Hey guys, let's keep in mind that this is not the world; this is not Ontario; and this is not the Internet (at least not the entire Internet). This is a relatively small newsgroup with limited distribution, and with not many readers.And also, let's face facts: This is not the first place a gal would look for a sensitive_guy(TM). We would like to think that this is an equal opportunity network, but in reality, almost all of the posters are men. I guess women just don't have what it takes to go public with their emotions. Not that I blame them 100%; it wasn't all that long ago that there were one or two sensitive_gals who posted here. They were prone to public propositions across the net and werefrequently the victims of flame wars. Anyway, my point is that there are probably very few nice girls who read this group and if we want to entice them to post here, we are going to have to be very nice to them (just pretend this is ont.singles.nice). So let me conclude with the following plea: for now we don't really expect any opinions from you; just stand up and let yourselves be counted. I, for one, would just like to know that single women in Ontario do subscribe to this group.Otherwise, this group is very likely to become a place where men complain about how awful women in Ontario are. Or perhaps a forum for discussing good places to eat :-) DISCLAIMER: I do not speak for ont.mankind, only me.mankind. Cheerio, Gord.
