- I don't get alt.feminism but would appreciate it if someone
- would forward it there for completeness:

- The following response is said with "tongue firmly in cheek":

-
- This is true: a "man" would say, "Would you like to go out for
- dinner?"

-
- Yes, a "man" wouldn't use this this obviously line. He'd say
- something about you being beautiful/special/intelligent and how
- that and how much you are important to him -- or other "stuff
- that'll impress most women".

-
- Yes, but that's because these freshmen aren't as experienced as
- "men" are so they appear foolish to most observers. After facing
- the inevitable rejections they'll soon learn to start posting
- looking for "friends just to talk to" in their area or whatever.
-

- >The correspondance I have received that I deem "good" far, FAR

-
- This is very good advice that these "boys" should listen to !
- Listen to what this women is saying, "boys". Stop pretending that
- you are really interested in sex. Start talking about "sensuality"
- and "sexuality" and make sure that you are genuinely curious and
- honest about the question you ask unlike when you say that you
- are interested in sex...

- >Flirting is fun if done creatively, of course, but you have to know
- >more than a person's email address to do that, I think.
-
- That's right, "boys". Stop trying to be mind-readers. Trying
- flirting, "creatively" -- this is what "honesty" is all about !
-
- Especially when a *married* woman tells you, "I don't come to the net
- to get picked up, or to have net.sex" ! So just stick with the
- "creative" flirting, OK? And make sure you have more than just a
- "female-looking" address to go on...
-
- And then, someday, you too, can become "men" !
