Save your empathy (in some cases, morals) and reserve it for your children, animals, your pets, the sick, etc. But when you deal with a man, throw that shit out of the window. Most of time they know the shit they do is wrong but don't care. And neither should you.

Fuck them calling you a gold digger. Wear it like a badge of honor. Fuck them telling you your standards are too high, at least you won't settle for less. Trust me, the moment you even have an ounce of care for them, that's the moment it's all over for you.
