51.1My friends are politeROYCE::RKEdragons slain....maids rescuedTue Dec 23 1986 12:065
	It's not true, I fairly often, keep women waiting, but they are usually 
too polite to repremand me once I have indicated my deep and lasting sorrow at 
my lateness!

51.2Time waits for no manRDGE40::KERRELLwith a little bit of top and sideTue Dec 23 1986 12:133
I've not experienced this one, it must be a question of personalities.

51.3No Gender Specification...HPSCAD::WALLI see the middle kingdom...Tue Dec 23 1986 12:2315
    
    I think the base note is referring to the 'wait for the girl to finish
    getting ready for a date' but I thought it only applied to adolescents.
    It's a stereotype, in any case. Adults who fail to show up when they
    are supposed to should apologize or explain the extenuating
    circumstances.
    
    My father has a thing for this, and I inherited from him.  I get
    rather inflamed at people who think I have nothing better to do
    than stand around and wait for them.  I don't care if it's a woman
    or a man.

     The premise is stupid and wrong, thus the entire note is garbage.

        Yes indeed... I don't find this (.0) to be true... and I
        am indeed involved in Computer Science.  Satisfied?
        
        Since I've yet to find an appropriately sarcastic grin, I
        won't attempt to include a smiley face... but y'all get the
        idea, I'm sure.

51.8It's still garbageTOPDOC::SLOANETue Dec 23 1986 14:509
    As I said in WOMANSNOTES, I think this topic is a bunch of
    crap. Mr Topaz said it a lot nicer.
    
    And if you think I'm liberal and open minded, you ARE in a bad way.
    
    Is everyone who disagrees with you "C. S.?" Do you always deal with
    conflict by attacking?
