Well, if young women don't feel especially guilty about having affairs with married men then I take it that should lower the probability that a young woman like Suzanne would have purposefully omitted any such information from her diary.

Would it be naive for me as a man to assume woman focus most often on "romantic" things in their diaries? I would assume there'd be lots of stuff like "I met this guy today named..."

Again, my main sticking point is that while we all keep things secret, many things that we keep secret didn't start out that way. I have a hard time imagining a man saying to Suzanne "Suzanne, it was nice meeting you today. As you know, I am married. Can you promise me not to tell anyone at all about tonight? Don't tell your mother, don't tell your friends, don't write anything in your diary, don't contact me via e-mail nor will I you (too easy to trace), don't call me either at work or the office lest someone get suspicious... I'll only call you and I won't leave messages. I'll just keep calling you and hope we connect. I'll pick you up blocks away from your apartment and you can't tell anyone what you are doing. Don't worry no one will be suspicious."

Do you think someone like Suzanne would agree to this, from the very start? Would you? Sure, it's possible, but is it probable?
