Oh, that's all right.  Perhaps I've just led a sheltered life--I've
never met any real "smooth-talking snakes".  They must be related
to lounge lizards.  The woman I stole left me later for a non-smooth-talking
sophomore--she liked his looks, that's all.  When she found out he was
already long involved with another woman, she bailed out fast.  You could
accuse him of duplicity, but she provoked it.

Anyway, if a woman falls for a "snake", it probably means

	1. she's not ready for a serious relationship, or
	2. she's been brought up to break up any serious
		relationships she gets into and fall for
		snakes, or
	3. she just feels like having a snake.

Some people suggest

	4. she doesn't know a snake when she meets one.

but it sounds like a rationalization to me.  I'm cross-posting this
to net.women to see how women feel about it.
