The Pros and Cons of Relationships with Professional Athletes

Here's an interesting article reviewing relationship issues involving professional athletes and some of their morally objectionable tendencies.

Included is a reasonable wish from NBA star Jalen Rose:
    "Love between two people must be the best union in the world but if there's no love it is the worst feeling. I'd like to have a family. I want that white picket fence and the apple pie but it's hard to find. I don't want a three-year marriage. And I don't want a girlfriend for two months."

    "We all want a woman with a nice flat stomach, the great body, nice personality who can clean the house and is a great cook. At the same time guys want to grow a potbelly while sitting on the couch drinking beer."
I understand about the body and the personality, Jalen, but I don't know about the potbelly and beer.
