Responding to #2984 of yours. The crowded conditions in large cities do not constitute a good analogy, which is to rats when one crowds them. Experimental data indicate that when one "crowds" rates, i.e., put so many of them in a small space that one exceeds their tolerance for "togetherness," they begin to attack one another and the incidence of ailments such as heart disease rises rapidly. But these are not rats that have chosen to live together. They have been placed in an experimental situation. Crowded city conditions are intensely difficult. I confess to having felt murderous impulses toward my less thoughtful and aware neighbors from time to time. On the other hand, the first seven years of my marriage--which included the best years--were lived in a studio apartment. Because our love had, at base, a deep respect for each other long before we thought of taking the respect to another place, we could be "alone" together in one room. We could give each other space, especially in such close proximity. It sounds as though your experience is with women who do not give space. Or demand it for themselves.
