The least these women could do is get some kind of a commitment before ruining their lives, but most of them don't even think about that until after they're saddled with a bunch of drama. Too late.
I disagree. A commitment doesn't always keep a guy around. What about divorce and cheating? If the only reason a guy is marrying you is to get the goods, then he'll still be done with you when he becomes bored, married or not married!

No, we, as in all women, are perfectly capable adults who can take care of ourselves. We don't live in the 12th century anymore.

You're right a commitment doesn't guarantee anything. But look at the options: Demand some level of seriousness or run around like a basket case when it all falls apart because I didn't bother to expect anything from the jump (which is what a lot of these women end up doing)? I take the first option, at least I can say I had a plan even if he does blow it all to hell. LOL.

See were not in the 12th century. Let them take care of you buy you things take you places but you let them know your the boss. Pretty soon you have everything you want and you wont have to lift a finger.

I don't play those games. I like a partnership. I am an equal. I don't need a man to buy me stuff, I can buy my own.

If you are indicative of how many women think then no wonder guys hate the females of our species.

When the sh*t hits the fan, you're gonna wish you had done more for your own life. Very unwise depending on men for your general well being. Do for yourself.

+1 to all the ladies who posted in the last few pages. Thanks for speaking out against that outdated line of thinking about gender roles.

If we have to tell you, then it's futile.
Do you think that a partner-less, childless life is the way to go?

If you can find the occasional other for sex, maybe childless and partner less may be the way I go?

You grossly overestimate your value.

Why would I ( or any other man) choose someone who seems to think I have to pay for everything all the time and seems to think she can dictate what I can do in my free time.

What are you offering that would make a man willingly particpate in such an arrangement? Looks and sex aren't going to cut it. We can find that easily with reasonable women who aren't so self centered.

Even if you somehow managed to find a "sugar daddy" who will pay your way, he would laugh in your face if you tried telling him what he could and couldn't do....
