- -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?

- It is idiots like your three dates who give all men a bad rap and then it
- becomes quite easy to pass laws that discriminate against ALL men. So we are
- ALL being `harrassed' by your `ex-dates' though in quite different ways!
