    	Don't forget to add the "Sensitive Macho Man" and the chapter
    	on "Ok, HOW do you want me to treat you? (like shit or like
    	a queen, your actions confuse me)"

    Re .0, don't you mean you're ready to write a "bitter" novel, and
    re .1, how about treat'em like human beings - why does the only
    choice have to be "shit" or "queen"?

    Lorna I agree with you on the later.....why can't men and women
    just treat each other as friends.....seems we lose so much when
    we feel we must play games.

    RE: .2,.3
    
    	That's the default Lorna. I treat everyone as a human being
    	to the best of my ability. What issue I'm talking about is
    	the women who say they want a "nice guy" and continually
    	go for the guys that treat them like shit. Many can't make
    	up thier mind and can't find "happieness" in the nice person
    	they are with. Personally, I try to treat people the way
    	I like to be treated. (and if I don't treat them nice then
    	I don't blame them in the least for shitting on me)
    
    				Not playing the game,

    How about a counterpoint to "Men Who Hate Women, And The Women
    Who Love Them" ?
    
    Something like "Self-Destructive Women, And The Men Who Love 
    Them "

    And another volume in this x� volume set...
    
    	"Men who DON't have shitty attitudes yet still wonder"
    
    	Chapter 1: "Ok, so it was shitty for a while. I came to grips
    		    with that and now have more women friends than I
    		    know what to do with.. How come I still wonder...?"
    
    	"Women who cling"
    
    	Chapter 1: "How come he gets turned off when I want to sleep
    		    with him? It's only the 3rd date and I thought that's
                    what men wanted??"
    
    
    	We could go on and on I guess, huh?

    Re .11, so true, so true.
    
    One of the biggest problems in dating and love, in my opinion, is
    that *mutual attraction* can be soooo elusive.  In my more bitter
    moments I have felt that the J. Geils tune, "Love Stinks", is the
    ultimate statement.  But, luckily I've had some happier love moments
    as well, so I try to dwell on the positive.  As Tom Petty sang,
    "Even the losers get lucky sometimes" :-).
    
    My book, proving once and for all that I was a true victim of growing
    up in the 50's and 60's might be called, "At Least I Wasn't An Old
    Maid" :-).

    "And when you say 'I understand' I don't believe it...
     And when you're reaching for my hand I don't believe it...
     And when you say you want me near I don't believe it...
     And that you're holding back the tears I don't believe it..."
    
    I've been thinking about this a lot lately.  Such cynicism is obviously
    the product of a flawed psyche.  I know this.
    
    Yet, I look back on the evidence of my experience, and it seems
    that it doesn't matter whose fault it is -- it just happens.  No
    good guys, no bad guys, really. (Lord, am I cliched today).  Hence
    I have this barrier of belief that keeps me from getting entangled
    again.

                Women have come, women have gone
                everyone trying to change me ya
                Oh some were so sweet I barely got free
                others they only enraged me
    
                Sometimes at night I see their faces
                I feel the traces they've left on my soul
                And those are the memories 
                that make me a wealthy soul
    
               Yes those are the memories
               that make me a wealthy soul

    	I know I catch on fast.. I used to not.. It got me in too much
    trouble.. (Of course, now that I catch on too fast I don't get in
    the trouble.. Maybe that's what's wrong? I need "trouble"??)
