Any idea on when D/FW will get its allocation of women like that? Most of em around here either require their dates to pass a credit pre-qualification or have a psychiatric degree to be able to handle their numerous mental disorders.

I know that a lot of women are gold-diggers, but not all are. I've dated men who were struggling financially, as well as men who were obese or physically unattractive, simply because I felt that they were good people inside, where it counted. My friends have done the same, so I know I'm not the only woman who looks at men as people rather than just 'walking wallets' or eye-candy.

Turning things around a bit, there are also a lot of men who will only date 'hotties' ... who wouldn't give merely average-looking women like myself the time of day. In other words, it works both ways: there are shallow men and shallow women.

The bottom line is that unfortunately (for both men & women) we have to sift through a lot of chaff to find the grain. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ;-)

I wish there were more women like you in this area :(

I would never judge a book by its cover. If she is a good person then I'll take her.

I've seen several guys like that. I think I've only had one friend that I'd characterize as a "gold digger". She and another friend (guy) were shopping to put together a dinner for the two of them. He said she kept throwing extra stuff in, "oh I'm out of shampoo, oh I need some of this and that and the other" all of which he was expected to pay for. lol, things really cooled off between them after that.

I missed having you here :)

You're preaching to the choir here, ma'am.

The problem is that a lot of the chaff from other areas seems to be blowing into Dallas recently.
