1 % is a number often tossed about here. Or less than 1%. Most here [probably] know what I am talking about. Regardless of what the actual # is...
IF it is 1 % or less, that would mean that very few men would be aware of this CDing thing. Or be out in the RW looking to "bust" other CDers. Does that translate to ONLY men who are CDers are out there actually trying to spot CDers?
And what about women? Unless they know someone who fits "under the umbrella" or have dated one... They are NOT "looking to bust" CDers either.
In countless threads, every time they come up, the vast majority say they would not approach another CDer out in the wild. And not coincidentally, the vast majority say they would not want to be approached.
So is the FEAR [of Society] mostly in one's head?
An analogy might be...
Pulling out/almost pulling out in front of a motorcyclist or someone zooming along on a bicycle. [from a stop sign] Ever done it or come close because you were looking for cars? Unless one rides a motorcycle or a bicycle on a regular basis, this is not hard to do. Either one can easily be hidden behind the A pillar in a cursory glance left or right. You are far more likely to spot either one IF you are actually looking for them.
This is not a call for folks to flee their closets in droves and/or throw caution to the wind.
But if you DO have itchy feet to get out there...
Participation or response not mandatory of course.
