My understanding of the comment was the same as Jeanette's.  It occurred to
me some time ago that more often than not, a man walking around a bar
hitting on random women will be turned down.  More often than not, a woman
roaming around a bar hitting on random men will get lucky.  (No I don't have
any good empirical evidence, but a not-so-random sample of my friends done
about 7 years ago confirmed this.)  For a variety of reasons, men seem to be
more interested in anonymous sexual encounters.  No judgement implied here
about anonymous sex per se -- it just seems to me that when we sleep with
someone we hardly know, it's pretty clear that we're using that person to
our own ends.
