I find it difficult (as well as >distressing) to believe that you are *that* insensitive and chauvin- >istic. Believe or not, women *do* live for something besides men. Now, I think you have grossly misinterpreted Ross here. When he said, >>Women, on the other hand, had more men after them then they could possibly >>handle: generally turning down more dates than they accepted. So breaking >>up from a not-so-perfect relationship did not mean that they were to >>be lonely on friday night. And so breaking up was not such a big deal. he was referring to the MALE person being lonely on a friday night. You have, I fear, like some other contributors recently, given new elucidation to the phrase "knee-jerk". Personally, I think Ross was basically right; and I think it based on my own observations of other people. I think it tends to be easier, in today's society, for the female-person to go looking for the start of a new relationship while maintaining the old one than for the male-person to do so, simply because this looking requires very little effort, relatively, compared to the extensive trial-and-rejection approach required of male people. This is just one of the basic, fundamental diff- erences between male-people and female-people in today's society. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
