Center, Univ. of Texas at Austin Lines: 24 I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that most men/women who go to singles bars appear lacking in the sensitivity department. But I cannot agree that the male/female population in general is this way. Think about it - what do you think MOTIVATES most of these people to go to singles bars anyway? If you don't like this type of person DON'T GO THERE!!! It's that simple! If you want to meet sensitive people, try going some place which is more likely to attract them. I happen to know lots of nice men/women who avoid singles bars like the the PLAGUE, and so do I! Maybe what sometimes looks like LUST is an overwelming desire to be loved and accepted. Not always, but sometimes. When I was 17 (and on and off for the past 4 1/2 years) I, too, believed that most men only wanted one thing, didn't know the first thing about how to CARE, and didn't want to. My BAD experiences even led me to doubt what I thought were good men. Because of this, when I first met the man I ended up married to - I didn't even LIKE him. My brother told me he wanted to make friends with this guy because, among other things, he had a reputation for knowing lots of women in town. (My brother: formerly of the "why buy the cow when the milk is free?" club, who now owns his own cow...) Lucky for me, I got to know what he was really like. Judy (ut-ngp!judy)
