One of the reasons that women date losers is simply because they're male.

It's at this point that a half-way decent man need only show up to be somewhat in the game.

If you want to know how to piss off a woman, write an observation of her ilk over 40 and some of the harsh realities -- bonus points for encouraging men to take the romantic lead. Such is what I wrote yesterday, and the comments from women were anything but lauding.
