Then there are those of us men who have rescued women one to many times just to see them ride off into the sunset with a thug or creep. And when that relationship inevitably goes into the dumps, who do they call? Yup, us men who saved them before. Of course, at that point, they’re such a wreck that they bring nothing to the table but pain and dependency.

There are some women who are excited by "bad boys", and who keep regular guys hanging in case they need anything. They are the flip side of the men who are "only interested in a quick lay" -- the women who string "nice" guys along.

I gave up on playing the good guy, rescuer, white knight, etc years ago. All I ever got was burned and taken advantage of.
