Doug:

I have never found "it runs the women off fast" to be of any real
importance--granted, it may run the ones off which take themselves far too
seriously--or, even the ones who have some "axe to grind" and are naturally
tending towards a male/female conflict--but think about--those are best
avoided anyway!

Better to find this out right up front...

Warmest regards,
John
