just to see what would happen.

It was incredible. Constant IMs and emails guaranteeing me great sex and pictures of 'shopped 18" wood. One of them had a woman doing chinups on his bone and I kinda wish I still had that one. It was funny.

Anyway, the amount of abuse she/I got was amazing. Not just the constant come ons, but the anger when I didn't answer them, or blew them off. It was intimidating even though I knew it was all bogus. What real women put up with has got to be horrible.

Yeah, it's not all guys, and it's probably not all the time, but it looks like it's still enough guys to make life miserable. And it interferes with getting the job done.
