  • If the drop happened in the 90's...

    If the drop happened in the 90's, then I would say fear of AIDS was a big part of it.

    Sure, AIDS "happened" in the 80's, but as a high school student in the late 80's, I can tell you it didn't really register that white, hetero kids could get it. Only gays & minorities got AIDS in the 80's (attitude & perception, not truth. Relax, people).

    By the early to mid '90s, the truth had dawned on people, so much so that even invincible high school kids new the danger was real. Sex could kill you.

  • Maybe they ran out of things to check...

    [Read the article: Men on eHarmony seem obsessed with women who are "clean"]

    The writer states they must pick 10 things they don't like. 10 things is a lot. Picking things you don't like eliminates possibilities. These men want to meet someone. So they pick the 3 or 5 or 8 things they really don't like, and then they say "darn, I got to pick more. Hmm... clean. Yeah, I like clean women! That seems like a no-brainer."

    I think the writer is reading too much into this.

    I love brownie edges, and especially corners. (I also like bread crusts & muffin tops) My wife loves the middles. This arrangement works quite well, as you might imagine.

    For me, getting this pan would be selfish.

    If the targeted male spurns the temptress's advances, I don't suppose THAT ends up as evidence in court, huh?

    This is just sleazy. As if women don't already have the upper hand in a divorce.
