When the "Catch" is no longer a Catch

I remember the first SATC when one of the "toxic bachelors" claims that women won't bother with the fat guy or the broke guy or the short guy. Miranda's quote was the story of my life: I have been out with some of those guys. The short, fat, poor ones. It makes absolutely no difference. They are just as self-centered and unappreciative as the good-looking ones.

And the duhds are worse. They honestly think they don't bring a ton of baggage.

I still had Duh's writing me, but they'd start with: "I don't have primary custody of my kids, so..." or "I never see my kids, so..."

Do NOT fall for that one. Even if the kyds are two continents away and the duh swears he only sees them twice a year. It is very common for teenagers to whine and cry and


This is what I run into- daddies who lie, lie. lie.....

Having been a "hot babe" through most of my 20s and 30s I can tell you there's another side to this. A lot of these self-proclaimed "nice guys" are really shallow annoying wankers with an overblown sense of entitlement. They won't even consider pursuing women who aren't physically fit and conventionally attractive but expect women to overlook their (often considerable) physical flaws. They can also be incredibly clingy and whiny when you do give in to their pestering and date them. The lucky few like Drew Carey (who I've always thought is an asshole) who become very successful in life attract greedy golddiggers in droves, which gives millions of shallow wanker losers hope and reinforces their entitled douchey behavior.

Well someone really thinks a lot of himself...

Don't think for a second this guy is only talking about moos. These guys are bitter and dislike women in general because they feel they have been wronged in the past and it's never their fault. And "childless" women were also dating bad boys back in high school. I'm sure Mr. TooCoolCatch was a dickhead back then too. My SO was an intelligent nerd who didn't date in school, he isn't angry or looking for payback.

I had thought the same thing; while I can empathize with the nerds who were passed over who just did not bother dating, a lot of these guys like the one above were thunderdouches back in the day too. THey would not date a fellow member of the nerd herd, or the overweight girl with a kickass personality, or the too tall basketball whiz. They were too busy gunning for the cheerleaders just like the jocks.

. The second whackjob told me that he didn't have any kydz but he was really attached to his niece and nephew. Towards the end of our dinner date, grandmoo brings the kiddies to the restaurant. Can you guess what they yelled when they first saw him??? DUHDDY!!! .

O.o

was she TRYING to sabotage the date?
not that it wouldn't have ended eventually, what with him being a breeder n' all. but that's just ODD. "LET'S INTERUPT A QUIET DATE WITH SCREAMING CHIMPS!"

Um. Ugly?

Teens, I can see. Twenties - ahem, something's amiss. If all of a sudden a person becomes attractive in their thirties they either lost a lot of weight, kicked an addiction or got therapy, make a lot of money. But it doesn't make you all of a sudden ALL THAT because some desperate moos are hovering around your wallet.

Miranda was my fave SATC character and I was so disappointed that she sprogged with Steve because I liked him too. At least they had her stop at one unlike moo-brain Charlotte.

My all time favorite single duh online ad was this average looking dude who had an exhaustive laundry list of the characteristics he wanted in a woman, culminating in "and she has to understand that my son comes first". This prince actually responded to my ad which very specifically and clearly stated that I was not interested in children. Did he seriously believe someone like me would be interested in playing surrogate moo and second fiddle to his snotminer?

Also, has anyone else had the glorious experience of fucking a guy and then being told to leave because "my son is here and I don't want to send a bad message." Yeah, like little Fuckstayne didn't know what we were doing in the bedroom. It was just a casual relationship but needless to say that was the last he saw of me because I don't play that shit.

They ALWAYS say that, but what they mean is the kid is supposed to "come first" with YOU. They NEVER put their own kid first, but expect everyone else to so THEY can play. I was married to a man like that and believe me when I say that he ALWAYS said that, but he was absolved from that little "rule" himself. The worst part is he claimed to not understand why I or anyone else didn't want to put his kid "first", but claimed this is what HE was doing which he CLEARLY was NOT. I later learned this is very typical of breeder men. NO THANKS!:1wv

Oh, exactly. If they really were putting the kyds first they would set aside specific time to spend alone with them doing activities the kyds would enjoy. But no, they want to drag the kyds along to activities they like or rope the new woman in their lives into babysitting while they go off and have fun with the boys.

These guys are also over-attached to their mothers, ever notice? They hold their mother's opinions on every topic far above anything else and will drop everything -- including YOU -- if their mothers summon them.

Consequently, they're not only emotionally retarded but they have totally and unaccountably overinflated estimations of their 'market value'. And there is nothing more embarrassing and uncomfortable than meeting or having to talk to an unattractive, boring, unaccomplished and very ordinary guy who's as self-centred, egotistical, self-congratulating and eager to promote himself as a hollywood a-lister. That's all because mommy spends every moment reassuring him about how wonderful he is.

Post on Cave Canum Confession Board:


Ladies (and I call you that loosely),

Guys like me went without sex in our teens and 20s for lots of reasons. We were bettering ourselves, we were holding out for someone worth the effort, or we were just plain ignored for being 'nerdy' or 'not cool.' Well, we're in our 30s now with stable professional jobs, lots of money and many well developed interests. We're suddenly prime catches... so what the fuck makes you think we want your used-up asses and snotty fatherless children? You chose to party all the time and fuck the hot 'bad boys' so you can live with the consequences. There's plenty of smart, successful, single, childless ladies out there looking for a guy like me. Get lost, you washed up skanks - you're ten years too late.
