Don't end up a starter wife.

The amount of times I’ve heard of this happening is astounding, especially with professional men.

Coast through medical or law school on the back of their poor starter wife/fiancé, only to pull the rug out from her the day he graduates, completely debt-free.

To add insult to the injury, they usually end up engaged to some bimbo they met 6 months later lol.

Why would you settle for a man you have to build? This ain’t LEGO.

“If You Build Them They Will Leave” video from Sheraseven goes into the “Bob The Builder” phenomenon in depth:

A few words about Betty Broderick...She committed this crime 30 years ago and she still won’t say that she is sorry or express any remorse about the crime.

I refuse to date a man that idolizes Elon Musk, and what he did to Justine is part of the reason why.

The other reasons are that they're A. unoriginal and B. stupid for thinking Elon is much more than an exploitative asshat who takes credit for his engineers' work. Much like Steve Jobs, his "genius" identity is an expertly-crafted marketing ploy.

I don't have time to build somebody else. I am building myself up

I can't support the idea of murdering men or their mistresses/new wives like I've seen some posts here... yikes. BUT yes, most times you build up a man and/or support them financially before they have their sh!t together, most of the times when they get to a better place they'll dump you. Because you remind them of a part of them they don't like and sometimes feel ashamed about. They prefer someone who's never seen them at their worse and someone who they can impress with their new wealth. Many of them also get entitled and think that now after they've had what they needed from you, they can move on to "new" and "better things" because now they're successful. Its painful so avoid doing that.
