...flock to their vicinity hoping the celebrity will make a strong move on them so they can feel like Helen of Troy for a day or two. And now there is the added #metoo option: complain/brag about and otherwise relive the experience 30 years after the fact and enjoy public sympathy.

Not all rich men are good men. Rich men can be rapist and serial killers as well.

They do, but it's not about good looking women. It's about their ego. It's about some women turning them down when they should be all over them. Nothing more nothing less, but their inflate egos. Personally, I think it's waste of time and not worth risking your career by harassing women who rejected them, but some men think with what is in between their legs.

Do rich and powerful men have trouble getting good looking women? Probably not. Did you see Weinstein's wife? She was gorgeous. So is Melania Trump. I think the temptation to cheat by rich men is stronger because of accessibility. Unfortunately money is an aphrodisiac for some women and they want to take advantage of it. I have a friend that had a sugar daddy for quite awhile. He payed for her college courses and helped her with living expenses in exchange for favors.

That being said it is hard to understand why some men feel the need to sexually harass women. Maybe it's the challenge of the power of no? Some women have no interest in sleeping with some fat ugly way older man under any circumstances, and maybe some men think that they can take or buy anything they want?

plus, notice that many are, shall I say, old as dirt and/or unfortunate looking and might not attract any women except for their position of power.....think H Weinstein.....

Well if say your competing against a bunch of young male models and wanna be actors, you can't really blame the guy for using whatever leverage he has .

Monogamy is a torture for these men.
Some cultures allow four wives but harshly punish adultery. America is the opposite.
