90. I think she has low self-esteem. It can happen with beautiful and accomplished people.

She might want the marriage to work, or maybe she's afraid. I can understand this with some women with children being reluctant to leave an undesirable husband, because it would be very hard on them. But Huma can. She has a career, money and a support group of family, co-workers and friends who like her. I hope she wakes up.

About perverts who are flashers. [View all] Cleita Jul 2013 OP

Did he send his dick to random people?... allin99 Jul 2013 #1

Don't think that could have been done on a rotary phone. eom Cleita Jul 2013 #2

So the equivilant is not random flashing but... allin99 Jul 2013 #3

You're talking about consensual behavior, I think, but frankly I don't know what you are getting at. Cleita Jul 2013 #7

Right, which is why i asked, did he send his dick to random people... allin99 Jul 2013 #10

Even flashers are not random. They select their victims, usually very young pretty girls. Cleita Jul 2013 #12

i mean the people who he sent the texts to... allin99 Jul 2013 #27

I don't know what has become of this country. Cleita Jul 2013 #29

Why do you keep not answering the questions? JVS Jul 2013 #45

Probably because she's just been a flashee Aerows Jul 2013 #138

That makes no difference in the ability to know what the facts of the case are. JVS Jul 2013 #140

That may be true Aerows Jul 2013 #142

That's not what was asked. What was asked was whether the pics were unsolicited or not. JVS Jul 2013 #145

Hard to say Aerows Jul 2013 #146

At least one of the women from the original situation, tblue37 Jul 2013 #162

Ha! zappaman Jul 2013 #154

I know Aerows Jul 2013 #169

Do we know for a fact that his sexting was unsolicited and unwanted? I was under the kestrel91316 Jul 2013 #57

Read some of the posts on this thread that explain that Cleita Jul 2013 #58

But... What about actual facts? whttevrr Jul 2013 #59

Try Google. If you haven't kept up with the news, that's where to start. Cleita Jul 2013 #60

Boy, you seriously need to take a chill pill. What's with the nastiness? kestrel91316 Jul 2013 #62

Get tired of this stuff. The truth is out there. Unless that person was in a cave until Cleita Jul 2013 #66

Is that how it works? whttevrr Jul 2013 #64

Thanks for the research assignment I suppose. KurtNYC Jul 2013 #108

See post 143 Kurt and Kestrel. That's just one of them that I had bookmarked. There were more Catherina Jul 2013 #149

Well if the women went along with the sex talk and were flirty, I can see where that might kestrel91316 Jul 2013 #61

See my post here. He did it on political forums, chat forums, places women were't looking for that Catherina Jul 2013 #172

Well that's just shameful. He needs to find a career other than politics. kestrel91316 Jul 2013 #177

Thanks Kestrel. It sure is. I can't even imagine someone doing such a thing. I'd be so angry! n/t Catherina Jul 2013 #180

I agree with you Politicalboi Jul 2013 #80
