COMMENT FROM A WOMAN

Dear David,

One of my friends wants to slap the sh** out of you!
Your advice to the guy at the gym was totally out of line
and rude. The guy looked at a woman too long. The woman then
told him she had a boyfriend. He then said, "I realize that
is a major accomplishment for you, however, it it quite
normal for a woman to have a boyfriend."

First of all, the comment insinuates that the woman is
a lesbian, or does not deserve a decent guy in her life.
Lesbians in this country are in a minority and their rights
are protected by law. All women have the right to choose
their partner, whether male or female. Women also have the
right to choose the most compatible male available. This
person, in my friends opinion, does not deserve the time of
the day from that particular woman for being so insulting
to her face.

Second, the comment slaps the woman in the face.
The woman at the gym may have problems finding and keeping
a boyfriend. She may be shy. That comment is a good way to
injure a woman's delicate psyche.

I urge you to reconsider the advice given to that
man. I am not the only one to say this. Maybe you should
quit writing this column and give the job to a woman!!!

Thank You,

B.R.
