I find it interesting that the author complains that the plot is demeaning to men (which it is, as described) and then offers this line:

Women can find as many carnal partners as they’d like, regardless of their own appearance, simply by entering a bar and shouting, “Here I am boys! Come and have it!” This would be as effective an aphrodisiac for men as a million dollar salary would be for women.

Either men are conscious human beings who deserve respect from the other half of humanity, or they're apes who'll scr3w anything that presents. He can't have it both ways.

Well, if you haven't figured the answer to this by now - you are in for a long life full of disappointment.

... and after closing-time, you still have the animal kingdom.

Need help understanding men?

The prescription for you is a back to back sitting of Godfather II, followed by Scarface. If you don't get us after that, then you are beyond help.

....having worked in a bar for over 20 years, I would have to say the answer is:

they're apes who'll scr3w anything that presents.

Of course you can. A prostitute does not want for business even though most men won't give her the time of day. The truth is very much that a woman can have as many carnal partners as she likes, but that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the next man you meet. The other side of the coin is that she can't have any man she wants no matter how attractive she is.

The point he is making is that stories about the worst of humanity are not worth telling or watching, at least not time after time. It makes for lousy art.

Yes you can. It has been said that the test of a higher intelligence is the ability to grasp and hold two completely contradictory premises in your mind simultaneously. Men are fully capable of pondering the philosophical, moral and ethical implications of initiating an interpersonal relationship with a woman when we approach her in a bar and ask "so, do you live around here often?".
