  To Brad Templeton and for the interest(?) of the rest of the net:

  I for one would very much like to hear if you get any responses from
females to your article. I suspect some of what you said is true. I think
someone who is lonely and shows it (i.e. expresses a strong need for love)
is a turn-off to women. Obviously this isn't the same as a man on the make.
My friends who are "ladies men" are the ones who want sex and fun rather
than love. My own personal (admittedly rather cynical) belief is that only
those that really don't need love get women (whether for a one night stand
or otherwise). I know so many guys whose girlfriends adore them even though
their boyfriends treat them like shit. It seems that someone who really needs
love and doesn't have the rather common ability (at least among males) to hide
his loneliness scares women off. I am not sure why this is and have been dying
for years for someone to enlighten me. As one of my friends rather crudely
put it: "If you want to get anywhere, you have to not give a shit". I suspect
it's because the women just assume that a man who really needs love is going
to be overly possesive. I don't think that's a valid assumption, but that could
start me off on another flame (which would probably be falsely interpreted as
sexist) that could last for many pages...
