When the available women significantly outnumber men, which is the case on many campuses today, “courtship behavior changes in the direction of what men want,”

This is another example of "apex fallacy."

The "men" being referred to are only the men that the women are already throwing themselves at.

Certainly there weren't any women on college campus concerned with what I (or men like me) wanted.

(granted I was in pretty terrible shape back then - but in high school, when I was in good shape, and pretty girls took interest in me, it was never about what I wanted, that's for sure - or rather - if I had wanted and been capable of acting the cad - I could have, but it was precisely because I was sentimental that they didn't want me)

I've always been a sentimental fellow; and never had issues with girls.

Never had issues? Weren't you married civilly?

That is, didn't you stop practicing the Faith to find a wife?

Yes I was married civilly; but the circuмstances I found myself in, and with, at that time are far too complex and personal to go over here, apart from the fact that I was wrong to have done so. The point is, I've never been a 'jerk' type with women, either before or after tradition, and never had issues because of it.

But the bottom line is that you didn't get along with women by acting like a devout Catholic, did you?

I think Graham alluded to this earlier... about being sort of a mean-guy with women, and them liking it, while pretending otherwise. I never believed in that. I think some women must like that, and I know many of them, but I suppose I was never that interested in that type, as I never had to deal with one. My wife was, and is, the exact opposite to that type. There were never any 'games' (well, they're games to me) like Graham describes, and which I'm familiar with.
