Not even for one second.  You are women that we haven't hit.  Yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's harsh, but it's the truth.  There's a whole ladder system that is employed by both women and men.  The problem is, women have two ladders "Partner" and "Friend".  Men have one.  "Mate".  No matter what goes on with us, women either move up the ladder or move down.  With women, if we move up the "Friend" ladder, we move down the "Mate" ladder, and vice versa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, that's in a nutshell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can admit that I do have a couple of female friends and they are truly friends.  But best believe, they didn't get there easily.  And please believe that I was out to "mate" with them first.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">E.
