Christie Brinkley's fourth divorce... guys' point of view?

Question

I guess beauty and wealth do not bring you happiness.... I feel bad for her, she doesn't deserve this treatment. Are men not happy with perfection? Dating a teenager is better how, besides more enthusiastic sex???

Obviously beauty and weallth do not make up for other things lacking, which was the point I tried to make.... and yes, there is more than sex when dating a teenager, but the most important issue for me would be FIDELITY

Answer 1

We never know the whole story of any of these relationships so we really can't make that judgment.

Answer 2

I'm not a guy - but....Well, it's not true about age and enthusiastic sex. My hubby is older and this is definitely not an issue. The true issue here is pride. Christie herself obviously has issues with pride. I mean, who could possibly live with any woman long term who believes herself to be perfect because of her fame and fortune. The poor guys will never be good enough. Do you remember that song, "Uptown Girl" - well that's exactly what I'm taking about. No one is perfect, but if you think you're better than everyone else - no one will like you or be able to tolerate you in the long term. In the beginning the guy feels so special because a woman so great loves him, but in the end he gets burned because he never feels good enough for her in the long term. There's nothing that hurts a man's ego more than not feeling good enough. Men need a woman to build their ego up - not tear it down. Ego is a huge thing to men. If a woman feeds it - she'll keep him for life. If she destroys it - sex, intimacy, conversation - everything is damaged and the relationship ends up destroyed. It doesn't matter about a woman's looks - it's her heart that makes or breaks a relationship. So, I'm hoping Christie has changed for the better for this new guy's sake. Great sex only takes you so far. In the long term - it's only 5% of what makes a marriage work and everything else negative in the relationship can ruin it. Many sexual issues in relationships are due to problems in communication and pride - not that a person is "bad in bed" persay. True love, mutual respect, humility and submission to one another make it work. These are not words I've heard commonly describing Christie and her relationships unfortunately. I always get the impression that her men started out worshipping the ground she walked on and as long as they were in their place (much lower than her) everything is fine. But, a guy's ego can't handle that for a long term relationship. Then, again I don't personally know her, but this is what it appears. I know so many marriages where everything was great except that the woman was just not having any sense of respect for her husband's wishes or desires, she gets mad and says I won't have sex with you. I mean - that's like driving a man to infidelity. It is very hard for most men to stay in a sterile marriage and be faithful - I'd say 90% couldn't do that long term. You can't just blame the guy.

Answer 3

Shes far from perfect and too high maintenance. I don't know if a teenager is better for dating...I don't mean to generalize but teens are still learning about themselves and the world around them. So change in inevitable for them...the person they are at 13 is not the same as 15 nor 19. And the last time I has sex with a Teen I was a Teen myself but what I remember of it...it was more than just enthusiastic :-)

Answer 4

There is always 2 sides to a story. I don't feel bad for anyone who has been married 4 times and is getting a forth divorce. Seems like to me the problem may lie with her. Four guys can't all be wrong...think about it. About teenagers, the sex may be more enthusiastic, but you would have to deal with their immaturity....so it's a trade off. What would you prefer?

Answer 5

Perhaps she's not happy with these men ? Or she share's a view once made popular by Bono, " I still haven't found what I'm looking for." also Perfection does not exists when it comes to people and young, often times in sex means lack of skill to be good you need more than enthusiasm, also degree of enthusiasm is not age specific don't persecute all men based on the actions of a few.

Answer 6

1) There's no such thing as perfection.
2) Relationships are a two-way street.
3) There are many other qualities than beauty and wealth that can be relevant - or even crucial - to a relationship, such as intelligence, wit, sense of humor, honesty, loyalty, etc.

I'm not saying that Christie doesn't have any of these things, but it takes two to make a relationship work. This kind of thing happens every day, and you only read about it because she's a celebrity.

Answer 7

Once the hot monkey sex is gone, you have to be able to deal with the daily mundane activities of living together. Plus, after four failed marriages you have to start looking at yourself and the choices you're making.

Maybe, she's bi-polar.

Answer 8

I don't feel bad for her at all. She is getting exactly what she deserves. Just look what she did to Billy Joel. Payback is a bit**. What goes around comes around. Perfection? I think not.

Answer 9

Hmm, I'm not a guy, but what makes you think that only teenagers have 'enthusiastic' sex? WRONG!

Answer 10

" whoa whoa whoa Uptown girl-
She's been livin in an uptown world" LOL etc.
Way Too much ego.
She should put her children first instead of her looks and social status. I dont think we know the full story here either. OH Well.......Yawn.

Answer 11

Look at his bio on his website. The guy seems pretty full of himself.
