It's the times in which we live. Quite understandable. One thing you  
can consider is getting a male friend, even a husband of a friend, to  
put the answering machine voice on your phone. I have done that for  
single ladies I met in my real estate business. You arrange it so they  
have to call you and you do not answer the phone, let them hear the  
male voice and message first. Then you can decide to call them.

Might freak out your relatives and friends unless you warn them.
