(PLEASE NOTE: I am not generalizing. All women are not the same) I don't get it, at times, even when you treat (some)women like gold, they take you for granted. It doesn't matter how much you bent backwards to please them (some), it's never enough. If you treat them like Queens and give them everything under the sun, they find faults in you. But if a good-for-nothing lazy bum without a job, who also threat them like crap, happen to be their mate, those they love forever and threat them like Kings. So what is it that women want, a decent man who will treat them great or a lazy bad boy who treats them like a door mat?. If you are toooooo much a pushover, a woman loses respect. She wants to look up to you, not thank you for serving her. Sorry but true. |

It doesnt seem like you are listening to anyone. This would bother me in a partner....regardless of how much stuff he bought me or whether or not he took me with him on vacation. I am not saying that I would not allow her to treat me like a King. It's a two-way street but I see no problem in treating someone the right way. I am not a sucker fresh out of a ghetto, therefore, if I am treating someone well and she takes it for granted, she is gone!. I guess I am "old school". |

I treat the women I date right. I take them on vacations on "my dime". They don't have to spend a penny when out with me. The only thing I ask is be treated with respect. When I see they are taking me for granted or not respecting me, for whatever reason, they get dumped. As easy as that. While it's nice that you like to spend money on the women you date, it isn't going to ensure they stay with you. Try just being yourself, rather than spending money on them. Buying gifts and paying for their vacations aren't necessarily going to make women want you more. I don't take them on vacations, nor do I buy them things for them to want me, I do it because they are already with me. Are you willing to tell me that if your boyfriend tells you he is going on vacation and he wants you to oome along, at his expense, that you will say no?. If you say yes you are lying. So what's a man to do?. Go on vacation and not invite the woman he has been dating?. If he doesn't, who will stop her from nagging, bitching, whining, crying and complaining that he didn't ask?. I would not expect him to pay. So no, don't tell me I'm lying. I've dated women of all walks of life (except prostitutes), of all socio-economic levels, and I am yet to find one that said "no" when I tried to pamper them. Perhaps you haven't dated a real man, someone who still values women and don't see them as objects. |

whats wrong with asking someone out on your first email.the way i see it ,if you see a pic and there is initial mutual attraction, then its time to meet and really get to communicate or at least speak on the phone.this typing back and forth seems to be for people to hide who they really are or at least to reveal themselves very slowly like its a game.it just seems like wasting a lot of time to me unless you have nothing better to do. Last time I checked I am a man and I would NOT respect a woman who asks me out after we exchanged just one email. There's a reason why people say that "a picture is worth a thousand words". There's no way that you will know a person by just looking at their picture. Hey, some even say that serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer was a handome guy. After exchanging emails for about a week and them talking on the phone for a while, THEN we can met. But that's just me. |

I don't care how amazing the other person makes you feel or how compatible they seem to be, all relationships should be approached with caution.... for your OWN sake. IF you open yourself up to these kind of people, they will take advantage. Why is life so complicated People are. Just like life is NOT too short. It's what we make of it. |

Notice I never said anything about men or women specifically? It's all human nature, we're all guilty of these things. |

Because people put too much stock into their emotions and forget to THINK with their damn brains. Or should I say "lust"?. |

IF you open yourself up to these kind of people, they will take advantage. I always say that I much rather take my time than to give someone false hope. When I met someone, the first thing I tell her is "let's have fun and lets allow time to dictate our future. Time will tell if we are meant to me together". I dated a girl that used to get mad at me because I didn't say "I love you" back after she told me. She just couldn't understand why was it that I didn't love her back. The relationship was fairly new and I don't throw my "I love you" just for the heck of it. I have to feel it, darn it. |

It seems to me that most people give out their love, trust and respect a little too prematurely... even more so when they are very lonely. I'm pretty sure you probably see warning signs and push them back into your subconscious because you'd rather have their company than be alone. Yes something about falling in love after the first week of knowing someone seems crazy too me. |

But there are many guys out there, like me, that don't mind being alone, every now and then. |

Love, trust and respect have to be mutual and earned. If you give all of these things blindly to someone with out making them earn it, why should they even try? The problem starts when they start taking it for granted. |

Are you willing to tell me that if your boyfriend tells you he is going on vacation and he wants you to oome along, at his expense, that you will say no?. I have my own money and I would pay my own way. I don't allow anyone to manipulate me because of money. There's no way that if you are in love with someone and that someone wants to take you on vacation you will say "no, I'll pay my own way", even if you have more money than God. |

Most people, not just women... don't know what they want. They bounce around looking for something that will 'complete' them. When we are able to find peace with ourselves, enjoy our own company and understand who we are, then we know what qualities in another person will bring us happiness. There's only one person I love more than I love myself: My mother. That said, I will NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVER love a woman more than I love myself. Perhaps the reason why I can move on so quickly. But I will always threat them great. |

You have a right to say NO to women. You have to stand up to yourself for your right to happiness. But don't forget to bend a little. L'homme est un roseau pensant. -Pascal (Man is a thinking reed) But I'll be darned it after treating someone like gold she is going to take me for granted. I won't let it happen. Even my brother says that I am LOCO for dumping the last woman I was with. For something he says is "minor". Well, it's not "minor" to me, therefore, bye bye and "hasta la vista, baby". |

Mike, Welcome to Mingle. I am sure you can find nice women in your area that are not looking for the bad boy. The reason I can say this for sure is because I live in your area! Batter up Mike...she has just thrown you an easy pitch!! I treat the women I date right. I take them on vacations on "my dime". They don't have to spend a penny when out with me. The only thing I ask is be treated with respect. When I see they are taking me for granted or not respecting me, for whatever reason, they get dumped. As easy as that. |
