It might be handy to keep in mind that "duped" can be multidemensional.
Someone who plays sad games is not above misrepresenting anything -
including gender. Men are not the problem. Women are not the problem.
Insecurity manifested in posturing and insincerity manifested in sarcasm
are just two examples of more plausible culprits. Keep the faith.

Ninguna Vacante.

Self justified Darwinistic linear logic is the antithesis of trancendent
enlightenment. It only works on the head of a pin with no angels around.

...said the spider to the fly.

I meant had.

Work is the only thing men have.

All girls think they work.
Most girls try.
Some girls work at looking like they try.
A few just look like working girls.
Realized potential - ironically apprapo.

How do you guys do it? I mean pay for Dr. consultation or treatment of
ANY kind. I've gotten so low now that I can't imagine EVER getting any
better. I've lost almost everything many times and recovered only with
superhuman effort and great sacrifice of irreplaceable resource. I
really don't think I can make it this time. I don't use drugs or drink.
I am smart, creative, have a professional demeanor, huge variety of
experience, a masters degree, am honest, fit, and easy on the eyes. WHY
THE HELL WON'T ANYONE HIRE ME. Government entities don't help. Family?
Now thats a Neitchean tragedy. It's absolutely absurd that someone with
my level of tenacity should be absolutely (and seemingly irrevocably)
broke, alone, and lost. Someone please say something that might help me
find a reason to want to take another breath.

Thanks for your encouragement. I'm optomistic about the possibilities
for good friendships. I'm gonna turn in now.
Sweet dreams, MES

Thanks, Nice to be here. BTW I've read some nice posts of yours.

good times ahead. MES

I'm new and am looking forward to some more of the good vibes I've read
here. I don't type so fast, so please be patient with me. Thanks and
Peace, Mark

The following comments are gender interchangable.
The theives don't care weather they get caught or not -
it's the game they crave.
The whores don't care weather they've been caught or not - it's the
self legitimacy that they crave.
The precious few who are objectively wise are waiting for the theives
and whores to eliminate each other; hopefully allowing us all to pusue
more pertinetly trancendent ontologies.
Put that in your narrow minded, uneducated, uncouth, sanctimonious,
selfrighteous, socialogicaly destructive,
spiritualy dereft crack pipe and smoke it.
