Bob is completely out of line because, in the first place, Rich doesn't show
any indication of being afraid to ask women out or having any other problems,
let alone blaming American women for them!  In the second place, Bob's
characterization of foreign women as golddiggers is ignorant and degrading
and calls for an apology.

In the third place, I happen to like assertive women myself, because I find
it a lot more stimulating and fun to have an equal relationship than one
where I call all the shots.
