What is wrong with so many men

[AnxiousGurl]

Ok so I was bored and I came across craigslist's amusing section called "Missed encounters" I think its funny to read some of the posts. You see a ton of random ones, like for example "I saw you today at Walmart, you were in the meat section, i'd like to chat sometime." I mean COME ON! you have to admit its funny.

So then I came across this post titled "Beauty at bus stop" Heres the post

This is a long shot but here goes... I see you walking to a bus stop most mornings with your kids and you sometimes have a little dog with you. You look great in those snug sweats and I'd love to get to know you better (after the kids have gone off to school). I believe you're married and so am I but I'm willing to take a chance. Discretion is paramount. If interested, tie a bandana around your dog's neck and I will take it from there.
If you think you know who this is and are not interested, please don't be offended, I mean no disrespect to you, it's just that I'm very attracted to you and I'm pretty bored at home like alot of other "happily" married people out there .
I look forward to your signal.


I hope his wife catches him. what a scumbag. How many more men out there are like him. Seriously it made me so mad just reading it and I dont even know this guy. It sickens me

Before the pity party starts about men, might I mention in western cultures women cheat as much or more than men?  Let alone the emotional affairs..

Also when it comes to relationships women are more likely to sacrifice their kids to a bad relationship or affair.  So lets be honest men are more blatantly idiots about these things when it does happens because it massages their ego that other women might find them desireable.

WOmen are less obvious about these things because they have affairs more for the simulation that they are more special and if light was thrown on their relationship it would appear just as tAwdry. LOL

It is all rather pathetic if you think about it..  Either way families are destroyed for the sake of ego.

Not all men are like that!!  he is a scumbag and it gives us good guys a bad rap.  I would no more cheat on my wife (if I had one) then to cut my own head off.  Affairs have become endemic in our society.  I can't tell you how many posts from both guys and girls that talk about cheating and affairs and it really makes me sick!
What ever happened to for better or worse, till death do us part.  I never saw a vow that said until something better comes along!
Dispicable!!

These ads are so funny, our local radio station 102.1 reads some of them off every week.

Just curious, have you ever been married? I am not in any way, shape or for condoning adultery, but your statement "I would no more cheat on my wife (if I had one) then to cut my own head off." leads me to believe that you have never been married.

I love Craig's list.  Especially the personals.  

I totally agree - the men there are completely clueless.  Completely.  The reason they are on Craigs list desperately trying to find a woman is they have not the first clue how to do it.   I mean please,  pictures of their genitals?  Offers for some girl (and they are picky about appearance) to come to their house,  have sex,  and then please leave?  ??  You see these guys post several things in a row and then they finally ask in desperation  "are there any women even ON this site"?   Haha.

It would be hilarious if that poor woman with the kids and dog just - coincidentally - put a bandana on her dog.  Haha.  Zany antics would ensue.

I take no offence at this post!!!  It's funny.  There are scumbags out there, for sure, no doubt a few of my colleagues and casual friends are (including some of the women I know).

Yes, there are some men who can be faithful - my wife and I met almost 17 years ago at university and I have NEVER entertained the thought of cheating on her, and NEVER would.  Unfortunately the reverse doesn't seem to be true, but that's a whole other story...

How many married (or in a long-term relationship) men would refuse the opportunity if it was handed to them on a plate, no strings attached, and with a guarantee they would not get caught?  Some, but probably a minority.  For me, the sex would be tempting, but I know I could never live with the guilt afterwards.

But to go out actively looking for discrete affairs, that is real scumbag behaviour.
