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

>>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.
