women think men expect more than they really do. All we really ask is basic cleanliness and attention to appearance. No man cares about your shoes or your nails.

But they keep making the same mistake, and going for the hot ones.
I say if a person gets bitter, it's best for them to quit. No reason to keep going out there and get hurt. That will only lead to more bitterness.

The only reason someone will keep going out and getting hurt is if they continue the same destructive pattern of choosing the wrong type of person.

I would think the better solution would be to take a good look at the choices one is making, and try something different. Do some reflection and self-examination to figure out what you're doing wrong that's yielding unsatisfactory results. Throwing in the towel is the easy way out, and won't get you what you want in the end. It'll only get you a life of bitter loneliness.

Why should they keep trying at all?, what's so bad about quitting? Picking a different type of person will not guarantee not getting hurt.

yea well in my experience they do and maybe some of the other women on here too who said they just gave up and said whatever, man....I agree with Ro (bitter or not) a woman should just hang it up if nothing is resulting.

If you are gonna quit then quit, do it and be done with it. If you keep harping about it then it tells me you don't really believe in your decision to quit.

Most people are unhappy at the mere prospect of living the rest of their lives alone, let alone actually living it. Humans are wired to need love and affection. Studies show that single guys are rate highest on the unhappiness meter. Married men rate happiest. Single women rate next happiest. Just above single guys on the misery meter are married women.

I care about the nails!

Biting them is a big pet-peeve of mine.
