Dawn, I knew if I waited long enough and checked your sigs, sooner or later you

I wonder of this is where she learned it?

I don't know, Trygve.  I'm sure you're right, but I'm having trouble
making sense of that last sentence - female lack of *which* hormone
exactly?  Do you think he's looking for a female who scorns hunky guys who
have a life, but still could be called an estrogen-crazed lust bunny? 
Maybe I should just email him.  Ya think?

It's true!  I would think anyway.  although i think it would be more accurate
to say that the two people react poorly to the smell, thay are incompatable.
They are not necessarily compatible if they react well to the smell, but their
chances are a hell of a lot better.

	[about a relationship going bad, much elided]

- Met a wonderful man 3 years ago, and our relationship was perfect.  We 
- fit like gloves. We were mutually supportive with family problem

- perfect couple.  Ad nauseum.
- 
- So a couple of weeks ago, he drops in and announces that he thinks 
- it's time for him to date around.  He still cares a great deal for me, 
- I'm still very important to him, he doesn't want to lose me, and all 
- that jazz.  He doesn't even know when he'll start to date, he just 
- wants the option open.  
- 
- Then Monday night, he phones to chat and when I mentioned the function 
- he missed, he said sorry, he had been busy.   He also said we hadn't 
- made definite plans. We had.  Even if they hadn't been definite, a 
- phone call would have been appropriate.
- 
- Mutual friends have told me that he does care for me, and I should be 
- patient, give him time and space, and keep the lines of 
- communication open.
- 
- I love this guy very much, but I'm doubtful that I should continue to 
- put up with this behavior.  I should mention that this is extremely 
- unlike him, that he's usually a very responsible, very dedicated, caring man.

	Drop him like a bad habit.

	You don't need to hate him, or think ill of him, or
psychoanalyze him or anything, but it sounds a lot like the lines of
communication are very open, but you don't want to believe them.

	It could well be that if you wait it out, he will realize
what a mistake he's making in avoiding you, but I wouldn't bet on it.

	You say three years, and now he's looking around?  
My bet is he always will.  He doesn't dislike you, he's just
afraid he'll miss something if he sticks with you. He wants
to keep his options open; find out where the grass is greenest.  
As long as he believes there is a possibility for a relationship that he
perceives as 'better' in some way, he'll be looking for it.
Is that what you want in a partner?  It doesn't sound like it from
what you write.

	You say this isn't like him.  Sudden personality changes
should result in a physical exam by a doctor, but it's 
pretty likely that this really *is* exactly the way he is, but you
haven't seen it before.

	Honor?  Talk is cheap.

	You're old enough to be able to evaluate situations
like this when you see them from the outside -- try to look at it 
as if it were two people you don't know.  What would you think 
the solution would be for them?

	I don't want to sound negative, but then I don't see
getting out of a bad situation as a negative thing.  You've got
to take care of yourself, first.

	I hope things  work out well for you.

Say pretty puhhhlllease.

|I don't understand why guys feel they have to grow their hair long...

I think what Lori is saying is that since short hair is currently "in
fashion" those that choose to grow their hair long are not being a slave
to fashion thus might tend to be more independant thinkers.  It's real easy
to be, as the woman in the Subaru commercial said, "just another pathetic
sheep in the herd".  

|I prefer guys with short hair..I find that really attractive!

I wear my hair the length I want because that is how I like it.  So, it's
Fashionably Incorrect.  Why would I to look like everyone else.  If my hair
happens to be longer than a MOTAS and it makes a difference to her, well,
it's probably just as well that she wouldn't be interested in me.

Interesting, if this is still the case;  Imagine a hypothetical relationship

What kind of "schools" do women go to?  Arts and crafts?  When you

Mark,

Next time the "let me wash and brush your hair while you read news" line
doesn't work, why don't you try the above line as your backup?  I think
that sounds like a thoroughly charming idea for a first date.

(Or am I just weird?)

I've found that the features that I appreciate most in a woman change in
accordance to the features I most enjoy about my current SO.  In my last
serious relationship my SO had an elegant neck that I loved to nuzzle.
So I often admired nice necks (and short bouncy hair) on other women.  My
curent sweetie has the nicest ass ..., and I've found myself watching
(and evaluating) other women  for the appropriate softness/firmness ratio.

[Beginning to obsess so totally on the need for sex and affection that I
almost invited that cute undergrad lab technician out to lunch-- 2 months
since my sweetie last visited, and 3 weeks to go untill our next tryst.]

Actually, I have the same problem with deliveries, repairs, pickups, etc.
I figure they just assume I'm a CEO with nothing better to do with my
life.  (Sometimes it seems like I'm doing well if they show up on the
correct day or my trade show display ends up in the correct state.)

Weeell, I don't know if that would make the shipping people any more
punctual, but it would make answering the door lots more fun.  (Have
to get a taller front door for proper effect, though.)
