the whole point of my post is trying to understand why the two men who are "friends" cannot understand why i won't give them a chance at romance, just spewing hateful attacks about me being a gold-digger. just want to get it. and sure, they are making me feel guilty.

First they hope the convince you that its ok for your to take care of them. They no doubt don't want to let go of their meal ticket AND no way do they want to accept that they are dead beats.

well yes of course, but for me to have explained this CLEARLY, that it aint gonna happen-been there, done that, cost me dearly-lost almost everything i had! and i have made it clear that i neither have the energy or desire to work 3 jobs any more, that i am very satisfied with working one fulltime job and living life to its fullest, stopping to smell the roses for once in my life!!! and these deadbeats are trying to manipulate me! argh.

Yea, I can imagine. I will probably wear a wedding band while at work to avoid such problems.
In day to day life, if a person doesn't take NO for an answer then I get pretty rude but I should imagine the hospital frowns on that.
In the past I have replied that I was only into girls. BUT anymore thats enough to really inflame them which makes me vomit a little in my mouth.

well, if these men were in the hospital, they would be employed ha ha! so these men are ones i know outside the hospital, so i am free to be rude ha ha but i am not that way...
oh and by the way, wedding bands dont work-i tried it, attracts even more men-ya know, the ones thinking "ha! no strings attached! she's married so i can try to get her in bed, and she wont be stalking me, or wanting to marry me!"

No defender of animal rights, let's say, would go hunting, right?! Yeah, I'm aware I'll get a lot of grief for this one, probably from you included!

I'm not against drinking beer (or any other alcohol) per se at all. As a matter of fact, I drink myself. Yet, sitting around, watching sports, and drinking beer all day (as in 6-pack and more) is not an activity I'm attracted to. I've never had lazy bums in my life and coincidentally also nobody involved in the mentioned pastimes... Perhaps you should expand your horizons and sample different types of men. Again, since I believe you mentioned you like those activities yourself, you're likely to be around the same guys in the future...

Again, Set Your Standards! That includes friends. No one can make you feel guilty without your permission and these guys sound like losers. Set your standards higher and leave those two in your dust. By the way, if the hateful attacks don't stop feel free to call your local police for a man to man talk. You are the star of your own show (life)!

i understand what you are saying. i am a dog lover and do believe in animal rights to a degree, but yes i am an avid hunter/fisherwoman, go to rodeos,and have roped calves. just ain't a PETA person. there are alot of folks in the South and West and probably in all regions of the country who love dogs but also hunt/fish/rodeo.
i do love football. Texas college and NFL, and during football season, i schedule my life around football. so i dont care if a man is glued to the boob tube, as long as he has a job to pay for the beer he's drinking out of my icebox ha ha!
i wont give you grief-you have valid points....and i appreciate your feedback and observations. and i certainly cant dislike someone from Arizona! love your state but not as much as Texas . p.s. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is one of my heros

Hey, if that's your only problem with them, it should be pretty easy. I'm sure some of these cowboys work!
