-
- Not true. They post because they are somewhat lonely and tired of
- meeting buttheads. They hope to connect with some form of male
- intelligence over the net. Most find out quickly that's a mistaken
- perception, from what I have been told.
-
- > men keep arguing why women don't post.
-
- True, they are the stupid ones. The smart ones know why women don't
- post, already. What woman would want to get flooded with 300+ letters
- from assorted men, most of which are undesirable in her mind and then
- be faced with the daunting task of sorting through all the chaff?
-
- It's far easier for women to read ads and reply to the ones that interest
- them. Makes sense, no?
-
- Didn't think so.

-
- All of my posts yielded responses for me. Then again, I know what I'm
- looking for and I know what I can offer that a woman might find appealing. ;)
- That, and treating them like fellow human beings goes a long way to
- winning their trust and respect.
-
- Hint: Whining about never getting replies is a turn-off for most women.
- What woman wants to correspond with, let alone meet, a desperate
- male?
