In the workbook for the college textbook _The_Social_Animal_, by Eliot Aronson, it's stated that (according to Aronson's measurements, and disregarding recent postings here that claim they are invalid) around twice as many women are responsible for terminating existing relationships as are men. (His statistic was more accurate than that, but it's been about 7 years since I read that book.) Why do you think that is? -- Shyy-Anzr: J.
