Talk about bigoted, one-sided, prejudiced points-of-view! I take
this statement as complete refusal to participate fully in a
relationship, otherwise known as 'having your cake and eating it
too.' I have lost count of the number of women I have met over the
years that are more than willing to bend your ear ad nauseam about
women's lib, etc., but then watch their dating behavior. The bottom
line, in my experience, is that there still are not very many women
who are willing to share the risks in a new relationship, i.e.,
asking men out, sharing the cost of entertainment, etc.

I have eliminated most of the anxiety on my part. If I meet someone
I like, I will initiate things a time or two. But if she does not
reciprocate in kind, I just take her name out of my address book. I
have fewer dates, but the women are of very high quality.

Best regards,
