I am somehow still constantly surprised at how shamelessly women use men for their resources.

I rarely ask anyone for anything, and if I did, I would avoid asking a woman. Why? I suppose because I'm a man, and I just don't like asking women for help. This is true for contexts ranging from romantic relationships to friends to co-workers and beyond.

Women will shamelessly use up a man's time and resources without giving it a second thought. It goes without saying that this is how many men get caught in the "friend zone". Women will use a guy as their emotional tampon, get him to do her favors, etc. Why? Because she can do it without feeling any remorse.
