Perhaps you're using extreme hyperbole to make a point, but some of those observations start sounding a bit insulting and have little context (women at the mall?).

All based on my woeful experiences and observations as a nice guy trying to find a decent wife in California -- PARTICULARLY section (d) -- and observing the fates of the women who chose evil men instead of me and my friends. No hyperoble necessary.

In no way should that post be interpreted as an attack on all women -- far from it -- but in Lost Angeles, that post does probably describe the majority. Even among self-proclaimed, churchgoing "Christians".

Never mind implying it's all the woman's fault.

Well... my wife seems to think so! She thinks all those girls were crazy, and that I'm a great guy. And she is a great girl who in no way fits that negative description, either.

On reflection, THAT probably IS hyperbole - but not as much as you might think. It might however be a statistical residue of the fact that many good women get snapped up at an early age and by ~30, the percentage of those still single is skewed in favor of the "Sex and the City" types.

Plenty of decent guys have asked these women out, hoping for a Christian relationship leading, if all goes well, to marriage --only to find themselves fending off seduction attempts after a few dates! ("But... we met in Bible study, I didn't expect her to throw herself at me!"). I had this happen more times than I care to count, and I'm currently counselling a guy who got blindsided by such a woman shortly after he got saved, and unfortunately gave into her.... sabotaged his spiritual life for 3 years before he broke free.

I've read your freeper profile and we've talked before -- I don't think YOU are one of these. THere's a couple others here (cyborg, rintense) that also come across as great women. In no way do I intend to slam you. In fact, the perfidy of these other women makes your sort look all the better by comparison. But, I am talking about real experiences when I make these rants -- as Rush puts it, "I don't make this stuff up!"
