Another rambling post filled with attempts at insults and nothing about the women. What a surprise!

Ah, here's the next defense for gold-diggers. First it was "barely any women are gold-diggers." Then it was "if someone is a gold-digger, then it's actually your fault." Now, it's "gold-digging is passive, so there's actually no blame on the woman." Keep it coming, guys! This is fantastic stuff.

Hmmm ....interesting! LOL. By the way, if you don't know what is so interesting, try reading brocco's posts to me about gold-diggers.

Oh, for f's sake. Now you're just being obtuse. This isn't about blame. There are jerks out there in all stripes. Some of the stripes are about money. If you don't want to deal with a gold digger then don't give her what she wants.

Absolutely. That's a very reasonable statement. And it's not about blame, but when men vocalize what they don't like or are trying to avoid, then women DO blame them. If they were just like you and said "OK, well, that's fine," we wouldn't have this thread.

All over this forum there are guys are worried about gold diggers and IMO, quite frankly, it translates that they simply don't want to spend their money on anyone but themselves, and if they were to spend on another, they expect something out of it.

Nobody could ever get that anywhere else!
I actually agree with Liberty on this one.

There are many out there who tear down women and label them as gold diggers or "whores/hos" and say that these women are trading in their vagina for money. I think it is pretty safe to assume that these are the same people who call wives glorified prostitutes. There is no winning with these people.

And while we are on the notion that gold diggers are a disgrace to womankind. I'd like to point out that not all gold-diggers are female. Also, many of the women being labeled as gold diggers are women who come from means and who want partners who also come from means. Is that also a disgrace or is this form of gold digging deemed acceptable?

In this day and age, more women (and men) are becoming smart about how they dig their gold, how they save it and how they invest it.

O.K fine. Yes, the problem is that ALL WOMEN are gold-diggers and you are a VICTIM. Now what? You're still alone but I guess it makes you feel better because the fault lies with ALL the women on planet Earth and not you.

I'm sure there is zero possiblity that there could possibly be something about you that is off-putting to the opposite sex despite the fact that junkies...convicted felons...dead-beat dads...one-legged ugly a&& dudes..women beaters etc manage to find a woman.

really? i said people of both genders use other people. there it is right there. you can't blame your own shortcomings on an entire gender, which i emphasized by describing my own experiences. well i guess you can if you just want to troll or complain on the internet :/ but in real life it won't get you very far.

Going to such lengths to quote the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.
