And what gives you that idea? It takes a while for a woman to realise that 
some of those guys who impressed her in the beginning are actually quite 
mediocre compared to the really good ones. You know the type, those who prey 
on beginners because they are the only ones they can impress with their 
leading?
Whatever, this is news to very few people in here, probably, but the truth 
is, on a lucky day, one may discover a new,talented, promising beginner 
among the men, while on a bad day, one only sees the same eternal 
intermediates who nevertheless may be so full of themselves that they have 
closed themselves off to polishing up their weak points, and the gender 
imbalance lets them get away with it.
