I'd rather be honest and straightforward with people and let them know, "This is where I've been and who I am". And, yes, I am different, because we're all unique and special in our own way.

Yes, but.

What you're doing by baring your collective set of grievances against women is that you're naturally suspicious now and will immediate seek to find fault with any new woman. Not exactly the most promising way to advertise oneself.

The extraction process has worked very well for me in all areas of my life ... *I* chose not to listen to their warnings when it came to women I was involved with.

Panda,

"Reality" is manipulated. I know that's hard to understand, but it is. What you think is real, isn't. Your cheap shots at me are unnecessary.

No, Ron. Perception is reality. And when you come off as embittered towards women and joyless, when no woman of quality with any self-esteem is going to touch you with a ten-foot pole. That's reality.

Look, we really do want to help you here, buddy. But you need to understand how you're coming off here.

CPG,

This would have been true a few months and years ago. Not any longer.

Well, it's not a promising start. Tell you what. Let's wipe the slate clean. Try rewriting your original missive by NOT telling women what you think is collectively wrong with the gender. What's more, learn a trick from a veteran copywriter and sell the benefit of being with you. Make it about them, and not about you.

This is the problem with Internet-based communication. What I have shared here isn't how I view women today. Perhaps I should rewrite the thing so no one misinterprets things. I am not embittered toward women any longer. That's the point of the message.
