Great posts all of you from short to long. I think what is sad besides all the obvious, the crime, the prosecutions stepping on thier ____? was after he dodges a bullet fails to change his life enough to stay out of trouble but possibly the civil trial that took all his assets and over ridding guilt could not be avoided.
The sad lesson here is not just OJ but Mel Gibson Who also is a man and after a certain age realizes his mortality and seek immortality by persuing women of a certain type, Trophy, younger ect. that makes them feel younger or immortal.
Unfortunately many times they are there for their own agenda and when it melts down the guys just loose it. I have watched many close martial artist loose their minds and even suicide over this issue.
You have to be mature enough to understand what a person is and no amount of money or effort on you part will change that.
Up here men constantly get women from the internet whom we call mail order brides from hell. In fact on my trip to Korea and returning from Japan there was a whole group of guys over 35 that had young japanese girls who just spent the last year meeting all the requirements to bring them to the US to marry.
It was wild some of them were totally freaking out and way immature you could just see the problems coming down the road.
Men like Mel Gibson need to learn to find a person age appropriate that likes them and can be friends to the end. Bottom line if they sleep around or take your money you're the one with the problem for being with them. Getting angry or hitting them will never make it right.
Martial Art has a great story of a man who lived with a snake and one day the snake bit him and as he is dying asks the snake why did you do this? I fed you kept you warm and loved you? The snake replied why are you suprised I am a snake its what I do.
Bottom line for the sexes its all sleeping with the enemy you either learn to stay out of it or make a truce some how to live with each other. Up here men have to learn if you are going to date or marry a certain type of women you don't loose your women just your turn? OJ should have learned that or made better choices.
