN RETURN.  She, on the other hand, gives up nothing (except for some of the things YOU provided for her) and gets money and assets that she did absolutely nothing to earn and even maintains her status most times.  Even with a pre-nup, she comes out on top.

Now don’t take this post as me being anti-marriage.  I believe in marriage and I’m looking forward to one day being married myself.  I just don’t think it makes any sense for a RICH, POWERFUL, AND/OR FAMOUS MAN TO GET MARRIED—OR WOMAN EITHER FOR THAT MATTER.
