When the Tiger Woods controversy broke out, many friends approached me, the old man with a wife, two children and a girlfriend, for my comments.

Here they are, some of them, randomly...

People who think a man with a beautiful wife should not have an affair are fools. Beautiful women are not everything in this world. Often, they are dumb! They think too much about themselves. They spend hours in front of the mirror. And many more hours at the nearest beauty parlour.

Men who marry beautiful women are often the most insecure. They spend most of their lives worrying about how many other men must be admiring their wives.

And women love this.

Most beautiful women do not marry handsome men. And handsome men rarely marry beautiful women. The partner must always be one step lower.

Many women will not mind marrying a man if he is stinking rich, no matter how he looks.

Men go for looks and sex appeal in women, never brains! Most men want sex for as long as they have the stamina for it. Women get bored of it after some time.

Of course, there some men who doze off after doing it, while the woman is waiting for more.

Often, too, women feel used after a session of sex. And that leads to anger.

Women want men who can take care of them or protect them. They want men who can pamper them with costly gifts and with a lot of love: Physical or verbal. Women love being told every millisecond by husbands that they love them.

Never overdo romance. You talk the whole day to your wife and very soon you will run out of topics to talk about and instead start fighting over some minor issue.

Talking of mistresses, the only way to keep them happy is to spend tons of money on them. They will never squeal on you.

Sometimes, it is better to keep the wife informed that you are 'dating' another woman, or that you have a soft corner for her. It does not give them a sudden shock one not-so-fine day. The maximum that will happen is that you will be thrown out of the house. At least you will not be humiliated with your photographs appearing on the frontpages of newspapers all over the world, along with bigger photographs of your mistress(es).

A one-point formula for a marriage to be successful is for the husband to listen to his wife. Always. But not vice versa.

And, finally, nothing can save you from a woman who is scorned. She can even take a golf stick and knock you out cold, even if you are the No 1 golfer in the world!
