Watching the Anthony Weiner scandal unfold, it was hard not to wonder how a smart, accomplished, beautiful woman like Huma Abedin got herself involved with a guy like Weiner.
After all, the New York Congressman was dishonest to Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a messy, public way — confessing to sexting and sending lewd photos to a young coed after lying about it for 10 days — after less than a year of marriage. It’s probably not what a newlywed would expect, especially one who’s pregnant with their first child.
But, sexting sexcapades aside, the 46-year-old Weiner, whether you find him attractive or not, is a fit, intelligent, promising politician with a six-figure income who had a reputation of a ladies’ man and was even named a Cosmo eligible bachelor — the kind of man that many, many women are drawn to.
And that’s where Abedin and other smart, beautiful, accomplished women often make their mistake. The more financially independent women become, the more they prefer good-looking men. But they don’t just want their partners to be hotties; they want them to be masculine, physically fit, loving, educated, a few years older and making the big bucks. Oh, and they also have to really want to be a hubby and daddy.
That’s a tall order.
And, evidently, it’s working against us. Attractive men don’t make the best husbands, according to researchers. Guys who are rated as the most masculine — a billboard for a man’s good genes — tend to have more testosterone, and men with higher testosterone levels are 43 percent more likely to get divorced than men with normal levels, 31 percent more likely to split because of marital problems and 38 percent more likely to cheat. In other words, they may be better cads than dads.
some of the girls just really be at the man to
America! America! So scandalous and for those in high places as politicians.
These women are seeking publicity. Men must learn a lesson from this. Be careful whom you associate with; no exception women. Choose your friends wisely.
God created the good looking and not so good looking for whatever reason. He has the answer. I am certain that it evens out.
There are some men who marry women who are not good looking and vice versa that some people wonder “What did he see in her and vice versa”.
I, personally, would not make such a statement. People are attracted for whatever reason. Everyone possesses some good traits that others love in them. We should never demean others be it indirectly or behind their backs.
It is said that beauty attracts beauty.
Weiner is in power and so he wanted a woman in power. She is secretary/aide to Hilary Clinton. She is in good company when one thinks of what the former President Clinton did. I did feel sorry for him then to see what he went through. This was caused by a deceitful co-worker of Monica Lewinsky whom she confided in. By the way a few years ago I heard this co-worker died. Prior to her death many people rejected her because of her deceit. She must have experienced a lot of stress for being deceitful. I thought nothing of this co-worker for what she did to Monica and President Clinton. It is a lesson to be learned. Try not to confide in people and to trust them. It is said, age brings reason. Hopefully it does.
Hilary Clinton will give Weiner’s wife all the advice and support since she too was embarrassed and humiliated by her husband’s attitude. Hilary wrote a book. I did not purchase the book. She had entertained thoughts of divorce but decided against it. She said that she was extremely angry with her husband. She has overcome it. Women who have experienced similar situations should learn a lesson from her.
When I heard the story and the response of Anthony Weiner I thought that it was a re-directed email which did not come from him but from someone else. In other words, it was a mistake which was not sent by him but a prank of someone which is nothing unusual in this era with the Internet and some wicked people.
Later he admitted what he did. One of the women who received his emails went public.
I thought, “Run Sampson run. Delilah’s on her way.”
Weiner had no alternative but to admit to the truth of what he did.
Weiner thinks he is hot stuff and can turn all women on. This man is full of pride and full of himself which is why he did what he did.
I thought how stupid could he be, a man of his caliber who is in such a high position. He should have learnt from other politicians as Edwards whose wife Elizabeth passed on in December. She looked like a nice lady. Americans empathized with her.
Edwards was a contender for U.S. President as President Obama. He had a girlfriend and a baby with his girlfriend. So-to-speak, someone spilled the beans on him. He was exposed and he had to drop out from the presidential race. There is more to this story.
Prior to his wife’s death, she wrote a book. I saw her on Larry King Live.
Weiner certainly jeopardized his position. Much more, he embarrassed himself, his wife, family and colleagues.
Nancy Pelosi and some others are calling for his resignation.
He took leave of absence and will undergo rehabilitation, as he stated. As if he needs it.
This man needs “JESUS”. When people sway away from God this is what eventually happens to them. Satan takes over. He is a proud man, believing that he can conquer all women or that all women are in love with him. Well, pride comes before the fall.
Setting this aside, his wife is travelling with her boss Hilary Clinton. He is obviously lonely. He needs companionship.
This Muslim wife should be with her husband. Wives are to be with their husbands and vice versa, especially a newly-married wife and one who is pregnant. They should not be away from each other and also not for long.
All the same, I do feel sorry for him that he found himself in such a position and may lose his position.
I saw him rant and rave in the House when he opposed what was stated. He has a terrible temper and appear not to be able to control it. While he is in rehabilition, he should also be treated for anger management.
May God assist him.
Peeping Eye said: “Let us check the man from the heart, not from that dust to dust think he is carrying” I advise all of us women to embrace that statement.
