A man was cheating on his girlfriend and went off on holiday with the new woman. Whilst he was away she let herself into his house, turned on all the taps and then sprinkled cress seed throughout the house on the carpets. When he returned the cress had sprouted throughout the entire house.

That's not stupid, that's a stroke of pure genius!!

The judgement, arrogance, assumption and lack of realistic expectations and empathy in the quoted post bothers me.

I am not a large, curvy woman posting here asking why no one wants to date me.

I'm not complaining; the type of man I want to be my partner will be attracted to me.

When you see a woman with a child is it you first reaction that she is in a relationship?

I didnt read one post that stated a lack of belief.... disagreeing with some ancient holy book isnt shunning religion

So what, you want a woman that will cook, clean, and take care of your every wim while you go out and bring home the bacon. ?

Well good luck to you sweetie, cause its 2006 and times have changed.

To me 'true love' can be expressed in many other ways.

Thats pretty harsh, don't you think?

I happen to think I look quite "femanine" with my hair cut short.

Don't settle for anything less that you deserve.

I think Goddard is Dr. Phil

seems to me like WE win again

I have to say Im NO BODY"S left overs.

No, they are idiots for acting like a woman is gonna heap HER responsibility on them just because they are dating.

You think so? I was called a coward, a failure, a slut (...). I was even advised by many people to give him another chance because "Men just do that sometimes".

Actually, I think he's calling them cowards because they're letting fear and misconceptions run their life instead of common sense. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry.

You are the one who is running from her problem and in doing it you are the coward by not addressing it and trying to solve.

It simply means you don't have the capacity to understand it.

I lived two years with a woman who threw things at me, who broke things, who went crazy anytime I would leave the house, who held a knife to my thoat, But I stayed till she cheated and then it wasn't my fight anymore.

You are right to a point with this but at the same time you are wrong, it depends on a)if the bio-father is payig support, and b) how long you have taken care of this child money wise. Ant this I know cause it happened to me as well.

I don't know if being a nun counts as a profession or not but in my book there is nothing hotter than a really hot nun

Who's saying that?

We take offense to being called "damaged goods" like we're something you can pick up off the shelf and put back because we're somehow not good enough.

I've never asked any man I've dated to cope or else. But his reaction to things that have happened is a good indicator of the type of man he is.

I don't know ONE abused woman with this attitude. Not one.

"Get over it"

It's just sad though that alot of good women are finding it hard, and these are the ones that have a preference of men closer to their age, to find someone they could have a good and happy relationship with. Ya know??

I just never realized it would be this hard.

I believe infidelity and lack of emotional support are the top reasons for divorce.

Divorce is very hard on a woman, she usually winds up having to be the primary caretaker of the children and her lifestyle is cut dramatically. Plus I just read an article on AOL about how divorced women have a huge depression rate.

Do you know how many GOOD women that I know that have played by the rules, loved their husbands, dedicated their lives to raising their children and provided a good homes for their family only to be dumped later on with no remorse, because they were perceived as now being "old, tired, used up and broken down".

I just find it humorous that you would take offense to someone criticizing your choices, when every post you write is critical and judgemental. I have seen you criticize fat women, older women, divorced women, single mothers, Western women and now I think you were even criticizing the Latinas of NYC on another post.

Wow, that was an awfully long post for someone that doesn't give a shit what others think.
