100% here. Something obviously WAS wrong with me to have even put up with any of it.

For the vast majority of people, simply put, expectation didn’t meet reality. When that occurs mental problems can arise.

The only difference is that men are used to things being rather difficult their entire lives. Resources are earned one grueling step at a time. We eat what we kill mentality. Sometimes we go hungry and therefore men have had more realistic expectations. When things fail we simply adapt and overcome and learn from our mistakes.

The vast majority of women didn’t have to earn anything. From birth until age 30 or so everything was handed to them: looks/confidence, sex, academic or athletic pursuits, college, parties, vacations, social status, mommy and daddy’s money, cars and a easy path to a career. They EXPECT the easy path in life until one day they hit the wall, don’t get that promotion, chad dumps them, they get a DUI, pump out a kid etc… All of a sudden life become real and they lose their s~~~ in a major way.

Quell, just the other day I witnessed a 59 year-old, educated woman, loose her s~~~ over this exact point you made.

Her situation is this: She’s been looking for work for nearly a year, and has drained her savings to the point where she will loose her apartment this month. Unless, that is, a relative or friend fronts her enough money to get by.

Now, being out of work sucks, and there’s no shame in that because we’ve all been there at some point. But she’s turned down lots of job offers because “It wasn’t a good fit.” Well, f~~~ what’s a good fit when you’re on the verge of being homeless. You take whatever job you have to in order to stay afloat.

But she’s a woman, and so she’s used to men bailing her out of tight spots her entire life. So when a long-time male friend of hers refused to float her a loan, she was absolutely indignant that a man of his wealth would not give her some of his money. I tell you, she was totally f~~~ing indignant. She felt completely entitled to his money.

I was dumbstruck when I heard her telling me these things. We men talk about this kind of entitlement all the time here in the forums, but when you see it in action, well, it’s still a bit shocking.

I kept my mouth shut through our conversation and just nodded so I could get the hell away from her as fast as possible before she aimed her crazy in my direction.

I think I’ve avoided the real ‘crisis’ type situations. I can think of one that was mentally ill, but she wasn’t going to be in dire straits anytime soon.

For the most part, I never really hung around long enough for her to think I was reeled in. I mean, I wouldn’t be told of the impending crisis since it was not clear that I hang around to bail them out. That said, whenever I did hang around, with few exceptions, I was expected to improve her standard of living at the expense of my own. The exception I’m thinking of was when I was dating a professional woman right after my divorce….I was sort of given a grace period as far as I could tell.

Ok. Then do it.
