That's kind of insulting...implying that someone has no self-control...sheesh.

No offense to Sweetleaf or any other females, but I've known a lot of females (myself included) who are suckers for men like this. I'm not saying SL is going to be sucked in, but I'm not saying she isn't. Women don't trust their gut instincts that a man is BSing them. I'd have avoided a guy like this ages ago, but that's only because I've read books that have confirmed that men who appear really nice, do in fact lie - it is human nature to push boundaries and to be manipulative. They do it exactly by being nice, and they manipulate you by their availability, so that any crumb they feed to you, you'll eat from their hand. They do it by making up any excuse (my mum died, my phone died, my ex died, I've been busy) about why they haven't been in touch, just to make their lives easier, not yours. That may sound very cold of me to say, but people WILL use reasons like that as excuses, so they get to control you by making you sympathetic towards them, and therefore allowing them to get away with more because they "Can't help it".
When the other person controls when communication is allowed - it shows a real lack of respect. People should not tolerate it from either sex.
I agree, It's not insulting to women to say that they are at risk from charming con men,
charming con men often make women have sex with them, and often make men buy crap cars, both genders are at risk from them,
its stupid to say "oh women are to clever they dont fall for that" best to be realistic and safe.
