When I worked in NYC, I'd sometimes hit the singles bars with my friends after work. At these places, the men at ususally outnumbered the women by about seven to one. This was also the story at the "singles" parties I attended. Perhaps women have such a difficult time meeting men because they WON'T GO OUT! We men can't meet them if they spend most of their spare time sitting at home with girlfriends talking about draperies and stuff. Frank Silbermann
