A woman who has a poor image of herself might naturally seek out someone who mistreats her. I've dated women who seemed surprised that I was attracted to them and treated them kindly and with respect. It's pretty tough saying "I like you a lot" and having the lady reply "No, you couldn't possibly!" I suppose there are men with the same sort of problem. But I think that our culture sends out so much misogynistic B. S. that women have a harder time breaking loose to be their own people. It's sad. -- ---------------- ....uw-beaver!teltone!mark
