- Good point. "Jerk" is an equal opportunity condition.

- Certainly not. However, past a certain age (say, two standard deviations
- above the mean age of marriage), one would be wise to consider *why* a

- reason (eg, one of the sweetest people I know was widowed at the age of
- 25). Or they may be a jerk. Let the datee beware.
