This gem of a guy's story was on Craigslist? He has a nerve to judge women, he's certainly not a man of upstanding morality and decency! I keep telling young women, it's OK to say NO, if he leaves because you won't sleep with him, then he wasn't worth having.
The old saying;" Why buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free." applies.
My husband and I are celebrating our 29. anniversary this year.
Guys like that get my blood boiling. Stupid woman!
Sorry Robert, it's my feminist side popping out. Actually, more "defender of women" side.

I don't disagree with you. I should have put "gem" in quotes to indicate the sarcastic nature of the headline. Yes, this guy is pathetic. But if you take his write-up at face value, you can't let the manipulative, deceitful woman off the hook either. Both are pathetic. Where once there may have been love in each of their hearts, there is now just guile and deception. A sad state of affairs.

Oh, I'm not letting her of the hook. What she did was wrong and stupid. I wish more women would respect themselves more and not be so easy. The way the guy told the story, he never was serious about the relationship, for him it was about the s.e.x. ,he should have been up front, that he wasn't interested in anything more. If she agrees to that and wants that kind of relationship, at least he wouldn't be stringing her along, just so he can get laid.

I fear that the modern version of dating consists of women expecting nothing more from a relationship than sex because they've encountered too many men who clearly want nothing more than that.

In my mind, it really comes down to fear of putting your heart out there and risking that it might get stomped on.

Few seem willing to do that, few seem willing to trust, so we end up with meaningless, superficial relationships. I'll admit that this is one of the reasons I've been overly cautious about "putting myself out there" again.
