I'm surprised people are still replying to this sexist idiot. Any time someone brings up a good point it's just met with "sorry you don't understand the context of my posts." It's better to just leave this clown in his miserable misogynistic world.0

It is amazing that you think I'm sexist. Calling the role of the genders as they are makes you spit your dummy out. You sound like an unthinking feminist. If a man said it must be wrong. Open your mind
No, if i woman said it id think the same,0 -

It is just the natural order of things. Women in this country are voting with their feet to go back to their traditional roles. I didn't say that the media have been saying it.
Anyway, this argument has moved away from my original post which is about women who use "men provide for women" societal practise to fleece unsuspecting men. Like i said, men that do it for sex are not fleeced because they are counting the cost of sex with a prostitute and decide this is cheaper or less sleazy.
It is so simple.
How was he still the provider if your mother was caring for him?I'm surprised people are still replying to this sexist idiot.

If you are too thick to read and understand the posts and diatribe is all you are left with then who's the clown

Like I mentioned, you discover them when they start having hissy fits, usually over presents, that's when you pack their bags and put them in the front garden and save yourself 1000s!

He built up the business, she couldn't wait for him to get back to work to release her.

rgay how old are you?
And do you just read individual words and have a hissi fit over them or, do you actually read ALL the words in my posts?0 -
Oh dear. I started off feeling a bit sorry for you, OP, because you had obviously been badly hurt by someone. But now the bitterness at the unfairness (justified probably) of it all is making you talk nonsense.
What you call 'men providing for women' (ie wife stays home and looks after the kids) is simply the arrangement that suits most partnerships when men, on average, earn more, and childcare cost £500 a month. Usually they have both agreed - it's not women sponging off blokes.
The whole experience has left you very bitter it seems, but your attitude isn't going to help you meet someone else and many even put off some decent women who might otherwise be interested. You need to put it down to experience and move on.0 -

I have to respond to this one.
You definitely haven't read my posts in full. I have never said that married women or women in a normal relationships are sponging off men. Never said that. Please make a effort to read my posts if you want to add to this thread.
This thread is a warning about gold diggers, not decent women.0 -

Just the right age to be a money grabber...as im younger than you...
