It's hard to find the right people, Joan. If it was a matter of education level, economic level, where they lived, etc. it might be easy. But when men feel comfortable talking "boy talk" with you as they do me, you find out things you'd rather not know. And there are no boundaries. Jerks come in all walks of life. Rich/poor, educated/not, so on and so forth. Some have lousy attitudes towards women, some don't. Where you find them doesn't matter. You weed them out when you find out. I can say that I've never been so shocked as I have by the talk of the well-off, well-educated, well-employed men I have met of late. Who is it that you think can afford those vacations to lands where they can buy young girls? And I lived on the streets in a stripbar/hooker neighborhood. I found the folks there more honest and kinder to each other by and large.

And who are the wrong people? A middle-aged man who you realize lusts after young teens? A Christian who doesn't accept Jesus's teachings that adultery is committed by the look and thought?
It's durn hard to find the right people. There's only people. And when it comes to sex and people's attitudes, if you aren't somewhat leniant, you won't know anyone.

<<jp, please don't get mad at me for asking this. But -- did you ever consider that you
might be making friends with the wrong kind of people?>>

My husband tells me that in exclusively same-sex groups, all kinds of men talk of women in this way. It doesn't have much to do with social class, income level,marital status, or anything else. I believe it is a male bonding ritual, actually.
