Ya' can't understand Merg unless you understand that he's in a different universe. That makes him a poor fit with everyone in this universe who has no knowledge of his universe. When I was ignorant of the universe he refers to, I would have thought Merg is a straight out kook. Well, he is a kook, judging him by the universe that most of us know. But what he's talking about, with respect to young women in their teens and twenties, is flat out on the mark. On the mark that is, for at least 80 if not 90% of young women. Almost everything I have ever known about logic does not apply to this situation. It is quite amazing. That he got as many non-fishing chicks to commit to his and Vhawk's fishing trip in the first place, even though most later bailed, is a testament to the technique, method, belief system, whatever.
