At the pad of a LOT of rich women (not men)
Luke 8:1-3 NIV) After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and MANY OTHERS*. THESE WOMEN WERE HELPING TO SUPPORT THEM OUT OF THEIR OWN MEANS. (no miracles here! or were they?)
Mark 16:40-41 (NIV) Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him AND CARED FOR HIS NEEDS. MANY OTHER WOMEN* who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
*MANY OTHER WOMEN... so Jesus was quite a popular good wine drinking playboy!

Jesus was accused of being a wine drinker and friend of prostitutes and sinners. He loved to have his feet extensively kissed by a prostitute at a party where the prostitutes were also invited.
Luke 7:45 (NIV) You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet.
Let's face it! Jesus was just another human being like any of us, except that he knew how to be particularly nice to the ladies playing the role of God going around forgiving sins! Hey, who doesn't feel guilty about anything?
