Could you date someone with Tiger Woods' past?
Thirty-three percent of Shine readers were right: it only took about six months before Tiger Woods was reportedly back in a relationship.
Though neither has confirmed their status to press (or Facebook), Woods has been linked to Alyse Lahti Johnston, a 22 year-old Florida college student, with a rap sheet and a burgeoning career in golf. Tiger-watchers say they met several years ago, when her stepfather was vice chairman of IMG, the sports management company that made Woods a multi-millionaire. Back then he was a married man. Now he's known as the world's biggest cheat.
Imagine: you meet a guy who shares your passion (actually he's a champion at it), he knows your family, he's generous, handsome, single and...BOOM. He's an admitted sex addict. How do you enter into a new relationship knowing his history of chronic cheating?
When Woods entered rehab for his sex addiction last year, critics called it a PR move. But he went in and fulfilled his treatment. According to sex addiction specialists, the condition can have an 80 percent successful treatment with medication and therapy.
But how do you know a changed man when you've only just starting dating? Dating usually comes with the unspoken don't ask don't tell clause, until you have the "What are we" conversation. And everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, to suss out their old baggage and start fresh...post-sex rehab.
But say the guy you're dating a guy who's just a Google search away from stories of unprotectedhooker orgies and Ambien zombie-sex- just how much can you overlook?
