= Feynman was a huge womanizer during a certain period of his life
{c}
<Feynman> became a terrible <womanizer> after his first wife <Arline Greenbaum> died, involving himself with several married women, and leading to at least two <abortions> according to <Genius: Richard Feynman and Modern Physics by James Gleick (1994)>.
<Ciro Santilli> likes to think that he is quite liberal and not a strict follower of <Christian> morals, but this one shocked him slightly even. Feynman could be a <God>, but he could also be a <dick> sometimes.
One particular case that stuck to <Ciro Santilli>'s mind, partly because he is <Brazilian>, is when <Feynman> was in <Brazil>, he had a girlfriend called Clotilde that called him "Ricardinho", which means "Little Richard"; -inho is a <diminutive> suffix in <Portuguese (language)>, and also indicates affection. At some point he even promised to take her back to the <United States>, but didn't in the end, and instead came back and married his second wife in marriage that soon failed.
Richard's third and final wife, Gweneth Howarth, seemed a good match for him though. When they started <courting>, she made it very clear that Feynman should decide if he wanted her or not soon, because she had other options available and being actively tested. <Fight fire with fire>.
