The possible difference in RAEs [Reported Abduction Experiences] by
AWW/OMPs [Adult Women With/Out Male Partners] from other abductees
[RAErs] suggests the possible significance of other demographic and
personal factors of RAErs, including: age, income level, residence
[by ZIPcode and/or SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area)
or other unit], educational level, employment status/sector, diet,
religious/political/sexual/recreational preferences, IQ, talents,
ethnic/racial/linguistic heritage, physical characteristics, pets,
medical/psychiatric history/status, domestic situation, et cetera.
As applicable, histories of such factors should be studied too.
Speculations as to why AWW/OMPs may be differentially/preferentially
selected for abduction [and PLEASE don't take this too seriously]:
AWW/OMPs may emit pheromones or mental signals or body-electricity
signatures or other conscious or unconscious messages, that attract
alien abductors for various reasons, such as ease of abduction, or
suitability for processing/experimentation/implantation/biotransfer,
or curiosity, or reasons knowable only to alleged alien abductors,
or just because such signals make AWW/OMPs stand out like beacons.
AWW/OMPs may thus be considered [by aliens] as superior OR inferior,
and/or typical OR atypical, and/or susceptible OR challenging [easy
OR difficult], and/or conspicuous OR inconspicuous, and/or attractive
OR repulsive, and/or other attributes known only by alleged aliens.
AWW/OMPs may also, in the absence of any real aliens and abductions,
have a proclivity for reporting abduction experiences, for any of
a number of reasons which I won't delineate here, because I'm not
comfortable speculating about psychological motivations - I ain't
gonna diagnose from a distance, eh?
Whether AWW/OMPs are indeed atypically represented among reported
abduction experiencers is a matter for further study, but IMHO such
inquiry would be too narrow - to see if there ARE any statistically
significant psycho/demo/personal factors linking RAErs, research
into ALL of the above-listed factors should be undertaken. Without
a database of such factors, IMHO it'll be impossible to discern just
*what* [if anything] links RAErs, or differentiates RAErs from non-
RAErs, or otherwise discover clues as to what's happening here.
Are AWW/OMPs atypical RAErs? Insufficient data...
