Son, let me explain it to you in real simple terms.  Dames ain't Countesses,
and they know it.  Women, particularly young women, are long on insecurity
and lack of self confidence.  They respond to self-confidence like a flower
to the Sun.  [Too much Sun and they wilt.]  Mr. Bozo is doing what Mr. Wimp
isn't -- he's delivering the goods, damaged though they may be.  When Mr.
Wimp flops his bod at the feet of Ms. Sweet Young Thing and murmurs that
he desperately craves the boon of worshiping her, he is *Doing The Wrong
Thing*.  This she doesn't need or want.  She wants, in no particular order,
a hero, fun, excitement, somebody to share with, a prospective husband,
a good lay, or an object for her fixations.  Being worshipped, particularly
by pimply nerds, is nowhere on her list.
