He is openly suspicious that a woman would try to trap him with a pregnancy

He's right. I've seen it happen to two of my male friends. On the other hand, any guy who gives love without a glove is an idiot. If you don't want kids, don't have sex.

Now, as a single gal, this article scares me.

Yeah sure. Even the sitcom writers on Friends know better than that.

Ross: "How did this happen?"

Rachael: "Condoms are only effective 97% of the time."

He is utterly shocked by that… "No they're not!"

"Yes they are."

"Well, they should put that on the box!"

"They do!"

"No they don't!" He runs off to go get his box and is looking it over, then says something like "They should put it in bolder print!"

Rachel says she was freaking out at first too…

Ross says "I'm not freaking out! I'm upset… as a consumer!" while he holds up the condom box.

P.S. In real life, condom effectiveness is more like 80-90%. Think about a small 4-year college with only 5,000 students. Assume that male/female is divided 50%/50% and that half are sexually active. That leaves 1250 active couples. Assume they use condoms, even at 97% effectiveness (per year), after four years there's going to be 150 pregnancies!

Since many premarital sexual encounters involve a certain amount of inebriation and loss of judgement, condoms may not be used, or may be used incorrectly.

I've seen your picture. You have nothing to fear. (Plus, you have a dog. Men like dogs. Try finding love with 4 cats, boy, you weed 'em out quick, let me tell ya.)
