Great Example!

You hit the nail on the head. A very interesting point is that these men don't even have enough insight to cover their tracks. For example, no man with an ounce of self respect would be playing the internet dating game with other women and leave a picture of his "wife" on his website. On the other hand, why would any woman want a man who without question sees her as "desperate, stupid, and easily manipulated?"

It is my hope that one day women will become empowered enough to quit looking for so-called love in all the wrong places. Even a better thought is for women who have allowed themselves to be "used" by men who prey upon them to write a book. It would be interesting to interview both the men who are the parasites as well as the women/men who allow themselves to be scammed. These scammers are not just working from the internet cafes in other countries but they are also scamming from internet cafes in other countries. Just go to some of the restaurants/coffee shops in the U.S. and you will see men doing the same thing they did in their respective countries. Or another way to observe and evaluate the behaviors of these men is to frequent the communities where they live. You will see them sleeping all day, working in a restaurant at night, and then hanging with their male friends after they get off work. They "drift" in their respective countries and they continue the process wherever they go. Women who are preyed upon have the power to stop this game I will call the "game to nowhere".

I am truly saddened when I see women so desperate that they will take abuse in every form imaginable. I also wonder why grown men prefer the company of other men vs the company of their girlfriends or wives. There is something about this picture that just isn't right.
