This piece has evoked some amazing reactions, the majority of them imparted to me privately. Yes, all of them were from men.

Is It Really That Bad Out There, Guys?
I’ve been “out of the game” for more than thirty years, so I don’t really know what it’s like to be unwillingly unmated. I do know that there are a lot of men, from young adults all the way up to my age and beyond, who are either in that category or in an …
