        I'm personally VERY straight. I think gays either have a hormonal
  imbalance (very small percentage) or are mentally disturbed.(much larger
  percentage)  HOWEVER I do respect and will fight for their right to
  carry on their lives as they see fit. This is basic requirement of freedom.

        But as to Trish's remark about men in general being "macho assholes"
  I could say that women in general are teasing bitches!

        I know of many men who are totally withdrawn from contact with women
  for fear of rejection. These guys are afraid of the typical woman who
  (with or without malice and forthought) allows a man to "wine and dine"
  and fork over the bucks for her- only to tell him to shove off next week.
  I known several otherwise good, honest women who have used their sexuallity
  to subsidize their incomes in this way.

        I'm married, but if I was back in the market again one principle to
  which I would strongly adhere would be to make the first and second date
  a mutually pleasing- costless outing; playing tennis, bicycling or going
  to the zoo,etc. A chance to feel each other out with nothing but some
  time invested for both parties.

        In summary, women may have been burned by men but a lot of men
  have been burned by women! It may be a regenerative effect. I think
  with a little more honesty on both sides, both would benefit (without
  having to become gay?!)
