These topics get out of control because we generalize what a group wants and then the individuals who don't fit into that group begin to give their responses. If a woman started a similar thread and I replied with something like: "I don't want a woman who's ever worked at Outback Steakhouse" then a woman who has worked at Outback steakhouse will reply in a heated manner and someone else will respond to her in a heated manner stating that I was only talking about myself and not all men and then another woman would respond and so on and so on and so on...
What I find humorous is every time we have a thread like this we have to have the: "I/He/She don't/doesn't speak for all men/women/chickens" responses and talks. Oh, yeah, and the if-you-don't-like-what-you-see-use-the-back-button talk has to be reiterated as well.

This is true for everyone, I think. But does it get you a boyfriend or girlfriend? I can respect Gina Gershon all I want, but that alone won't make me her boyfriend.
