A bit more horse-corpse beating:

To those of you who complain about the capriciousness
of women who have the *power* to accept or reject your advances:

I find it difficult to sympathize with your plight.  For every woman who
has hurt your feelings by rejecting you, there are many who
never have the opportunity to accept your, or anyone else's, offers.
The social circumstances that enforce this are beginning to change, but
the benefits accrue mainly to those women who need them less -- that is,
those who get enough attention already.

A shy man (such as myself) at least has the support of society in 
overcoming that shyness.  A woman who must take the initiative to 
get any attention at all is inviting abuse.

I'm impressed that the female participants have not brought up this
aspect.  Is it because most of you have had the good sense to skip
the whole debate, or is my perception of circumstances inaccurate?
