I once dated a guy while I was in college who, while we were dating, put on about 70 pounds. He still thought of himself as the athlete stud that apparently he was in high school. And at the same time, he had this magical ability to make me feel like complete crap about myself... including regularly hitting on…

Yikes! I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole while wearing a hazmat suit.

This is so true! I met a guy online recently and his profile didn’t have a picture but he said he was ‘attractive, in good shape’ and when he sent me his photo I almost gagged. But obviously I said ‘you have a nice smile’ and probably went on to confirm his belief that he’s attractive.

And loads of regret.

He looks like he smells like cigarettes and old spice.

James you made me spit my coffee!!!!!

And he calls himself

I think I just threw up a little.

What an object of heated romantic interest in the real world.

Here, for your viewing pleasure, is a photo of Jeffrey Wells. Straight men are so delusional.

Let’s take a moment to look at the stunning beauty that is Jeffrey Wells...

Of course they are just as susceptible but the big difference between the two cases is the small matter of proof. We all saw the pictures of Rihanna. If Madonna says it didn’t happen, I have no reason to believe otherwise.

I suppose that if these were my neighbours I would agree with you but...it’s MADONNA! She’s not exactly a shrinking violet! If Sean really had beaten her, she would say it.

Apparently it’s a place where you dictate others’ experiences.

It does appear that she pretty thoroughly denied them at the time (RS interview) and hasn’t addressed them since.

But no one can ever produce a copy of it, I’ll wager...

Why not?

I haven’t seen other specific accusations of abuse. Details?

Thankfully your opinion is irrelevant.

If the accusations are truly false, it’s absolutely horrible that they were allowed to stand as fact for so long.
