For many of us it takes a few decades for us to mature and learn how to treat a lady.

That's a good point, and the same can be said of women. The problem from treating each other poorly is that some will be apprehensive to ever give the other side a chance again or be "all in" in a relationship again. They may get involved with someone again, but not to the extent they did before they were burned. It's unfortunate.

Hm. The few still good looking men over 40 I meet think like that. In a world where most people don't take care of their exterior anymore after reaching a certain age, those who put in the effort plus are genetically blessed can choose and pick and act like dicks and get away with it.

My father was divorced at 60, he had not taken care of himself, he was not 'genetically blessed' and he was a womanizer who acted like a dick all the time. Yet he got away with it and women loved him.

I can't imagine. Women in my circles would never choose a man like that, but all of them are independent and view a man as a "nicety," not a "necessity."

He was verbally abusive to women. He would travel to a new city and get involved with a church, going to all of their weekly functions. The church widows would fawn all over him, baking him meals and competing to be with him. In his 70s and 80s he really liked 'bagging' women in their 40s, 50s or 60s. He went through a number of marriages. Most of those wives quickly saw him as abusive and the marriages were short-lived.

One time while I was stationed overseas, I got a phone call from a woman I had never met. Apparently, she was my step-mother, and she had just realized that she had married an abusive womanizer. She begged me for help to get away from him. I felt bad for her, but I had no way to help her. I was serving in a combat zone overseas and I had never met her before. That marriage was short, I never did meet her.

He bragged to me a lot about how easy it was for him to do.

Submariner, I sincerely thank you for your service to our country. Respect and gratitude.


Your father sounds like mine--a role model of what not to look for in a man. He taught me a lot with no words said.

Unfortunately there are always women with low self-esteem who let themselves be used and manipulated. There have been numerous threads on CD over time with such women posters. Same can be said for men as well.
