Hmm... But if you had had a bad experience with a couple or single girl because they were flakey or jerky, they wouldn't hurt the reputation of couples or women? I understand what Bob has been saying all along, he just pushes buttons to hard.

We'd probably define the specifics of what we didn't like about that single female or the couple and not apply an overgeneralization. At least not based on a single experience. If we met several single girls and every one was a jerky flake -- you don't think we'd probably decide that this part of the lifestyle wasn't for us? Of course we would - after a few, we'd assume that "they're all nuts"
We
would let a single experience direct us in decisions though -- we once got involved with a couple that had serious legal issues in the works. He was on probation for something he said he didn't do. They were overly stressed both emotionally and financially.
Would we think twice about getting involved with another couple in that same situation -- yep, we would.
Does that mean we discriminate against people on probation -- well if you want to call it that -- but we're allowed to set our own standards. Just as some people don't want to see us because of his or my age.
None of this answers the question of "why couples don't invite singles..." though -- it simply addresses some reasons why those reasons may be faulty. We can't find fault with the reasons before we define them can we?
