your friends are most certainly not fine upstanding individuals. They have cheating hearts and they will never find an honest man because they themselves are cheaters. They would not even believe it if they did have an honest man because they are cheaters.
They may be what I call fine "bowling buddies" but they are not people that anyone can depend on, hence they are losers in the area of real relationships.
This has been an interesting thread. I believe that there are good men and women out there. There are a lot of valueless people out there too. Nice people without any values. People that cannot stand up to trials because there is no grounding in their life. Nice people ... when circumstances are going their way. Quitters when things are not going their way.

I cannot believe that anyone would run away from a relationship as soon as they start to actually have feeling for the person. If I understood Pukin dog correctly, he wants to have sex with women and as soon as he actually feels emotionally attracted to that woman he runs?
P.D. your problem is not fickle women. I think you have other problems that you readily blame on cheating women. I know many many good women (most of them are married). I hope to get married again to one of them.

I loved your passage from C.S. Lewis about cutting yourself off from relationships. The idea is that only perfect relationships can be found in heaven, but "hurtless" ones are destined to be made in hell.
I was very sorry to hear you followup and say that you are not going to purue any relationships yourself.
