Don't leave, Liriodendron, I love your comments! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Another thought I had on this topic: I guess mortal women had also less opportunity to ever meet an Elf. In ME they stayed mostly at home (if they were not leaders like Haleth...)In the first age Men went to fight Morgoth under the command of Elf-lords and were generally drawn towards the Elves. The Elves themselves were not so much concerned with Humans (except Finrod Felagund) and had no reason to go visiting their homes where they would have the opportunity to meet mortal maidens.
