I sat next to a very successful, attractive gal at work a few years ago. One day we were talking about relationships in NYC and she said, "it's a guy's world out there" meaning that you can take your picks when you walk in to a place.

I found that crazy, being a product of the 80's and 90's as far as dating (and it was quite the opposite).

It means they are apt to be more independent, less leachy, can take care of themselves and their finances. I am looking for a mate not a daughter, and that's a foundation for me. So I find it very hard to believe that there are men who ARE afraid of women like that.
