I suppose what it comes down to in the end is personal integrity. I think we've all been around long enough to realize that honesty has little to do with marital status. I think the fundamental issue here is that when we play with someone, it is a reasonable expectation on our part that the other people are as they represent themselves to be, and act as they say they will. When someone starts out fundamentally misrepresenting themselves, it's bad. That's pretty obvious to you and I, and most other relatively sane, ethical people. But to someone who's life agenda has subbordinated everything else just to getting laid...well, you get the idea. To these people, everything that isn't their own personal gratification is incidental. Including respect for the very people supplying that gratification.
I'm not limiting this to Single Males, either. But the couple where one spouse has dragged the other unwillingly along, or people who intentionally promulgate mis-information about anything from sexual preference to weight, age or a plethora of other demographics.
Though you started this thread just to gripe, it has taken some pretty interesting side trips. Probably because what you're mostly talking about is the expectation of integrity. We expect people to have a similar degree of integrity to our own. When they don't the result can be anything from exasperation to physical danger.
