You missed the fact that inexperienced women exist too, that putting off dating until one is older is actually better for some people, and that real human beings are so much more complicated than a set of generalised rules would make you expect. Of course, I'll concede that this is probably not the sort of thing Hammy wants (or perhaps needs) to hear right now.

3) Do you think Blu-Ray is really all that and a bag of chips, or are we just fooling ourselves into buying into yet another round of reissues leading up to the technology that actually will be with us for at least a few decades, the way television and the telephone (and home PCs) have been?
1. A little of both. I'm interested in a lot of things I'm not too sure about -- that's why I want to learn more about what other people think!
2. The former, because I can't actually, you know, talk to people otherwise. (unless a few people at the social event in question happen to be talking about something I know something about, anyway)
3. I don't have or particularly want a Blu-Ray player. My parents have one, and it's pretty, but not really worth the extra money to me and my far more limited budget.

1. Why do so many people lead less exciting lives when they get married and/or have children?
2. At what point in a relationship do you know it's time to end it?
3. Since dating is so fraught with pain and complications, why do people even bother?
