Blimey Rosemary. I shall put that down to you being a very nice, trusting person.

Nice trusting women are often described as divorcees.

A bit more cautious, eh?

An amusing little tale. My daughter had a friend who would immediately start making a play for any guy she fancied. So, being a tad devious, she would select the guy at a venue she found the most loathsome, mention him to her friend and then watch this girl throw herself at some poisonous little turd.

All good clean fun, eh?

Not necessarily. Some men are quite capable of monogamy. You don't appear to be one by your reply

You forget that I see him every day and have to deal with his problems so I know that no-one would be so daft as to try to take him on.:

You are coming over a bit anti-women now.

And here's a question for the men:-

Just how many of you do you think are so alluring that no woman could be trusted around you?

OK then, the women can answer as well. My guess is - precious few.

Actually the question was carefully expressed as not being about the man. It said

"Would you trust another woman near your partner? Not would you trust your partner, would you trust another woman?"

Again, not really the question. The question was, would you trust other women getting friendly with your partner?

I'm very anti a certain category of women. I'd have thought that any 'decent' woman would have been too.

Also of course, put on a wedding ring, fill your wallet with money, and you will be very alluring indeed to a certain category.

If you live in Italy the answer is not "precious few" but, bloody loads!
Luckily some discerning and smart women live here as well to knock them off their self-made pedestals!

Arrogant idiots who think the world owes them a living.

Yes there some men who think like that too.

Now, now Bil this post shows a lot of arrogance as you seem to be saying that your question is relevant and Lynns is not. You have added your question so why is it wrong for Lynn to add hers? You seem to dislike certain women and I am sure that most women would agree with you about that type but Lynn´s question is referring to a certain type of man so the two questions are interlinked so please do not discount it as irrelevant just because it may detract from you having your say.

Lynn, Oh, so true so many men seem to fail to look in the mirror in the first place, think that their so called wit is disarming, think that only their opinion is important and that women would die for their attention.

Well, to answer that question, I would say that I don't consider myself at all alluring. I look in the mirror and see myself as I am. Battered, but not broken by the years.

That raises the question. Since so many women trade on their looks, how do they cope when their looks start to go so early on?
