I was in a meeting last year with one particular career woman who is particularly known for an abrasive personal style, which she justified by saying "if a man did that, you'd just say he was strong, but if a woman does it, she's a bitch".

You know the type. Their male counterpart is that type we refer to as "assholes", but I digress.

At one point in a meeting she had been acting particularly misandrystic with some of the other women in the gathering, and she came out with that old canard bemoaning her life, "Where have all the good men gone?"

To which I sweetly replied, "You're too late. They're married to the good women".

A bitter pill that even intelligent people have to sometimes swallow is that people tend to be romantically rejected for substantive, rather than shallow reasons. This is true for men or women. There is no shortage of good men or women - there are many. They just reject unappealing potential mates, that's all.

That's to their credit, by the way.
