CC.... you've been up all night pondering this ? 0104 to 0455 ? You must be drinking some STRONG tea, maid.

There may be an iota of truth there, in that I know a lot of guys who don't trust women. Men are much more romantic, or "love" driven, than women when it comes to choosing a mate. Women choose based on the abilities of a man to be a good father. Men choose based on "love". Yup, they think with their dicks... until they mature, somewhere around thirty or forty years old. So, when a man takes on this attitude, due to a failed relationship(s) in which he believes the woma(e)n has(ve) treated him unfairly, and he is not yet mature, he may "proceed" without any intention of "calling her later". It's all about about trust and maturity... do unto others before they do unto you.

Love is the illusion that not all women are the same.