However, I need to remind us women, who are searching for that man from heart, that we also, must make sure we are the woman from the heart, otherwise our search and find is going to result just the same way, concerning the issue of this news article.
Unfortunately, that is why this world is consists of such a small number of married couples–man and woman–who will remain sincerely and faithfully bonded until “death do us part”.
What motivates that sincere and faithful bonding in a man/woman relationship? I am sure that the motivator is Love–the state of Life, the nature of the Spirit, which is the anointing of God in us.
I repeat, the motivation is “Love!” Not human affection, sensuality, sensation–in other words, not any of the demonstration of the emotions, passions, or lust, that is of fleshly gratification.
That is the reason so few human beings know that kind of bonding in their relationship of marriage.
Good looks, a sexy voice, fame, popularity, material things and wealth, give us goose bumps–the reaction of fleshly emotions–which have us declaring “I am in Love with him/her” and we simply say “yes” to the marriage proposal without thinking of the consequences. Big mistake! Because Love had nothing to do with it.
Yes, marriage is an aspect of worldly existence–for all sorts of reasons–good looks, fame, popularity, power, wealth, and primarily sexual conducts, which only gratifies the flesh–it does nothing for our Spirit–where Life dwells in us; otherwise we are dead as a sleeping bat.
According to Mots: Ladies’man that man may be. Yes! I know that kind in my own Life. thanks to God He gave me the wisdom, never to get married.
Today I am in the the cleansing process of my flesh through the renewing of my mind. I now know the Spiritual freedom that causes me declare Jesus, as my husband to be–the only Man who “touched” me and He made me “whole”.
Yeah “the temptation is higher to cheat, because women are attracted to us” says Mots. Just pay attention to the word–TEMPTATION–the sword that Satan hands over to us, which we use to stab our loved ones and then, ourselves.
For with a carnal mind feeding our state of mortality–death in us- we cannot resist “temptation”. We cannot resist because we do not want to acknowledge that truth–that we are carnal–to allow God to start His work of cleansing and renewal in us, because of our humility.
I guarantee, this Weiner man has defiled his reputation of being the “ladies’ man” into the reputation of being a “nobody’s nothing”–to me personally, he is not even attractive in the first place–in other words he is not my type. He better pray that his wife keeps him.
For that reason, according to the apostle Paul’s teaching, the functions of marriage is also passing away with the rest of the functions of this world. 1st Corinthians 7: 29-31
Jesus confirms what the apostle Paul teaches us, when He told the Sudducees–a set of Jewish leaders–of His days, who did not believe in the resurrection; Jesus told those guys who foolishly tried to corner Him about the resurrection:
“In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven”. Matthew 22:30
Jesus talked about the aspect of marriage as simply being the situation of worldly existence, telling his disciples it was part of the lifestyle of the people before the flood, by which God destroyed every human being that existed at the time, except for 8 people.
So Jesus told His disciples, who wanted to know when would He return, to execute the functions of the end of times–the extinction of the nature, humanity, along with the systems of their worldly existence.
Jesus did not give His disciples an exact time, of His return to fulfill His mission in this world, but He gave them signs to look for, such as He said here:
“As the days of Noah were, so also will the comming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not know, until the flood came and took them all away. So too, will the comming of the Son of Man be”. Matthew 24: 36-39
Because of our carnal minds, which cannot comprehend the ways of Life–the attitude and conducts of Love, our state of Light which comes by our faith in God’s Person of Love–Jesus Christ, we have confused a vital process of building a family that God will accept and reward us with the Eternal existence of a conscience, mind, and heart–the complete form of the soul–filled with Joy and Peace in His presence.
This vital process is marriage. Yeah, someone said man and woman bonding should not be based on the aspect of “pretty and ugly”
The attitude and conducts of commitment and sacrifice–the desire for the best of a relationship, should be the bond that brings man and woman together and to hold them faithfully and sincerely forever. The essence of this bond is Love, the spiritual anointing of God Almighty by our faith alone–good works come after we are established by faith.
The home is the product of good works, motivated by faith–as husband, wife, and children– are bonded by Love, representing the family of God.
For they exist and function by the guidance, teaching, and authority of His Holy Spirit. Hence, God is preparing that family to live in His presence in the place of Eternity, better known as paradise.
That is where married life ends. For every family of husband, wife, and children, whom God has cleansed or sanctified, trained and disciplined to know Him and His Ways of Love–Life, spiritual Light, in that family–will then become simply brothers and sisters one and all–children of God in Spirit and in Truth, in the resurrection.
The man/woman relationship has to be based from the heart–not the dust to dust thing–for the purpose of building a family, learning or practicing the ways of Life–the ways of Love–which is of God Almighty; who will gather His family, that they might dwell in His presence with the estasy of Joy and Peace forever more.
The big problem is that Jesus said: “Many are called but few are chosen”. Matthew 22: 14
It is the same thing about marriage, under the process and product of the carnal mind of human beings, which created that big problem.
