Awwwwww...Horsey....You quenched your thirst, didn't you?!?
I appreciate your response. Thanks.

I have a brother who, when he "used to" attend to a woman of prospective interest, he'd shower them with an over abundance of ....everything. On the first date, instead of a rose, he'd take a dozen. On the second or third date, instead of a charming bracelet or necklace, he'd buy her a huge diamond ring, although stating to her that is a token of his appreciation. He'd be at her beacon call, sometimes scaring her off. And those he hadn't scared off, saw him as an easy target and used him for everything they could get out of him.

Although I tried many times to teach him a more appropriate technique of approach, (with hopes he'd listen so he wouldn't eventually burn out from repeated heartbreaks), it was to no avail. He did, in fact burn out. But harbors much resentment toward women in general. He believes that women are merely out for the take and that's that.

It saddens me that men, such as my brother, who are the sweetest there can be, are the ones who are "the nice guys who finish last". And who seem to also be the one's who take up with women who see those sweet hearts as a mere easy score for goods. Shame on them.

(It's women like that who give women like me a bad rap...HONEST.....lol).
