I am really curious as to why lots of men act really demanding when they date good, honest hard working women and while with them treat them like trash. Then in the end, they settle for ugly (so it isn't a matter of looks) no brains, and manipulative women that cuts them off from their family even. I have heard and seen over 6 cases like this.

Um… I can't think of anyone like that.. Then again, I don't hang around crazy people. Well, not that kind of crazy.

I feel this is the female version of "Why do women like jerks and reject nice guys?" and the answer is the same, people like a bit of challenge, they don't deliberately go out and look for jerky people, but in males and females doormat behavior and men/women who have no boundaries and want only to please us is a universal turn off. It comes across as needy and insecure, and that is not attractive in any sex. I was always the doormat girl when younger, and wondered why the men said they loved me but never fell IN love with me, and part of the answer is they really never even got to meet ME, but the version I showed them of who I thought they wanted. Lesson learned, having boundaries does not turn off a romantic partner, and if you have to keep extending your boundaries in order to keep someone, you never really had the person.

It is.

There was a thread recently where the topic of women having a compiled set of requirements was discussed at length. And if people try to be too strict about them (male or female), this is what happens.

Unless they're the kind of person who is in enough demand to have such stringent requirements, people have to bend on a few, or they won't be able to find anybody. At that point, they either choose to settle, or don't. Some have to settle more than others.

If a woman allows herself to be treated like crap, the question should be to her, and why her self esteem allows her to do that. I know those women you are talking about all have low self esteem, or else they would never allow it to happen. The fact you look at the new girlfriends as being below you....uglier, dumber, and manipulative, really expresses the self esteem issue.

As a guy who used to toe the line with women, and who saw the same outcome as those 6 cases, I can confidently say it has everything to do with your attitudes. Attitude/self esteem issues,can alter the way people perceive you. If you have those issues, it projects out, and although on the surface you seem great, the inner sadness/depression, makes you look more common. So a woman with a great attitude is much more appealing to those guys. That's why you see women you may call less attractive with the guys you desire....it's a drag to hang out with someone filled with anger, bitterness and hate.....a concept that women who spend too much time worrying about their vanity, lose sight of.

I'm getting a serious "why do good girls like bad boys/ignore good guys?" vibe.
