Berzin, if your friend decided that living with a loser is better than not (and maybe finding happines in other things and maybe even other people!) then thats HER problem. I do understand how she can feel lonely - it doesnt matter how fulfilled we are in other areas the fat of the matter is we all want to love and be loved.
HOWEVER, there has to come a point where a woman has to wake up from a nightmare life that includes a man that takes more from you than what he is giving... and im not talking about money - I'm talking about quality of life, meaning and love.
I am a big advocate of making MANY things your happines because if you only make ONE thing, and is gone, then we are all messed up. With this thinking, I wasn't broken beyond repair after my divorce. We cant let our spouse, jobs, kids, vacations, chicas, tigeres, house or car be our only recourse to make us happy. That way if one is missing, we have other things to make up where one is lacking...
About the chick in the ad: she is a golddigger and we have established. I also think that having a LIST of demands for a mate is unreasonable - specially if she herself has none of the items in that list. However, every woman has to have her self-worth established to herself, expect a level of life and treatment and also NEVER settle. Is not good for anyone involved.
