That's because you keep choosing the same kind of guys. So, it's really not them, it's you.

Huh?? I know what it is. I already said it's approriate in my post. I said in vet medicine. The last time I checked (in the clinics I've worked in), that's "where there are dog people" and "where we all speak English". I just don't like the word. I prefer to use "female dog". Neither way is wrong.