God gave marriage to human beings of this world, with His intention to guide them into maintaining that marriage functions, until He is ready to call them to Himself.
But human beings continue to abide with the lies of Satan, who tells them it is okay–even better– to do it in that other way.
That other way is not God’s Way. And so, even if God has allowed marriage for all human beings, only a few will have the qualifications that God demands of a marriage.
Many go into the functions and productions of marriage, but the majority of those marriage functions and productions will pass away. Few will be chosen!
All types of men cheat, no need to research dat!!! …but it’s also true that if a man knows women are easily drawn to him because of how he looks, then he’s more convinced to cheat and he might just will …vice versa
That’s your problem in the west, but we in Islamic societies do not tolerate fornication and adultery, it is a state offence.
Our families are stronger and healthier and our marriages last longer in the east.
“Marriages built on spirituality last longer” said Dr Andrew Stanway a marital therapist. It is very sad that many lack patience and do not compromise thus marriage collapses.
It will get worse because our people are foolish. They think it’s all about freedom to do what you want. They think it’s all about themselves, thus they will be moving from relationship to relationship like a used ball, by the time they are ready to “settle” down they will lack substance.
WELL ITS NOT ADULTERY FOR YOU CAUSE YOU CAN HAVE AS MANY WIVES AS YOU WANT…..HOWEVER THE WOMAN CAN ONLY HAVE YOU…..PURE NONSENSE…WHY DONT YOU KEEP YOUR BELIEFS IN THE EAST AND LEAVE THE WESTERN CULTURE TO US.
well sa!! my friend we are christians not islamic or wateva its called….dont b comparing other religion based on marriage….you all women live in fear whereas you all men do commit adultery. Just look at w=the position of the place where you all faith came from….SMH!
Nonesense. And of course you guys want four wives. Like y’all never get divorce. Man is man . No matter the religion he is going to cheat. Its been like that from tbe beginning it’s gonna be like that to the end. You and your holier than thou moslem garbage. Your barbaric treatment of women give your men an unfair advantage to belittle and abuse women. There are faithful men,in the all over no matter their relligion. Vivre la France.

In simple terms, people must be godly and Christo-centered. Our Lord Jesus Christ said: “Apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Sadly, too many have either forgotten that or do not know it. Eventually they fall by the wayside.
I have not heard about the previous life of Anthony Weiner. Who knows? He may have been nurtured in the faith when young and as many, through the years he has neglected his faith; most of all God.
This is what is occurring to many U.S. politicians.
I have viewed the U.S. and many of its nationals as being hypocritical.
Once the U.S. Media of all catches hold of such news, they will scandalize it further.
I do hope that this man gets help.
I do hope that he is given another chance.
Give this a thought. There are politicians that are gay, men married to men; likewise women married to women and they are accepted. Consider the abomination, the scandal as they continue to promote their ungodly agenda. It also upsets me. I would not want those people to represent me in Parliament or the Legislature. In other words, if I knew they were gays and lesbians, I would not vote for them. Period! Christians are not to vote for those people. Doing so will give them the credence and opportunity to further advance their ungodly agenda. God is taking note.
There are those who got married and whose first husbands/wives are still alive. They obtained a divorce from City Halls and married other people.
Then, there are those who get married in City Halls rather than in a consecrated Church as they do not practice their faith. They are all committing adultery and are living an adulterous life. God knows that too.
I have stated, those who call for Weiner’s resignation should also call for those homosexuals and lesbians resignation. To a certain point, they are no better than him. In the eyes of God, sins are sins.
@Muslim_Always
…But they hide to do so, if given the opportunity and dominate their wives. It is abuse all around them.
That has nothing to do with a man being attractive people….us women make these men feel like they too much…if some women would have a little dignity and respect for themselves and others , then who the hell would a man cheat with….get to know the man before you open your legs for him and fall for his lies about not having a woman …by the time he married with kids…So the way I see it ladies we are the ones in control…respect yourself…respect de woman man and we safe!
thats true..
There are many attractice guys whoare faithful but lets nbe honest here. the majority of attractive men are indeed infaithful married or unmarried. They know women are easily drawn by that lovely V-shaped body which sometime has syphillis, AIDS and the like. Come on people some men in hi society do have some of those sicknesses. Some women are aware while the foolish ones remain unlearnt. Let check the man from the heart not from that dust to dust thing he is carry abot him.
its not about ugly or pretty. its all about commitment and sacrificing for the better good of the relationship. However many woman know the type of shit they are married to long before .And infact they see the warning signs flashing but they choose to ignore it for whatever reason.AS`long as they get the man.Only God that can prevent a man from leaving a woman.If a man wants to leave there is nothing that can stop him.Infact you are only delaying his depature.Sex cannot keep a man and giving him a baby is of no help.THere are really some stupid woman out there that need to fix their brains.as well as men.
TRUE DAT! CUZ I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I SAW IN MY GUY, HE WASN’T GOOD LOOKING AT ALL! AND HE STILL CHEATED ON ME…LOOKS DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT!
