A serious and worrying subject? A few guys can't find a bird? Really?

[jambutty]

Oh ok.

[ToraToraTora]

yes JD, but the worrying thing is they seem to want to take it out on society generally.

The worse thing is the pressure not to try to change... after all the nerdy 19 year old could well mature into a perfectly reasonable man who would be able to make a relationship. I think it is sad and worrying that a group of people feel this way and it is poisoning their ability to be part of society.

Jackdaw ,off topic but your comment reminds me of an old joke.
Why did General DeGaulle have Greek letters around his cap?
Because it would have looked stupid with French letters around it.

[Jackdaw33]

I remember that one.
