Throw the losers back

This is in response to the letter Peter Boam from San Pedro wrote after he read “He Opened Up -- And Then She Shut Him Down,” Jan. 4 [Letters, Jan. 11].

I really can see how very sensitive men are even though they hide it from us toughies: women.

And I see it not only in the whining and complaining nature of the original article, but in Boam’s sad-sack response.

I say to both the author of the article and the ‘Feedback’ letter: Dump the loser. She doesn’t deserve you.

Anyone who sets you up to totally lose is a manipulator and borderline abuser.

I have met many a man who shut me down and put me down. Did I decide all men are stooges and worthless? Nope. Try, try again. We need each other to find our way in the world.
