Search Results: Do you go out every Saturday night

Had a boyhood friend, that I 'grew up" with that was the biggest money grubbing SOB you could ever imagine, and took every opportunity to make certain that 'some one else' paid for 'gas, or anything else involved in a 'night out", including any 'gaming' machine costs, pool table cost etc.

We had a mutual 'acquaintance' whose family was an 'heir' to the Saalfield Publishing Company, fortune, in Akron, Ohio, in that he got a monthly check from the estate of the Saalfield family fortune, and my 'friend' knew that and would go out on a Friday or Saturday night, drinking and partying on 'our friend's" money, and never offered to pay a dime.

I wised up to this 'sponge', quickly, and learned to see that he paid his SHARE of whatever we spent on a 'night out' with the 'boys', but it seems the other guy was somewhat lonely, and had few friends and allowed this unscrupulous jerk to 'leach' off of him.

On the flip side, I had a work associate here in California, that was from Pakistan, and he was the absolute antithesis of my 'sponge' boyhood friend, and this man refused to let me pay when we went out to lunch, during our work time.

Have you ever had a so-called-sponge "friend' like I describe above, and if so how did you handle it? Did you just shut him off as a "party person" or just 'dump; him as a friend, or did you find a way to make him pay up when he/she should have?

From my question which addresses a recent article in which women complains they just aren't enough single guys for them.


Link:Not enough single men for single women

In the above article, many women do not want to date guys who did not have a college degree basically writing them off as potential mates. With more girl's graduating college than men, many women now have a shortage of guys who they would actually choose to go out with. It may seem now that if men aren't the total package women just don't want them. i. e. Tall, RICH, Handsome and well educated.

Now a recent article comes up where Jennifer Lawerence:



Going on a date with JL:



"“No one ever asks me out,” she said. “I am lonely every Saturday night. Guys are so mean to me. I know where it’s coming from, I know they’re trying to establish dominance, but it hurts my feelings. I’m just a girl who wants you to be nice to me. I am straight as an arrow. I feel like I need to meet a guy, with all due respect, who has been living in Baghdad for five years who has no idea who I am.”

This leads me to my question: Do women these days who complain about being single, or guys not approaching them just voluntarily place themselves in that situation because they don't acknowledge the advances of men who aren't up to their standards.


It seems modern day women would rather place themselves in a state of victimhood than try to change themselves and lower their ridiculous standards for men.
