I have the feeling we're being teased.  But let's assume Mr.
Triantafyllopoulos is on the level.

Guess you've never been an EMT and been called to pick up battered (raped?)
"girls."  Or is this a novel use of the word "try?"  Or are your powers of
belief simply a little low these days?

>	Ever tried to get one for a date? for coffee? for dance? for _______?
		yes				yes	yes		yes
(My, aren't we getting personal.)  I don't recall having complaints on any
of those scores.  Then again, I questioned your use of "try."

>	What I mean is the degree of sheep-iness (i like the term) present. 
I get the feeling that you define "sheepish" as unwilling to go out with you.
And that from a man whose home country has _lots_ of sheep.  How unusual.

Apart from different usages of English, I also get the feeling that these
women's "sheepishness" justifies their living in fear.  Like I said above,
maybe you're teasing.

[Maybe I'm the only one crude enough to remark on your attitude in public.]
>	I know.  I only wish they did, too.
Maybe.
