The JumpOff Career Plan.

As more and more details of Tiger-gate emerge, I'm still baffled at why these former sidepieces are talking. I just don't get it.



What About Your Future?!? - Think about it: few of these chicks have real jobs, unless you count club hostess/scrip club waitress as a real job, which I don't.[1] Essentially, their whole existence has been wooing, sleeping with, and profiting from married men who want to keep their affairs on the hush. So, if you're blabbing on national TV, aren't you more or less ruining your future prospects by announcing that you'll willingly screw up the most important aspect (confidentiality) of what you do? Even if you decide to go to Everest College in an attempt to get out the game, what employer is going to want you after they do the requisite Google? Ditto for any non-baller/regular guy whom you wanna have a serious relationship with.

Losing $1M To Make $30k - It's been suggested that one of Woods' ex-paramours was paid as much as $1M in hush money, which suddenly makes chirping like a bird look like a dubious financial decision. What other job is going to pay you $1M with amazing benefits for merely laying down an occasional 15 minutes? We're in a recession, ladies, don't you read WSJ?

Messin' It Up For The Rest Of The Co-Workers - I think it's fair to say that this incident might encourage high profile men to re-evaluate their approaches to extramarital affairs. Much like The SuperHead Effect has apparently caused many black athletes and entertainers to simply hire hookers, rather than bother with groupies, I suspect Tiger-gate will leave plenty of career jumpoffs out of work. Again, might I suggest Everest College?



All That Said, I'd Totally Do It - As much as I pick at these women, I totally, and I mean entirely understand the mentality. Think about it, fellas: if Halle Berry were married, yet wanted to contract you out as her occasional boy toy, would you not be filling out the figurative job application with the quickness. As much as we might bash these ladies, let's keep it one hunned. There ain't a single one of us that wouldn't at least give this a second, if not 8th, thought.

Question: Have the ladies of Tiger-gate ruined the jumpoff game, or is there still hope for aspiring dimegetters?

[1] One of the latest chicks to come out says she met Tiger when she was a waitress at Perkins. Perkins?!? C'mon Tiger, aim higher. I guess Houston's was out of your league.

I doubt that anything is gonna change. If anything, the jump-off phenomenon will probably get worse; it'll be the new "job of the future". :-|

I would give it a 9th thought, vomit, and then walk away.

I'll ill-get my ill-gotten gains in some other ill-begotten manner, thank you very much. XD

I can't always tell if you are being serious or sarcastic. To me, seriously, this whole business is foolishness piled on top of foolishness. I can't relate to any of it: not Tiger who has a nice house and family with two cute kids, but is off sleeping with everybody and anybody like he has nothing better to do and not the women he is sleeping with. The whole concept of money for sex makes me nauseous. There is something upside down and sideways in the minds of these women which psychologist probably have a name for, but I, for sure, don't understand. I'm a simple person living a simple life and fine with it just like that. Do I think this whole episode will change the future of the cheating enterprise? No. By the New Year it will be forgotten and things will go on as usual.

Goes to show there is no honor among Jump offs. In spite of all its faults don't you just love capitalism where a lowly paid cocktail waitress can rise to highest peaks of tabloid fodder. I'm dont want to get in a debate about creeping but one thing this drama goes to show is Tiger clearly has no street smarts at all. Using your own personal cell to correspond with Jump offs..smh.

"few of these chicks have real jobs" - AB talk a bout a hidden pun if i ever heard one..lol

If Tiger was a Zamundan prince, we would all be smiling about this.

This has not ruined the jumpoff game. Perhaps the celebrities/athletes who have so much to lose (endorsements, public support, etc) will have their future jumpoffs sign a non-disclosure before dipping the stick. (**sarcasm**)

And while you WOULD think a certain group of cheating men might learn a lesson you are sadly mistaken...as long as cheaters have dicks...they will cheat and most likely be stupid about it. And there will be always be jumpoffs and women scorned who will tell their story for money--and some will tell it for free.

And they're all a bunch of dumb asses. The jumpoffs are no worse than Tiger...if he's gonna cheat, he's gonna reap what he sows.

No, nothing will change. Any man who's successful in his field, and ESPECIALLY those that are wildly successful, rich, young and/or in shape will always have plenty of opportunities to mess around, if that what he's interested in.

Isn't Perkins a "soul food restaurant"? I don't agree with cheating on anyone's spouse, but am so disappointed with his pickings especially that one from England in the Red dress; and are any of them "black" women or is it that they are not kissin' and tellin'

It's a good thing that I'm far too broke for a jumpoff to rat me out.

C'mon, this post was total fluff. I have too much Tiger in my inbox.
