Dear Deanna!
I’ve fallen victim to society’s
double standard that pertains
to dating. I'm single and have
no intentions o f being in a rela­

agenda. I feel I should be able to
see as m any people I w ant w ith­
out being judged. Why can men
go around the world and sam ple
everything but when w om en do
it, w e’re called out o f our name
and everything else? —Karla;

Dear Karla:
A man leaves his dirt in the
street but a w om an takes hers
home. You need to be honest
and see your lifestyle for what it
is. Y ou’re footloose, fancy free
and aren’t responsible. W om en
are expected to behave with mor­
als and values when it com es to
dating and life in general. If you
choose otherw i se, as only a fool­
ish w om an will, then you d e­
serve all the hard knocks that
com e your way.
