- Perhaps the problem with a lot of people is , in general (at least
- with males - I've never been female yet], as soon as a guy goes
- looking for a women , then his behavior changes from the regular
- individual he is to an agressive " I must impress women to get
- women " type personality. (By the way, I admit to have behaved this
- way in the past).

- Jen is correct, as soon as you start to assume that everybody is
- a potential friend first, then this allows behavior to be more relaxed
- (or normal - whatever that is ....) and is thus less likely to scare
- the hell out of women. (Or anybody). If the pressure is lifted
- from the individual woman, then that woman will also be more relaxed and
- more likely willing to be friendly..

- Great stuff, Jen
