I have been thinking about this issue for a few months and have finally gotten around to asking the question. I understand the idea of sleeping with a rich and famous man. It is not that I would sleep with a man just because he is rich and famous, but I can understand why some women would do such a thing. However, considering the number of rich and famous men in America and around the world, I do not understand sleeping with Donald Trump. I assume Melania did it to get a green card, but why did the other women sleep with Trump?
I cannot see any good reason to sleep with Donald Trump. He is not good looking. He is not fit or sexy. He does not seem like he would be good in bed. Finally, he does not seem to have a good personality. I could understand sleeping with him if he had even one of those things.
Are these women sleeping with him for the challenge? Do they have daddy issues? Are they hoping to get money even though some say they did not want money?

(26,060 posts)of his lays say they didn't want money, I'm guessing it's the money. Just think about it - a woman who grows up poor and sheltered in a rural community or something like that is all of a sudden getting shown interest by a rich man, riding in limousines, screwing at 5 star hotels. Plenty of women would get taken in by that kind of thing (as would many men).

(22,037 posts)Karen McDougal was a Playboy Playmate who had an affair with Trump around the same time he was hangin' with Stormy. After their session, Ms. McDougal was getting dressed and when Trump reached for his wallet, she declined the money saying she's "not that girl."

This is only one example but Ms. McDougal was a consenting partner unlike many of Trump's other assault victims.
there's a difference between wanting money spent on you and having money handed to you after sex

(3,335 posts)give the impression that they are a one night stand, or a paid hooker. Of course the reason they went to bed with him in the first place is to snare him longterm, regardless of what he looks like. He has the means to pay their bills and support a lifestyle they can quickly become accustomed to, and he probably won't demand too much because he also has a family of his own, so they figure the demands on them can't be too much when you factor all those things into the equation.

Ohiogal
(32,006 posts)Who chased after and married a guy who's wealthy, even though he was married twice before and she worked for him (secretary) so she knew what kind of a cheater and liar and drunk he was, yet she married him anyway. My friend tells me this woman likes the European vacations, expensive new cars, jewelry, dinners out, etc. However, after two years, she is starting to get tired of being treated so badly. She knows he's cheating on her. He is demanding and calls her insulting names. He comes home drunk often or not at all.
I guess, I would rather live a very modest lifestyle on my own, than put up with a guy like that, I don't care about all the money in the world, there wouldn't be enough of it for me to put up with being treated like crap like that.

(12,660 posts)People who do "business" with him or associate with him do it for cache, to be seen by others who have power in certain fields of business who can further their career.
He's a joke, but he's also a front man for certain areas of north-east entertainment, real estate, or mob-associated businesses. He can - or rather, could - get you to the people who actually run things. Don't know if he has that sort of association anymore. He's pissed a lot of people off, and with all the federal and state scrutiny, I doubt he still has as much pull with his mob associates as he used to.

Or, they fall for his false confidence?

There is not enough power in the world, even if I wanted power.
There are not enough blindfolds in the world to keep that disgusting man from view.
There are not enough drugs in the world to make is seem less than revolting.
Just knowing he ever had a woman in his bed makes my gorge rise.

He is thoroughly disgusting in every possible way. The thought of what that mop of hair must look like after being slept on is reason enough in and of itself, all the other yuck factors not withstanding.

(90,714 posts)He can turn the charm off and on like a tap. He was very persistant in pursuing women.
As for Stormy Daniels, (1) she does it for money, her choice to pick and choose the client; and (2) a decade ago he was not the physical wreck he is now. I'm sure he turned on the con and the charm.

That being said, I can't sleep with strangers or men I'm repulsed by. I don't care if he's a zillionaire. But to each his/her own.

I am just glad people have stopped asking my beautiful wife that question, they were beginning to wear her down.
