Tiger & Elin"It's pretty exciting to find a person who complements you so well. She's just like me: very competitive with a little bit of a temper." -Tiger Woods, on Elin Nordegren.

I just don't understand how a man like Tiger Woods could be so, so stupid. He had it all, a beautiful 2 children family, a perfect beautiful trusting wife, a great career, money, seeing the world, big home, basicly any thing he wanted. Why would he want or even look at another woman, god, look at the woman he had! Unless there's something I don't know, another would not even come close to Elin. Or maybe it's just me, but I think she's honest, trusting, good natured and bonus, she's beautiful with a heart of gold. Wish I could have the chance to meet her in person. Maybe Elin you'll have to meet a regular guy who will honor and love you, for ever and ever, to give you the true family life you wanted. And yes I'm single, lol but won't be crusing your neighbor hood any time soon. :) But keep your head up and all the best in your search of true forever love. Yours sincerely Gerald Mallaley, Fredericton NB Canada.
