In the past decade, some women have been suffering from a chronic behavioral complication of mythic proportions. The number of women suffering from this rare condition has been growing exponentially in the past couple of years due to unknown reasons. Top doctors are struggling to understand the actual causes of the condition and many top psychologists can't fathom the implications of the condition in the long term, as well. Many families have been reported to break up, run and scream for mercy after hearing what some of these women have had to say. One reliable source said that this might be the cause of the sub prime meltdown in real estate. Moreover, priests, when made aware of this breaking news, have cried this could be the end of the world and the start of the Apocalypse.


The condition these poor, helpless women suffer from is called Confidantitis (pronounced con-fi-dant-i-tis) . The main symptom characteristic of Confidantitis is what one male victim describes as the I only want to be friends conundrum. Many highly eligible single men have faced this behavioral response after getting to know a woman and asking them if they would like to date and become more then friends. But, the female in question refuses to answer or come up with a no, so she says "let's be friends." The creme de la creme of males have reported this at least once in their lifetime and some report it happening consistently over their dating career. Many people who know these highly successful males very well say "That girl is clueless." One reported a friend saying "You have no GIRLFRIEND? Are you joking?" Others hale "Women love diamonds but they sure can't see the diamond right in front of their eyes," and their older female friends declare "I'd be all over you if I was 12 years younger and your age."


These women feel the need to be as nice as possible and "we should only be friends" seems like the nicest route. Wrong, almost all of the men reported that they would rather receive a total "cold hearted" rejection of no followed by "but if you want to be friends then that is cool."


As I have been on the receiving end of this psychological calamity a number of times, I start to wonder. I am a sweet, funny guy that plays guitar, sings, has financially intelligence that is leaps and bounds over my peers. I'm driven beyond all belief, healthy, good looking and smart. I even have ethical morals! I have a clean record of not cheating on women and treating them in the highest manner allowable by the laws of physics and ethics. After realizing all of this, I always end with the conclusion that if the woman isn't smart enough to see that I have way more great qualities then poor qualities, then it is their ultimate loss. Many ladies want the amazing looks, bad ass personality and already financially successful men, but I will keep on doing what I do. I know that one day one girl will be smart enough to see the gold mine she just struck. Then I will never have to face the dilemma of Confidantitis.
