I met my ex on a dating app in 2020. I was ready to settle down, and he seemed to be too, so things got serious quickly. We bought a dog and picked out an engagement ring.
Then, it all fell apart when I learned he had three other girlfriends, all of whom thought they were exclusive with him.
I have a doctoral degree in public health, specializing in social and behavioral sciences. I'm a smart person, so I blamed myself for missing the signs — though even in retrospect, I couldn't see any.
Almost immediately, I realized there were only a few other people who could understand what I was going through: My ex's other girlfriends.
First, I told the three other women my ex had been seeing at the same time as me. All were very shocked, and none of them knew that he had been cheating on them. When I found out he'd cheated on previous partners, I messaged them, too. All in all, I got in touch with about 130 women.
All of the girlfriends were kind, compassionate, and smart. Most were Asian, like me, and professionals: lawyers, engineers, and artists.

Well Samantha, look at the bright side. I think you might have found a new career... detective! I mean, that’s impressive!
She's not too smart by any and all metrics if she doesn't know this.
One can be smart and still be betrayed. He chose well-educated, professional women and quite a few of them. He’s a master at his game, sadly for them.
” All in all, I got in touch with about 130 women.”
You maybe better get in touch with a gynecologist, you might have gotten a Parting Gift from romeo.
“Most were professionals: lawyers, engineers, and artists
Probably part of the problem.”
Most of the problem. They have worked hard and deserve what they want. Except for the “artists”, LOL. Most are pushing 30 and are now competing with 22 to 25-year-olds who have 5-8 more years of better fertility and hotter bodies. Good luck with that. It’s time to “settle” and make two people miserable. Maybe the anti-depressants will help.
Who’s gonna tell her?
“I was ready to settle down,“
They thought it because they wanted or needed to think it. I’ll bet more than one person in their life was skeptical of ol’ Chad.
If you're a guy and one of these women comes along, not only does she think she's settling for you, she's also not going to get to that point until she's probably well into her 30s and all her youth is gone. Is this really what you want?....to be with a jaded woman who doesn't really want to be with you and therefore will have no qualms about dumping you?
No wonder so few men are interested in these kinds of women. They're really not offering much.
You're 💯 right. The American society as it is in 2024 is not sustainable. Think of it like the Weimar Republic in the 1920s.
So what will happen to America in 10 years from now? If I have to guess, we'll become more like Estados Unidos so we'll become much more Hispanic. I think that's an improvement. Other possibility. We convert to Islam.
130! Wow! Add all the people those 130 banged over the years and that last chick pretty much slept with all of them. Forget a bus you’d need a train to transport them to the reunion.
“He’s a master at his game,”
I wouldn’t call him a master. It isn’t hard for a guy who is attractive, over 6 foot tall, and wealthy. The sad part is all these women throwing themselves at him are not doing him, or themselves any long-term favors.
Who woulda thunk?
Other than having multiple girlfriends increases the likelihood the man will end up sticking his dick into crazy at least once.
[When the 80% decide to settle, they are never really happy with their partner. That is why many men are walking away.]
Yes
and yes
[to be with a jaded woman who doesn’t really want to be with you and therefore will have no qualms about dumping you?]
That’s a very true statement.
There have been movies about this, based on real situations. In the end, the women become unified and the revenge is sweet.
Disillusionment and lousy marriages. Rots a Ruck.
So many pajama boys out there….real men have there pick I suppose
So many pajama boys out there….real men have THEIR pick I suppose
Ego and vanity are apparently independent factors separate from intelligence.
