Her co-worker’s boyfriend, who is here in NYC visiting her from Germany, called her. She’d only ever met him a couple of times at some work functions. During the call he told her that he’d had a fight with his girlfriend and that he wanted my friend to meet him for a drink so he could talk about what happened and that he needed a shoulder to cry on. He had called her because she was the only other person he knew in NYC. Apparently he said some awful things to his girlfriend and told my friend, “I say mean things when I get angry.” [...] [...] I was about to mail off my column to NML entitled “How NYM Discovered Great Sex,” when I got a call from a friend which provided me with a prime example of a man using the PPMW (poor pathetic me whine) tactic, and I couldn’t resist sharing the story.

Married men are like a dating plague. They’re on dating sites, they’re at bars, they’re on blogs, and they’re preying on single women. If I had a dime for every time a married man approached me and claimed that his wife, or his “recently separated” (yeah, right) wife wouldn’t sleep with him, I’d be able to buy and sell Richard Branson 10 times over.
