I was thinking that somehow the most respected and taken seriously people in most societies seem to be monogamous that don't sleep around, don't put girls high in their priorities and that often have solid families and/relationships around them.

PRESIDENTS:
Compare:
- Merkel/(most)US presidents: all in monogamous relationships with their "beautiful" families. All respected individual people listen to.
VS
- Berlusconi , sleeping around, a joke to most European counterparties;
- Gheddafi: moving around with an army of amazons to entertain him, considered an idiot the whole world over (friend of Berlusconi, maybe not by accident)


BUSINESS PEOPLE
- Warren Buffet: married a 60YO woman that her ex wife introduced to him, all 3 were good friends and possibly only had these 2 women;
- Ben Bernanke, current president of the FED, one long term wife two children;
- Alan Greenspan , former FED president, 2 wifes, certainly not the kind of guy you'd imagine sleeping around.
- Henry Paulson: former CEO of Goldman Sachs and Secretary of the Treasury during the financial crisis, one long term wife.

These are some of the most respected people whom you could hear talking.
It's hard to think of any highly respected person who places women (plural) high in his list, sleeps around and moves on frequently with relationships.

Of course if you think hard there'll be a few, but disproportionately the people that command the most respect and that are hold in the highest regards seem to have solid, long term relationship lives and don't bed hop even when they could do so very easily (because of fame, money etc.)




I think there are several reasons for it, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

You have absolutely zero idea how many of these people are monogamous. This post is retarded.

You make a post based entirely on your assumptions about world leaders sex lives that is based on absolutely nothing whatsoever and want me to have a rational discussion about your idiotic conclusion (based on something you just made up with no evidence whatsoever?)? Yea, ok.

What you're all saying is definitely part of the truth.

But I think there's also something more than that.

1. It's almost a necessity to have a stable relationship: successful people need to spend a lot of time in their trade so wouldn't have much time to chase multiple girlss

Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a host of other successful people might disagree with that.

True, I said "success" when I should have said "commanding respect (across the board)".

Clinton might be an exception, and for sure there are many more (even though I wouldn't put Tiger and Arnold in that list), like the former IMF chief, but still the guys holding top decision making positions seem to be disproportionately in solid relationships...

Again, how on earth do you know if their relationships are solid? People would have said Arnold's relationship was solid until recently. You are just making stuff up with no basis in fact.

What you're all saying is definitely part of the truth.

But I think there's also something more than that.

1. It's almost a necessity to have a stable relationship: successful people need to spend a lot of time in their trade so wouldn't have much time to chase multiple girls;

2. They tend to be very focused in their trade so they look for stability;

3. Their qualities are partially reflected in their relationship and as they are good in their life so they are in their relationships.
