A fair weather friend defined. A friend who is only a friend when circumstances are pleasant or profitable. At the first sign of trouble, these capricious, disloyal friends will drop their relationship with you.

**I have several male friends and I can't understand why a man would allow a woman to come into their lives and straight up USE them. No one knows this at first but to hear men whine about how they miss this chick/wife/relationship and the long and short of the story is........
Guy meets girl. Girl manipulates and plays guy for her own advantages. Guy showers girl with gifts/money/bill pay. Guy looses job or suffers temporary financial setback. Girl is ghost and in the wind ASAP. Guy regains fortune and works to build money to get back girl. Now a portion of my male friends leave the girl alone and never go back because they realize what they provided to her and how she didn't stick by their side when times were rough temporarily. However, the majority of guys will get played like this again and again for women who don't love them but love what they can do for them only. It's the classic scenario from that movie with Common and Queen Latifah.........Just Wright.

Someone please explain how you can continue to love and pursue someone who has shown they basically don't give a d*mn about you other than the money you give.

Why do you care? Also, not all women are like that. Are you?

I care because I'm a decent person and this thinking and attitude seems to be so accepted in the dating world. It's confusing to me. The other reason I care is because I can sometimes be an idealist. I also have mostly male friends and sometimes they ask me for advise or whine about "lost love" and I'm like.....for real. You fell for this crap. OMG

The bolded is what I consider one of the top problems in relationships today, not from one gender or the other, but from both pretty equally. The difference lies in the 'what they can do for them'. It's different for women than for men, neither very flattering to the opposite sex. Of course, it's always the opposite sex whose deeds are less acceptable, isn't it?
