- Or as one of the [few] women I work with put it....
-
- my women friends think that working at microsoft would be great...
- men, men, men...and the men/woman ratio [we're in MS-DOS/Windows]
- is good. But...the intersection of the set of men who are desirable
- [in terms of personality, interests, etc] with the set of men who
- are available is usually null.
-
- Or, if a man is available...it's usually for cause.

- 'undesirable, it wouldn't be null in my case. but dating someone
- in my immediate group might induce insanity. oh well....]
