The Daily Beast Asks the Burning Question: Why Do Dudes Cheat With Skank Hoes?
You gotta give it up to the Daily Beast…they’re really bringing the heat over there this week. Yesterday it was with a fawning profile of New York’s latest Mecca for Titanic douchebags, today it’s a probing op-ed written by former US Weekly editor Janice Min that attempts to get to the bottom of the vexing “Why do men cheat on their ladies with skank hoes?” question.
Min starts out her piece by pulling no punches about the fact that she thinks that the girls being boned on the side by the likes of Tiger Woods, Eliot Spitzer, and Bill Clinton et al are butt-ugly.
Perhaps some of this audience is familiar with a particularly unpleasant, misogynistic term men use: Butter Faces (“She has a great body… but-her-face.” Get it?). I hate to admit it, but these women immediately made me think of that expression. In other words, they have slamming slim physiques (is Dupre ever NOT posing in a bikini or lingerie?) paired with perfectly fine faces that, on their own, probably would not launch a thousand ships. Most women would rather have the looks, education, and polish of Silda Spitzer or Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren any day.
So why is it that guys choose to bang “Butter Faces” on the side? It’s obviously because these are the type of women who work in service-y industries, thus they are more skilled in the art of extracting a certain gooey bodily fluid from a dong you see.
The occupations of the various mistresses du jour are revealing: club hostess, prostitute, and cocktail waitress-turned-reality-show star. They are the ultimate service-industry women for men accustomed to being served and serviced. It’s hard not to imagine these women existing merely as physical, pneumatic vessels meant to please and serve the sexual desires and egos of insatiable men; they are, in essence, warm-blooded blow-up dolls for men whose Madonna/whore complex remains more than a cliché.
Apparently no man has ever had an affair with a high-falutin’ broad like Janice Min, because high-falutin’ broads like Janice Min don’t degrade themselves by providing the same eager services that the Butter-Faced seminal receptacles working in the service industry do. Wait…do I sense perhaps just a twinge of jealously here? CATFIGHT!!!
Regardless, truly thought-provoking, groundbreaking stuff here. (Cue polite golf applause.)

Monica Lewinski has a great body?
As one who has recently strayed with a “butterface” of my own, I must admit the Beast’s analysis to be right on the mark – yes! this is it …”the occupations of the various mistresses du jour are revealing: club hostess, prostitute, and cocktail waitress-turned-reality-show star. They are the ultimate service-industry women for men accustomed to being served and serviced. It’s hard not to imagine these women existing merely as physical, pneumatic vessels meant to please and serve the sexual desires and egos of insatiable men; they are, in essence, warm-blooded blow-up dolls for men whose Madonna/whore complex remains more than a cliché.”
My fantasy blow-up doll is an online psychic who reads the hands of male targets on open-air parks, wellness shows at shopping malls, etc — men who need to be served and serviced. Astute read, DB!
JPM in Portland, Oregon
Are u the JP Mackley who headed the Foreign Press Bureau in Zagreb, Croatia and who worked to help indict the Serbian war criminal Vojislac Seselj, leader of the murderous White Eagles? What happened to him? Did they convict? Read on www you were in Haiti with Lyn Gueri-somebody and someone named Linda Charles. Are you living in Folsom? Marko
These kinds of guys (Woods, Clinton, et al) cheat because sex isn’t about a relationship with any particular woman — it’s about actualizing fantasies that are frequently deviant and violent – fantasies about control, exploitation, violation, humiliation, and countless other scenarios these guys play out in their heads (or in real time) while using these sexual props. Why would someone prefer a butterhead or ‘dirty girl’ to a polished, educated, elegantly beautiful woman? Use your imagination …. or remember British actor Hugh Grant — caught by LA police with (maybe transvestite?) butt-ugly whore administering a BJ. And Hugh Grant was married at that time to model Elizabeth Hurley — a real beauty. Sex with Butterheads is about feeding a psychological need (and not a good one) — not a sexual need. Rape, it is said, is not about sex…..well, neither is this….
