Actually, it's good advice for women - especially girls. You don't end up in an STD clinic staying where people can see you."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

I also hadn't looked into this - though I suspected he was just saying - "sorry I'm not going to allow myself to be alone with a woman - Too risky*". Seems a totally reasonable thing to do - especially these days.
Sometimes we are in closed labs where I work. I usually just leave if the only other person in the lab is female and I don't know her very well.

I do feel sorry for the young and single guys. Where can they safely meet a future wife now? The options are getting very limited.
