I mean, if a guy has such bad taste, I don't really think he'd be able to appreciate what a wonderful person I am... so I don't really think I'm missing too much. Perhaps my "there are plenty of other fish in the sea" attitude comes easier to a woman than a man, since there are more opportunities for a woman to meet men through our profession than vice versa. But there really are women out here who are definitely NOT looking for a jerk to get involved with, so it's not hopeless. Froggy
