[pct-l] Why men are NOT happier hikers

[Mr. Los Angeles]

You don't need 10 reasons why males are not happy campers.  You only need
one, which is the one cited by Reinhold:  "there are far more hiker dudes
than hiker babes."  The fact that Reinhold cited this fact in support of
his supposition may reveal a couple of things about him.  Either:

1.  He is impaired in his ability to think logically, if you assume that
most male hikers are hetero, or

2.  If he is not logically impaired, he is expressing a point of view *from
his perspective.*

Now, if we assume No. 2, why type of male would be a happy camper in an
overwhelmingly male population?  Hmmmm .....
