women don't have to be attracted at all!

I certainly wasn't saying that LW shouldn't make an effort to attract women. I'm female myself, and I'd be happy to have more people who look like me around, and I agree with you about the reasons why as well.

The key part of my sentence there is "via discussion of babies," because as a female, I wouldn't like that particular method of attracting women at all. I think there might be other ways that would be more effective and that also wouldn't dilute the substance of the common interests that bring us here.
