- From the time I was 14, I've avoided self-centered jerks.
- I've had three dates try to become abusive (one hit me;
- another strong-armed me to show that he didn't "have" to accept
- my refusal to have sex, another threw his drink at me and screamed
- obscene names). In each case, that's been the end of the relationship.
- Each of these cases, btw, were before I turned 21.

- I simply consider that kind of behaviour too dangerous to put up
- with it.

- If "the women in your sphere" are idiots, why not look elsewhere?
