Okay, I admit I exaggerated that a bit, the blogger actually quoted 99% of woman. I would have responded to him but I guess he is so positive of these figures that he wants to 'approve' or 'disapprove' responses first.

But I have responses - BELIEVE ME I have responses. And guess what? you have the right to disagree because I believe that blogging is an expression of opinion, not just mine, but all of ours. So there is no blocking here, folks.

But let's get on with the story.

First off, let me say that I would probably not be considered a good source to answer some of these comments by the man because this is the only site I have ever been on and I have only met one person from this site in person. So obviously our experience level is quite different. And while this experience was beyond horrific, I would not begin to think that there are a lot of men out there like him. (I sure hope not anyway).

In his case, I believe he mentions several sites over several years and "all the woman or at least 99% of them are after his money, are players etc. Okay Mr. WaaWaa Moneyman, lets take a some peeks into your comments:

If you keep having the same experience with women over and over, have you ever considered taking a look at the kind of women you chose to go out with? Or better yet, perhaps it is time to take a look into yourself? Sometimes, we have to take responsibilty for our own decisions and actions

So you take these women out for a really expensive meal (yes folks, he'll even share how much the meals costs with you) and you can't get so much as a kiss goodnight? Gee, what should they do? Just do you in the parking lot?

Maybe talking about how much money you spent on women is not the best conversation. And while I don't know for sure, can't you just see Mr WaaWaa money bags whining to the present date how much he spent on the last date? I have a solution for you. If you don't want people to care and/or be impressed about your money, then quit throwing it around.

Maybe a first date could be better spent in a nice quiet cafe over coffee and a walk in the park/by lake (in good weather).... And what happened to taking time to get to know someone first? If fancy dinners aren't working, try simple. Do you want woman who are impressed with where you take them or who they are with? Personally AS A WOMAN I prefer the latter.

Now in one sentence it is about how much he spents on women and in the next women should go dutch. Hey, what you do is up to you, but rather than complain about it after the fact, maybe you should suggest that to women up front.

I can't speak for others on this but I think many would be of the opinion that if you go out as friends dutch is fine, whoever is the one asking for the date kind of takes on the paying issue unless it is discussed differently before hand is a fair solution. But the irony of this is he talks about how much money he has, how good he treats women and then he is upset because they did not split the meal. Sorry bud, I didn't chose the fancy restaurant - I chose the cafe, so this one is on you!!!

I keep getting interuppted and losing my train of thought. but I am trying to remember everything that went through my mind on reading this.

All women are after money and someone to take care of them. Did you know Mr. WaaWaa that a majority of women are more touched when a man stops on the side of a road to pick wild flowers for then than when a man buys them roses. Sorry I didn't do your level of investigative reporting, I just asked woman and have read surveys over the years.

As for someone to take care of them? PLEASE I raised three children on my own without a man, without child support or assistance. I purchased my own vehicles, bought my own home and have taken care of myself and my family since my children were babies. Why would I need YOU or anyone else to take care of me now? And you know what Mr. WaaWaa, there are a lot of women out there who have accomplished as much and/or more than I and I think I can speak for all of them when I say we are DA*N PROUD OF WHAT WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

What do women really want? Well being DIFFERENT because we are WOMEN and not WOMAN, I can't speak for everyone, nor would I want to. But I think from talking to them on this site and in my experiences that ultimately we are looking for someone to share a life with. Not someone to take advantage of us or someone to take advantage of -

I like to believe that most of us at least, want the same thing. To have someone to be our best friend and maybe, even build a life together. We want honesty, committment, to be a shoulder at times and to have one at others. Most of us are willing and want to take the time to get to know someone because no relationship that will last is built on desperation, fancy dinners and unrealistic expectations. Something worth having is worth taking the time to discover. To do any less is a great injustice to both of you.

And finally, Mr. WaaWaa moneybags, remember there are a few saying about your situation. But ultimately, they all boil down to the same thing. If the only thing that stays the same in these situations are you - then that is where the need for change probably lies. Take a deep and honest look within yourself and you may just find who and what you are looking for.
