Hmmm...I'm a bit confused ScorpGal5 - you say you "like to get to know someone before the romance begins...then I can be genuine." What if you were genuine to begin with and allowed the relationship to unfold in it's own time - even during the romance as this too is part of the relationship? To me, if I desire a relationship with a "real" person then it must begin with me being real at the onset of any relationship. I also feel that we will always be discovering someone as long as we are in a relationship with them...change is constant. The choice is whether we want to go the distance and is this relationship enhancing my life, my world and me.

just incase you're wondering...
Nothing has happened yet, we somehow got into a little fight, and it's my fault too, but me and my pride... you know how Leos can be! So i've been ignoring him and usually the more i ignore, the more he keeps coming to see me, but this time it's working the other way... I guess he figures "you want to ignore me, no problem! I'll ignore you too!" so THATS what's happening .... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... and i'm so sad, i wish you, Moloko were here next to me so that you could slap me around a little so that i'd get my act together! ....
The clock is ticking... and he will be gone from here soon... i feel pressured...
Hi Freebird,
I like to think I am always genuine... I was responding to Qbone's comment about pretending.
The conversation was about thinking we are 'in love' and who/what we are in love with. I just meant that I would never express that I was in love with someone early on in a relationship - that's just not realistic and doesn't fit with the idea of loving the real person that you can only get to know later. I would want to be more sure that I was in love with the real person - not just the idea of them - before I expressed any sentiments like that.
Hmm - not sure if that explains or not? I'm pretty sure we actually share similar views on this subject.

Well, let's look at this post in reverse.. what if a woman wrote this? My thought would be, how about you stop dating players?
If this were a woman, and SHE dated nothing but married men- or men with girlfriends... then say something lame like, "it's a shame, I was a nice girl at one point in time... I would think that she is delusional.... and trying to blame other people/society for her own bad behavior. I would say that she is jaded because of the people she chooses to date-- and if she wants something better, she needs to get a grip and stop screwing around with men who have girlfriends and/or wives. Also, if she thinks that "outing" a man to his perspective wife or girlfriend, doesn't aleviate her from her role as PART of the trashiness/scandal that comes as a result of the relationship.
Perhaps this is an honest account of someone's life- but I think it's scummy (both him and the ladies he dates).. not because he's a man-- just because seems more like he's part of problem. Why complain if he's only helping to perpetrate?

And can we please stop blaming the sad shape our culture is on women?

I don't Primegen.. or I are blaming the sad shape of our culture on women. My point.. to this post.. is that the things this guy is noticing does not excuse his own bad behavior. Just because he (the guy who posted this) notices that there are more women who are cheating- doesn't mean he should stop being a "nice guy".... and if he does, sounds like a weakness within himself. Being a better person starts with self... if he finds that a woman has a boyfriend- or a shady relationship with other men-- then don't date her.
