No offense but I doubt that Weinner got much attention from women in his 20’s. The poor guy is just not physically attractive. He probably only started getting lucky after he became a congressman.

I didn’t hear Rush mention that and posted much the same thing myself the other day. The guy feels powerless and less than male so he does totally inappropriate things. Some women have the same problem and act out in the same inappropriate way.

It figures that a wiener would be wearing a dickey.

Rarely do you see someone with a character flaw like this who is not stockpiling some more similar dirty linen in his/her closet.

Behavior like this is usually in character rather than out of character.

Just a personal observation after watching too many episodes like this unfold through the years.

Cellophane man. I’m just a cellophane man.

Yeah. Married to Mrs. Clinton’s once and probably continuing girlfriend. Mrs. C needed Huma officially out of the house and heterosexually attached to avoid the public perceptions of her own weirdnesses. I am not sure Weiner’s reources could come anywhere near to supportting this highest of maintenance woman.

Weiner just got married. Why would he care about being invisible to women? He is suppose to out of the dating game.

Plus, he’s a high profile congressman, he’s not going to be invisible to anyone.

Weiner isn’t going through a middle life crisis. He’s a prev.

I'm no fan of Michael Savage, but I had him on briefly yesterday and listened to a segment that will go down as a talk radio classic. I'll paraphrase his rambling monologue as best I can:

"I hope Anthony Weiner's parents are both alive and well, and I'd really like to meet them so I can figure out how he ended up this way. Which of your parents did this to you, Congressman Weiner? . . . Hey, Mrs. Weiner -- I know you're out there, and I know you listen to this show . . . because I'm the son you always wished you had. Please call the station so I can ask you a few things about your son!"

This was even more comical because Michael Savage's real last name is Weiner!

His need for continuous attention, photographing himself in mirrors...photographing...uh...himself....seems like narcissistic personality disorder. If so, that would mean he is incapable of a true attachment/love for his wife and that he may feel, ever since he was a child, that if he isn’t getting attention then he’s disappearing. No cure for the disorder - if he stops sending emails of himself then he’d find another way to get attention just to ‘exist’.

I kinda get the same vibe from Arnold - there are parts of the day when he’s not getting constant attention so he acquires it from the maid, if not others. It’s not affection or attraction from or for the maid, it’s attention.

...one of the worst things about getting older is that you become “invisible to women.” It’s not just that they aren’t interested in you, he said, “it’s that they don’t see you.”

I suspect this guy is talking about young women. Women in his age group probably notice him all of the time, but they are invisible to him, I’ll bet.

I don’t buy this author’s premise at all. I get the feeling Weiner ALWAYS felt invisible to women, that’s why his insecurity led to his twitter behavior.

Exactly what I say. This guy was a major geek in high school, got no looks from the ladies, so now he is in power, and whattya know? With power comes the ladies. Intoxicating to a nerd/geek.

Invisible to women as one ages? Maybe invisible to girls but no way invisible to women in DC or Northern Virginia. Of course a lot of them are totally nuts...

I heard that in the latest poll, Weiner came up short.
