As I can understand the bitterness some what, let it go. We have all been on both sides "good and bad", and we have to take responsibility for our actions if we chose to grow and learn. I have added value to those I have met as well I half to take responsibility when I have not. I have met a lot of females that have had given up there lives for their children and fewer men that truly can say the same. Every person deserves respect, and that person may not be that match for us, but did we add any value to them with our interaction. There are "gold diggers" on both sides of the fence, there not hard to see, don't make them your problem, there are more people out there that are looking for a real partner, with good intentions.
Take care be positive :)

LADYDI , your response that this guy that he must have been burned bad and in your outdated world = the prerequisite to be considered a gentleman would be that he pays for your meal and activities during your date with him . Let us face the facts it is all about money in this case it amounts to you and women like you not spending yours , so that leads to the labeling = like telling him to think positive = does that mean that he is negative . Did you ever consider that this guy might work hard and not have a lot of extra money , in that case he would be of little interest to you . Your remarks are so classic = one thing i know is that the only thing a liberal ever gave me was the bill after the dinner . The ladies that like and really care about me always offer to pay there half . I have plenty of money and at this age if i did not have any i would be just another old man with few choices , i have always understood this . I hope you will consider someones financial situation before you blast them , did you know that women are making as much money and more in some cases then men . in your words ugggg

And yet this is what women seem to go for. I feel like if I was a junkie, player or irresponsible liar I would have been married long ago.

WOW I thought I was the only one. I believe the same thing. If I was a abusive man, liar or someone who drinks more beer than water I would be married a long time ago. My co-workers always tell me how sick and tired they are with their girlfriends. I would give anything to be in their shoes. I don't do anything but work give my 10% to the church & yet I have no one.

I think you are a good catch if you are what you say you are. You would be surprised but there are a lot of honest, healthy, attractive, good women out there who don't want abusive men, liars, gold diggers, or drug users. It is great that you give 10% to the church. If you are not too young, come find me in CO.

While I think that all of these guys exist, I also think that the female counterparts are out there. By posting this, I think you're preaching to the choir. Those people who have encountered these men will be able to spot them and those that wont recognize them, wont recognize them. You're telling any guy that may have any of these qualities to keep them hidden. You're not recommending or suggesting how to change this behavior, only that they should cover it up if they want to find a woman who will love them.

Don't expect us men to provide you the world, unless you are going to anti up as far as contributing and returning the promise yourself and continue to do it day after day, not just after eight weeks. It's a two way street. We watch for this constantly. IF you have already opened your eyes, you will see we're living in a recession. Just because you have a job, don't tell us that you can pay for yourself, then have us pay for you ladies, then drop us once we stop paying, nobody likes this game. If you want the respect, attention and commitment, ladies better stop watching these asinine reality shows which obviously play a role model and influence on your actions. To pretend to be a princess and expect men to be at your beckon call will make men run as far away as possible even if you look like Marissa Miller. The fact of the matter is men will eventually see exactly who you are, especially when you contradict yourself. You may be a real human female, but we can tell the phonies just as good as you can. Playing ignorant wont work. Don't get your panties in a knot just because we can see the truth. Credibility goes to those who don't try to outsmart us. Those are the ones usually that win.

If you want to be an incognito gold digger it will eventually catch up with you and spread like wildfire. Stop with the high maintenance and game playing and the flaking will more and likely diminish.

Good luck.
