So will you do as the bitchy girls do then, and punish innocents for the actions of a select few, simply because you believe attacking first will keep you from getting hurt by what someone "might" do? No, its easy to become cynical and adopt an "go on the offensive, preempt all possible attacks" policy, but that can hurt innocent people as well as yourself. You'll just become the sort of person you are complaining about.

Life is hard and people will hurt you, gender, race, religion, sexuality, the group doesn't matter and you should never take it as a group thing as the title of this thread suggests. "Why do women..." Groups us all in the same basket when the question should be "why do some people..." You need to learn to take each person as an individual, if one woman hurts you or a friend, thats on HER, not the rest of us. Give people the benefit of the doubt, man up, and face the world unafraid.

I sympathize with you, I really do, but don't use your pain to justify being unkind to any woman just in case shes one of the ones who might use you, because that isn't right, and you may miss out because of it.

As for what type of woman I am, just ask my husband.
