No, Rich, you quoted me correctly.  Although I'm not sure
I agree with all your reasons why I am more comfortable with
MOTOS as friends.  Going back to the "rival" syndrome among
a large number of women, I found that I have been more readily
accepted as myself by men.  I found myself holding back, playing
dumb among women so as not to earn their resentment--but men
in general don't try to compete with me, so I can be as sharp,
literate and/or bitchy {:-) as I please.  

(The few men who have felt as though they needed to compete
with me ended up trying to compete with the rest of life, and
came out looking pretty sorry. If you have to one-better every
living creature, you're in sad shape.)

I can also tell raunchier jokes among men!  Sometimes it's easier
to be "one of the guys" than having to be demure all the time.
