    The issue is “bait and switch”. Women use sexuality to get your attention but never follow through. This is known as being a “PT”. And that doesn’t stand for “physical therapist”

    Yes, and the more successful someone is at garnering it the more they depend on it, the worse off they’re going to be when that attention inevitably wanes.

      I'm the person who this posted is directed at. She posted a picture of herself all dolled up, pretended it was about her height when the picture didn't even show how tall she was. It was CLEARLY an attention grab. She's yet another married woman online who gets a little bout of insecurity and comes running to the internet to get cheap easy attention and validation about her looks for pathetic loser ass lonely males who are showered her with compliments. It's sad,.
