Many women would benefit greatly from that knowledge...most predatory men (those involved in "hit and runs", so to speak) have a tendency to pick on women who are looking desperately for an emotional connection.
Some of the women even get to the point where they seek out physical interactions as a means of feeling close to somebody...which is pathetic. These women are the ones you see getting drunk and hooking up with random guys...the one's that always present themselves as being happy...and then they go home and cry their lonely asses to sleep if they come home alone.

People in general are fucked. It's somewhat hard to say which party in that instance would be exploiting the situation more...

It's that second existential dillema...being lonely sucks...and we will never be able to truly know anyone else, and when we die we'll be alone in it- eternally alone is our plight. People who can't cope drag each other down like crabs in a barrel in an attempt to deny or push this simple truth from conscious thought. It's mutual.

Men and women who abuse their position to get what they want through coersion deserve to be beaten publicly and put in the stocks.
Men and women who are naive enough, or downright stupid enough to trust these people, and surrender themselves to the former, deserve what's coming to them, their exploitation that is...and then they deserve to be mercilessly kicked. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes.

bottom line is... those who trust to that extent are more worthy of contempt than those who take advantage of them.
