    I didn't say no because I didn't realise she was a gold digger until my money sorted her life out which made me redundant to her needs.

    When you are naive, you don't recognise them so quick, hence my thread to save guys 1000s of pounds.

    I'm not blaming all women just the golddiggers.
    Women have a tendency to want things from guys as this is how they are taught, and men have a tendency to give. Gold diggers take advantage of this order of things and fleece decent guys, guys that are just in it for the sex don't get fleeced, they see as value for money.

    Oh that is utter bull poo! "women have a tendency to want things from guy" oh you have is soooo wrong!

    I have NEVER been taught this! I have been taught to respect everyone regadless of sex, you obviously havnt! Im trying really hard not to bring other men into this, as i beilive you shouldnt streotype, you obviously do.

    You are a sexist. and men have a tendency to give- ive never heard so much c*** yes men give but your making them out as saints and all women !!!!!s. Sorry to sound crude but if you want value for money and sex...look in your local paper under "personals".

    I think you are trying to be antagonistic. You are definitely not reading my posts in the context of what was said before. If you think that women aren't brought up to expect and men to be providers then your not living on this planet. It is a crude way of putting it but if you want a more refined analysis then read my other posts before you lambast.

    so saying all women take... and all men give- no sir, you are not in the real world. i dont know where you are in the world, but it sounds like you must have been somewhere were they still beilive this. You got done over, and in my opinon, you deserved it, if you spoke to her like you speak on here she must have tried to get as much as possible and then leave-dont blame her, and as dmg said- you sound as boring as sin.


    edit:as a woman, i wasnt brought up like that, so you must know some horrid women but not all women are like that, and i find it offence that you beilive this.
    Im not sorry for being crude as you seem to want honesty so a girl from the paper is- as long as you pay her.

    Based on what? I dance, I keep fit, I play sports, photography, DIY, avid reader, debate, ski, swim, holiday, cook, educated, and a good lover I've been told:cool2:.

    You and rgay are delusional about the world. You can only see this argument through your one dimesional feminist mind. You are not even reading my posts to understand them in their proper context because if you did you would realise that your argument holds no ground.

    Men since the dawn of time have been seen as providers and women provided for. That is just a fact and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as each party does their bit.

    You're right, this has been the way since the dawn of time. Until fairly recently. But fortunately times change and many millions of women now provide for themselves and their loved ones.

    Your views are very outdated. They may reflect your upbringing but they certainly don't reflect reality.

    Why is it then that living in the UK i see women being provided for up and down the country. I don't see it the other way.
    Single women provide for themselves until they get married and or have children. Look around you.

    I'm confused. Men are there to provide for their women and this is what everyone expects (according to you). Again, according to you, women who expect this are gold diggers.

    It looks like the women can't win.

    Brilliantly said !

    ON the other hand..i dont see many men staying at home(so someone has to look after kiddes and have you seen childcare costs and the amount of tax lost if both earn) but when they do i wonder to provides for them.... THE WOMEN!

    IF you dont see it any other way you are very narrow minded, look around you.

    Your sexist and to be honest- i wont keep hoping for a girl, if i were you, i doubt it would happen.

    Another thing-having lots of hobbies dosnt always make you intresting as youve proved./
