^read it. and weep.

There are some things in this world that I have zero tolerance for. Women who rely on men for money and other luxuries is one of those things.

Here's the intro to the daba girls blog:

"Are you or someone you love dating a banker? If so, we are here to support you through these difficult times. Dating A Banker Anonymous (DABA) is a safe place where women can come together – free from the scrutiny of feminists– and share their tearful tales of how the mortgage meltdown has affected their relationships."

Unfortunately, daba girls, you are not free from the scrutiny of Tyece.

The women on this blog complain about the most trivial things ranging from their valentine's day gifts (one women complained about how she got foul weather gear for a YACHT trip) to cutting down on expenses until the recession ends.

There are many choice words I could use to describe these women but for the purposes of this blog, I am going to say they are selfish and co-dependent. This isn't a blog about the economy but anyone who is living and breathing knows that if you are able to even take yacht trips during these turbulent times, chances are your life isn't really worth lamenting about. Maybe, daba girls, when you find yourselves begging for student loans to finance the education you've always hoped for, believe you deserve, and can suddenly no longer pay for or you and your family are homeless on the street because you got laid off from your job, THEN you can dedicate a blog to complaining about the economy. Just a thought. But, I digress.

For the purposes of freelove, my problem with these women stems from the fact that I'm almost 100% positive that they would have next to nothing if it weren't for the men who pay for everything from their panties to their pedis. It's perfectly OK for your significant other to indulge and spoil you. But, when it's obvious that you could never create that kind of life for yourself, then we have a problem. And, the fact that these women refer to their significant others as their "FBFs" or "finance boyfriends" also makes my skin crawl. Why can't he just be your boyfriend? What does he prestigious Wall Street job have to do with who he is as a person?

Obviously, the daba girls blog is exaggerated. Nonetheless, there are millions of women who rely solely on their men to sustain a comfortable existence. Why? If you want a guy who is wealthy and well off, fine. But, YOU need to be wealthy and well off, too. Expecting someone to indulge our luxuries is foolish, self-centered, and low class.

Make your own cash. End of story.

Love freely,
