Honestly, I had no real problem with all the games of the single life. It is what it is. The problem comes when people can't seperate 'typical single behavior' from reality.

Sure I lied to few girls (gave them a false name, told them I'd call, said I wasn't dating anyone else, etc.), dated the stripper or two to get it out of my system and enjoyed a few 'friends with benefits.' However, I knew better than to fall in love or lead someone to believe that we were in a committed relationship.

Even when I lived with someone (don't recommend it) we were clear that we had no intention of getting married.

Some people never mature out of that lifestlye and some do.

The people I feel for are those that were in a committed marriage that falls apart due to no fault of their own.

They are thrown into this world of lies and dissappointment after coming from a world of committment.

I think people should always be cautious when dating anyone (male/female) who is over the age of 35 that has never been married. Likewise, if they have been married and divorced more than twice, run, run, run!
