Be careful for what you wish for!

Dating a politician or for that matter any man wielding great power will have its perks as well as its downside. The question you have to ask yourself is is it worth it?

Could you put up with women throwing themselves at your man? Having known women that were dating NBA basketball players, I know that other women were literally throwing themselves at these men. Dating someone else or not, the other women didn’t care. They were attracted to his fame, money and power like bears to honey. One of my colleagues told the story of getting off a plane with her man, his arm around her, and women giving the guy their numbers!

The list of political relationship horror stories is legion. There’s John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Eliot Spitzer, Mark Sanford all of recent note. What I’m trying to point out is that these are not isolated incidents. These are men doing what men do with power: attract mates. This has been going on for thousands of years and will not stop.

My hope is that you’ll recognize this before you go into this kind of relationship and go in with eyes wide open.

In this way, dating, mating and relating won’t have to be so hard!
