At a middle$-$class condominium building, residents gathered for their monthly meeting to discuss issues and concerns about their homes.

One woman, Elaine, said, $$My biggest worry right now is that there are a lot of people that I know aren$$t residents walking around the halls. They$$re all men, and some of them look pretty creepy. Has someone been letting people into the building without knowing who they are, or has someone given out the entry code?$$

Another resident, David, said, $$I$$ve seen them, too. Most of them seem to be going to one apartment$$ the one that the new female tenant moved into. I think she$$s going to be trouble if she$$s letting guys like that in here.$$

Ron, who was chairman of the residents' board, said, $$Hang on$,$ David. You have a lot of visitors over to your apartment, too. We don$$t know anything about these people or the new resident.$$

David replied, $$The people who come to visit me are all women. I don$$t think they$$re going to scare anyone or cause trouble. I mean, I$$m a guy. I$$m supposed to have a lot of dates over. If a woman has that many men over, she$$s doing something she shouldn$$t be$.$
