Christie Brinkley is recently divorce from her fourth husband, Peter Cook. Although I will admit that Mr. Cook is a bad guy for having sex with a barely legal adult (she was between 17 or 18) and watching 9,000 worth of porn a month. Ms. Brinkley is now divorced for the fourth time and she states that many of her ex-husband, with the exception of Billy Joel (2nd husband) was not very good men. Even the therapist involved in the cases said Mrs. Brinkley should reconsider what types of men she is attracted to (he also said that Mr. Cook is narcarrist with a bottomless ego).
What I found sad is that Christie is such a beautiful woman yet she is not able to find good husband. I thought that beauty was one of the key players when come to a man choosing a spouse for life or at least having the guts to talk to asked her on a date. Don’t all men want a beautiful wife over an intelligent plain Jane, so that they can show her off? Peter Cook had it all, a beautiful wife, a family, successful career, and a nice mansion. Why would he give up all that for an 18 year old mistress who is worth 300,000 dollars and 9,000 dollars of porn a month is ironic to me?
What kind of men would cheat on a woman as beautiful as Christie Brinkley? She is beautiful, isn’t that enough? So what I want to know is, as a man, is beauty an important factor in your relationship/marriage? Does having a beautiful wife/girlfriend override any flaw i.e. intelligence, love, stability or do that beautiful wife of yours must have more to keep you to stayed faithful to her? Is beauty everything to you, the man?
Now I want to focus on Ms. Brinkley. She had been divorced fourth times. Her first marriage ended after her first husband, who she married at 19 could not take all the success of her career as a supermodel while he was a struggling actress. Her second marriage was with Billy Joel, father of her first child, Alex Ray Joel. She ended her marriage with Billy Joel because she was cheating on him with third husband who she meets after a helicopter plane crash. She divorced her third husband after a year because she said that he was a user and liar. Third husband is also father to her son. Her fourth marriage was to Peter Cook; who she had just recently divorced. He is the father of her third child, a girl. I do not like to judge women for their choice in men but it seem to be that Christie is attracted to men with the following characteristic:
1. Egotistic
2. Narcarristic
3. Rich
4. Attractive
It also finds these kinds of traits in the modern bad boys. Women, especially successful beautiful women are attracted to emotionally unavailable men. Of course, these emotionally unavailable men are considereds bad boys but they also happen to rich, most of the times anyways. Just picture a Mr. Big from sex and the city or a James Bond. It also rumor to believe that bad boys get laid more while nice guys finish last. It seems to be that Christie Brinkley is one of the successful beautiful women who are always attracted to rich bad boys. From what I can understand, these successful beautiful women reject the notion of good guys because they are not fun enough for them. They go after bad boy because they are a challenge. Since they were a success at getting everything they wanted, school, their jobs, their own apartments, they figure that they can change the bad boys into good guy thus getting their rewards. Good guys are left out of the equation because will, there was no challenge for them.
I would like to Carrie Bradshaw as an example. I know that she is a fictional character, but let’s just applied her to the modern American women. She finally married John James Preston (Mr. Big) after ten years of courtship. In the series, she continues to see John even though he had shown her repeal that he is just not that into her. When he gets married, she was willing to travel far and while to cheat on “nice guy” Aiden to be John’s mistress. She was there for him when he got divorced and she was still “friends” with him as he cruised though his bachelor years. She waited for him, was his booty call friend, and basically went crazy over him as she waited patiently for him to discover the she is the one for him. She ditched her girlfriend for big, whenever he needed her and was willing to rush to his need, even if she was with a boyfriend.
When Carrie was dating Aiden, she was skeptical about Aiden because he was such as nice guy. She did not want to meet his parents because there was not enough drama in the relationship, because he was romantic, and she could not even bring herself to put on the engagement ring on her finger. Why did all this happen, because he is a nice guy?
This said a lot about successful beautiful American women who are attracted to bad boys. Since bad boys are a challenge and refused to commit, American women are even more attracted to them. They reject all the nice guys because of the nice guy’s inability to keep their relationship fun. So many of these beautiful successful women are shock when their bad boys turn out to be will actually bad since they invested so much time in turning the bad boy into good guys. These beautiful women, like Christie would then divorce them or breakup with them finally because they are tired of being with bad boys. When they come back into the dating pool, much older than usual, they discovered that all the good guys are taken. All those good guys that they had rejected are now happily married to women who did not reject them for being a nice guy.
So I want to ask you beautiful women, why are you so attracted to bad boys? Why do you reject all the Aiden for a Mr. Big? Why do you complain about the lack of good guys after the bad boys rejected you? Then continue to date the bad boys?
So, the big question is this: since men prize a woman more on her beauty and physical attractiveness instead of her brains then why can’t a beautiful woman keep a man faithful to her? The next question is, why are so many women are willing to dump the good guys with the bad boys?