Re the first comment — Monica L has a great body? I agree with Mate — it’s not even about great bodies — it’s about the opportunity to actualize ‘forbidden,’ (what a great proportion of society still considers dirty or kinky) fantasies and sexual behaviors with women (or whores, which is actually easier, since ‘you can pay them to leave’) who aren’t ‘real’ or emotionally/socially/relationally important to you. These skank hoes are indeed one step above blow-up dolls — but too dumb to realize it. The guys who cheat with these skank hoes are usually stunted, sexually and emotionally, and incapable of achieving sexual satisfaction in the context of a caring relationship with the ‘nice’ or ‘classy’ women they date or marry because they seek social approbation. Woman like Elizabeth Hurley or Ellie Woods are essentially for ’show’ — the skank hoes are for go….
Question for the JP Mackley who cheated with the online psychic — did you do it telepathically, online, or in the flesh? Are there such things as online Butterheads? Isn’t it called 1-900 phone lines? How many of those guys are out there? The internet is the newest and most powerful APP for guys who want to commit adultery…..
I’m “J.P. Mackley”, that’s my stolen identity! My name is Kathleen Millar and I’ve been all over the internet trashing the guy as I’m a jilted lover. Sorry.
HUH?
May I suggest posters should stay on topic? I thought we were talking about the phenomenon of “Butterheadism,” so recently illustrated in the cases of Tiger Woods and John Edwards.
Spouses or partners who cheat generally try to keep this type of behavior secret. Why? Obviously, because they understand adultery will not be well-received either by their own husbands/wives or by society. Here’s the bottomline: no one bothers to hide good behavior — only reprehensible behavior. The idea that a man can have a first-string (wives) and a second-string (girlfriends) (from ‘Goodfellows’: “Saturday nights at the Copa were for wives, but everyone knew Friday nights were reserved for girlfriends…”) is still alive and well in some cultures, and especially in situations where the husband or man retains ownership of all the financial assets. For women, however, divorce, with monetary renumeration, is now a legal option, and women like Woods’ wife (good-looking AND smart) are leaving their cheating partners in the arms of the Butterheads who ‘really love them’ — as long as the perks hold out. Old story that occurs hundreds of times a day around the world, but which only remains interesting when the ‘cheater’ is a celebrity — Woods, Clinton, Edwards — high-stake players who seem compelled (by their own self-destructive impulses?) to take the risk.
Let’s not forget Mark Anthony and Cleopatra and where that led…..
To Haitigirl:
Unfortunately, in the flesh. I only WISH I had used a 1-900 Butterhead.
When you hang up, she’s GONE.
(PS-Use a payphone).
Yup, I hacked into JP_Mackley’s email accounts. Again, my name is Kathleen Millar and I used to be his lover. I’m trying to exact revenge on JP Mackley, so don’t believe a word I say. Linkedin finally figured me out. If you see JP Mackley anywhere on the internet, I’m behind it.

Thanks for keeping this subject ‘on topic’. I’m finding all this name calling interesting. As you point out, there are many other cultures that define relationships in other ways. I lived in Europe for many years…and relationships look very different than in the U.S. Not saying one culture has it right over any other, mind you. That’s not for me to judge.
Problems ensue, as you put so well, when there are secrets in a relationship.
We have a strange way of jumping to conclusions before we have all the facts. American media does this all too often..but then and again, they wouldn’t if we didn’t relish hearing about it so much.
We’re willing to believe anything anyone puts on paper or sends through the airwaves, it seems. They used to call this “Yellow Journalism”.
Seems like someone with multiple personality disorder has invaded this discussion. Think it’s over. If we’re lucky.
Maybe the Butterheads are launching an offensive. Just toooooo confusing.
Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are…..
Definitely only over if, like John (above) implies, if people keep in mind that it’s a big world out there with as many differing lifestyles as there are people. And although I am guilty of name-calling, myself, I try not to because it makes me look like I sometimes am, insecure, judgmental and vindictive.
You guys are going to drive me to pain pills again if you keep on ranting like this.
Heh, heh, Rush, I was thinkin’ the same thinger.
‘cept in my case it would be drivin me to drink….
You guys are giving our party and our political affiliations a bad rap. I’m the only one that’s allowed to do that. M.S.
