... in response to Why I don't like Jerks & Ugly Americ..., posted by Houndog on Jun 18, 2001To HD,
This is a good post, and I appreciate it because during the last couple of days there have been posts that have talked about scams played by Latinas. However, no one ever brings up the topic about how many playboys are trying to hustle the girls in the agencies... and we have to be honest and admitt that these kind of guys exist. Also, I'm sure that many guys that have posted on the board have made some mistakes in this pursuit. I sure have. I didn't know what to expect on my first trip down, and looking back I can easly see how guys can get carried away with this kind of thing. But, I've learned that for the sincere guys, we have to catch ourself, focuss on the utlimate prize of finding a lifetime partner, and don't get cuaght up in the playboy game. It would be easy to go out that way, but then what would we be doing.... hurting girls that trusted us, preying on girls that don't know any better, putting on masks in front of their families, promising them marriage that we have no intention of having, etc., etc., etc.. In the end, what would we have, NOTHING!!!!! And I couldn't live my life with all that baggage, guilt, and hurt.
So, I'm sending this out to all the guys lurking around, especially the young ones. This is not a game, and playing with peoples' hearts doesn't lead to anything. It hurts other people, and it will hurt the manipulator in the end. And, I am glad (or I should say thankful to God) that I caught myself and learned not to get caught in the playboy life with these girls. Yes, WE all make mistakes, but there comes a time when maturity needs to set in.
In Brotherhood,
Aaron
