agreed MMario, and I am aware sometime women are apt to be MORE manipulative than men in this behavior (I have seen some scarily predatory women in my day); but as for sheer numbers, I think more (hetero) men than women are likely to lie jsut to get laid...

I kinda agree with harpgirl, Shakey Joe sounds like a self-centered idiot. Although at least he got us talking about somehting besides the war.
Reminds me of the old skit on Saturday Night Live; a man is asked by a police officer, "So, even when your girlfriend tried to burn your house down and posion your dog, you stayed with her--?" The man responds with a blank stare and then says "Well, the sex was great."

Practice safe sex, everyone, even though it doesn't guarantee no spread of STD's (virtually nothing short of abstinence prevents the spread of HPV/genital warts which is becoming very prevalent these days; no big danger for men usually but can lead to cervical dysplasia and sometimes cervical cancer in women...)

And if pregnancy/ticking biological clocks are an issue, there are any number of fun activities besides intercourse to engage in...
