We have no way of telling the murderous freaks apart from the ordinary guys. Nobody wears a label and the freaks would lie if they did.

There is always going to be a lack of trust there.

They could join groups to meet women in safe conditions, so that they can be assessed in group behavior, and use casual dating and meeting each other's families and sharing holidays and....

you know, the stuff people USED to do.

But no, then you don't get to "score". You end up married, with children.

I feel no compassion for the impatient, the predatory, and the cuckoos who want to get the nest without building it.

We men think nothing of walking home alone after dark. But the woman is not only worrying about the next date with this guy, but about every shadow, every noise, every car going by, etc. Another example of privilege being unrecognized.

This is a protected group. If you'd delete that comment, that would be great.

If not, I'll have to block you and have the main host review your status. Thank you.

I've never heard an African-American say that. Why? Because by intent it's agreeing with a broad (and negative) statement about African-Americans by someone who isn't one of them.

"Not all men" when said by men to women is defensive. Period.
