Actually, I don't think he would be any different -- but the behavior would be perceived differently in the vast majority of situations in which women are present (other than, maybe, like if one were in a strip club or some other venue in which it was clearly understood and/or expected that the women were present solely for sexual purposes) and/or if the exact same behavior were to be directed at women. I mean, certainly, that is not the case with all women all the time......but, as a general rule, I do think it holds true.

Clearer?????

..........Well, actually I take that back -- he would be different......because, if he were interested in women and thought that that kind of behavior was likely to get him very far, very often, that would probably be indicative of serious lack of social skills an emotional intelligence on his part. And his social skills are actually pretty amazing.
