A portrait in Game

Is anyone conversant with Game going to be even a little bit surprised at this sordid California scandal? First, look at the picture below. Simply from the information provided by it, can you correctly guess a) who cheated, b) who told what appears to be a false story to the police, and c) the relative age of the lover and the spouse?

The developing tale of Alameda County Supervisor Nadia Lockyer and her husband, California State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, has thickened, as the San Francisco Chronicle reported the existence of an extramarital sex tape allegedly featuring Nadia and her former lover.

On February 3, police responded to a 911 call from a hotel room where Nadia had been the victim of an assault that required medical attention.  According Bill Lockyer, the attacker was an ex-boyfriend whom he claimed had been stalking his wife. (The San Jose Mercury News identified the man as Stephan Chikhani of San Jose.) However, after further investigation, authorities found that Nadia and Chikhani may have been involved in a consensual extramarital relationship.

So, how surprising is it that Lockyer's "attacker", who turns out not to be a stalker, but her meth-dealing lover, is 25 years younger and much more visibly alpha than the fat political herb to whom she is married? Not only does Chikhani have a criminal record, but he still hasn't been arrested or charged by the police for the purported "assault".

This is the sort of fate that Gammas and Deltas who wait for the carousel riders to hop off the carousel and into their supportive arms are often risking without realizing it. The problem is that once a woman acquires a taste for ALPHA, it is very, very hard for her to give it up, regardless of how much sense it makes for her to do so and how much she puts at risk by her extramarital ALPHA-chasing. Consider that Nadia Lockyer was not only willing to risk her marriage but a political position that cost her husband $1.5 million to acquire. So while it is clearly tempting for men of lower socio-sexual rank to wait and acquire more attractive women than they might otherwise merit by allowing an ex-carousel chick to settle down with them in her sexual retirement, it is very important for them to understand that such women come with a much higher risk of unfaithfulness attached due to their tendency to pull a Brett Favre and repeatedly unretire. The risk may be deemed worthwhile, it may even be worthwhile in some cases, but the important thing is to understand that there are inherent risks involved.
