me to see the growing numbers of handsome intelligent sensitive males the kind women flip over frequenting the gay bars of America Even married men are going in that direction You wouldnt believe the husbands in shopping centres many with small children in tow givmg other men the eye What do you think of all this am Bothcred and Bewildered Dear and Women still want to be pursued by men and there is plenty of evidence that men still want to do the pursuing Most of those handsome intelligent sensitive men you see in gay barsand yes the married men with children who are giving other men the
