   Here's one for you to consider about why I would like to have access to 
some "singles-only" events. Suppose I meet a lady to whom I feel a little 
attracted (by whatever your definition of that term is) at a gathering
somewhere. Naturally I will want her to feel the same way and so will probably
invest some time and effort in arranging things so that I will have chances
to be near her and talk with her. Since most events are only one evening long,
I am not going to be able to do this for every lady there, so I will have to
pick one to "zero in" on. Now let me forestall some flames by pointing out that
I have not said anything about my intentions yet. This type of thing would
go on whether I was looking for a sexual partner for the evening, a long-term
romantic relationship, or just a new friend.  Now imagine my disappointment
when I discover that she has a boyfriend! By now it is too late in the
evening to "zero in" on another lady, so as far as meeting new women goes, the
evening is a failure. Now this is typical of gatherings I go to where I have 
an opportunity to meet ladies, and JUST ONCE I would LOVE to go somewhere
where I could be virtually guaranteed that this won't happen!
