It reminds me of a friend of my family who was bemoaning how horrible and manipulative women were and how his relationships always collapsed as a result. was just 19 at the time when he was talking to my parents about it. I could see the irriation on my mother’s face and knew she was keeping her opinion to herself but I had no such qualms. I said to him, “Maybe it’s because you’re 34 and you only date 18 – 22 year old strippers. Ya think that might be your problem? Maybe you should go for a different type of woman.” He flat out said that he wasn’t attracted to any other type of woman. My reply was one I’d heard my grandmother say many times: Hey, you wade in garbage, you’re gonna stink. To this day, he has been married and divorced 5 times – all too the same type of woman. You’d think he’d learn – but Noooo, he’s still hopefully operating under the same MO.

Women are just as culpable in dating the player/bad boy and claiming that there are no nice men in the world anymore.
