DEAR ABBY: What is up with all these unfortunate women who have out-of-wedlock pregnancies and bad relationships? Most men don't have these problems and don't mention them if they do.
To these women: If you'd get to know your partners and a little about their past, stuff like this wouldn't happen.
Women are like fish. If you have the right bait, they are easy to lure in. Once you've sampled the goods, then you throw them back.
I'm not saying I'm like this, but I have seen it. If the fish were smart enough to see the hook, then they wouldn't get caught! So, Dear Abby, please tell me why some women think they are so smart?
P.S. By the way, I'm in the ninth grade. -- FISHERMAN IN NEWARK, DEL.
DEAR FISHERMAN: Woman aren't fish, and it isn't a question of intelligence. When people of either sex become emotional about a love interest, they often think with their hearts and not their heads. Have you heard the old saying, "Love is blind"? It's the reason the phrase was coined.
