Thought-provoking, especially the 'smell test'. I wholeheartedly agree with your last paragraph. This is why we have to be careful about our own feelings, or we could end up getting fleeced. I mean, speaking for myself personally, it is hard for me to hurt the woman who is devoted to me. We...

I'll say more. One thing that pisses many men off about dating single moms is that too many of the single moms are looking for someone to fill a role. Not all, but too many of them. The reality is that a man needs in a partner a woman (kids or no kids) who supports HIS mission, his goal in life...

Cool, we got a discussion going. I know penkitten's posts, and I've always respected her opinion. She was NOT saying I was a bad guy for not wanting to stay. I think that what she WAS saying is that I should just wish them happiness as I am free to pursue what I want. I can agree with that. As...

STR8UP, I now see what you were talking about. You were right! penkitten, it's not my intention to say anything bad about single parents nor step-parents. And it's not my intention to gloat about her life. She WAS really good to me when we were together, and I actually was very sad about our...

I recently heard that an ex-girlfriend of mine is married. It's the DETAILS that seem to corroborate what STR8UP said in a bunch of earlier posts about women marrying an easier to control guy after dating someone who is harder to pin down... --I was reluctant to commit the time she and I were...

I have been away from here for about 7 months...real life--both its good and its challenges--has been keeping me busy. Anyway, I just stuck my head back in. What the hell happened here? I used to learn so much from this place. Now it looks much different. Instead of the regulars here being...

I agree. The disrespect was not in the not being hungry, it is in ordering an entire dinnerr, knowing she wasn't going to eat it. How have you been, my friend? Nice to see you around, man!

Huh? Now why would it be a 'cost benefit' for me if the ex pays for his kids' education? They're his kids, not mine!

I did. Great girl. Would not do it again. See, as wonderful as she might be, the problem is (95% of the time) you're not going to be getting yourself into a win-win relationship. --If on the one hand, you and she commit to each other, you're going to be raising another man's kids. That's...

If you have to ASK whether you'd think it'd work for you or not, the answer is no.

What the hell? You like to take guys for free drinks when you know you're not available? That is NOT cool. There's a NAME for women like that. Thanks, mRuckus, for pointing that out. I missed that the first time.

I WILL give you points for honesty. Most women will NEVER admit that. This is also something that AFCs do not get. The simple truth is that a good man who can maturely handle a woman making so much money is pretty rare. EDIT: I will also say something else. Men want to feel needed by their...

Your instincts at the time were telling you that if you DID have sex with her, you could have a clingy psycho on your hands. I'd go with your instincts at the time.

Seriously? This girl sounds immature. She was telling you one thing, and yet within 12 hours, and her ex were probably having sex. I agree with the others that your last text message was weak.

This girl sounds familiar. Didn't you post about breaking up with her 'for good' a while (months to a year) ago?
