Maybe she's a b itch, maybe she was having a bad day. Maybe she got bad news... There could be a multitude of reasons....
Just as some women aren't bitchy in this situation, I'm sure some men have put women down when they've been hit on....

In most cases, these women were not the type the entity should have been "investing" in, and it was more about their "eye candy" value.
Hmm I never thought that had anything to do with male feminist types, championing women, more to do with crusty old men wanting to keep their eyelash batting, short skirt wearing eye candy around... And yes I've seen that.

Essentially, a list about as long as half my arm.
There's a fake Venice ??!

There will always be rude people of both genders...

Being from LA, I tend to simultaneously think of Venice Beach, not far from where I grew up. Also, there's a Venice, FL, I believe, and there is definitely a Naples, FL, and it is NOT cheap.
