- Good grief! I didn't think attitudes like this still existed.

-
- Did it occur to anybody that more women then men go to a bar or whatever
- simply to have a few drinks, listen to some music, socialise with a few
- friends, and NOT TO MEET A MAN? A bar is the last place I'd look for a
- prospective partner. Men seem to be there primarily to meet women or at least
- to give their egos a boost by giving women the chance to publicly admire these
- fine specimens of manhood (gag).
-
- Oh the whole, women cope a lot better with being single than men do - must be
- something that says you must have an attractive woman hanging off your arm to
- be a true 'man'
-
-
- Don't think I'm a man-hater either - unfortunately I quite like some men -
- having been brought up with two older brothers I relate better to men than
- women in a lot of cases.
