Women and men.....sneaky psychological vetting on CS...

Probably fair to say, consistent with all other marked differences here and elsewhere between the sexes, that women get much more mail/notice/likes/ favorites/etc. from men than the other way around. So one might think that we men would immediately follow along whenever a lady shows even a bit of such interest thusly. Some may, perhaps most do. I actually try to respond to all such contact, at least initially. But with CS hardly being a lovefest of sobriety, groundedness, and other signals of sound mental health, regrettably, one must, with all due diligence, do a little vetting and screening out. Many ways to do so, of course. But I prefer psychological subtlety. Sure, it cuts down the numbers of possibilities early on, but even with high specificity, I'll take higher sensitivity, keeping the numbers of false positives higher, at the regrettable cost of false negatives. Epidemiology and public health. But which fellow won't follow clever banter no matter how dangerous the trip? Now noone will ever look my way. Ouch?

V, is the long winded version of " I screen out the nutters " dunno laugh
On target, as always, Zman. But just trying to focus on all the methods available to us all, while admitting to the major foible of following great intlligent banter. The much smaller male Latrodectus maculans spider, sadly.
How do u weed them out exactly??
Years of training and practice, combined with a sence of self protection, humor, banter, casting a wide net, having learned by many errors, being a father, time in the clinical trenches, extensive reading and willingness to cavort with all sorts of folks, humilty, groundedness, hope, daring, interest inothers, use of oracles (above all, the I), hitting a real botom, time in self help programs, writing the memoirs, shutting up sometimes---and just listening, (goddess gave us two ears and one mouth, no?), and lots more.
Oh, and how could I forget-------PATIENCE, enormous patience.
