   Well, Mr. 7-on-a-1-to-10-scale (sounds like a quality improvement
   project opportunity, if you ask me), you finally spilled the beans.
   It appears that you're waiting for a magazine model to jump out of the

   your videotape collection of old Star Treks.  I know it's hard to
   make room on your calendar with such a busy schedule, but you've

   standards, (b) your lifestyle, or (c) your expectations.  But you're
   still young--you've got plenty of time to mull it over.  Good luck.

  You don't have relationships with cold people.  You have negotiations
constantly until someone leaves or dies.  Pre-sex contracts, pre-nuptial
agreements, rigidity, formality, drab ritual existance, everything 
planned, predicted into oblivion.  No passion, no music, no laughter.

   I think at times people feel remote or cold as you put it.  But
they often feel (yes I said that word) that something is wrong or 
missing.  In the journey of figuring out this they connect again with
someone.  The fact that you are asking questions about enjoyment of
experience shows me that you are not completely disconnected and
have some emotions.  It just seems that you are having problems with
the physical intimacy part.  Just find someone else who doesn't have
a touchy-feely nature and you may be fine.  As long as they understand
it is emotional distance that you desire too.  But then why would
someone want to know you that well or even at all?  And why would you
want to know someone else?

Ditto for me, too.  Christie Brinkley is not perfect, however.  She
has beady little eyes, and she has long hair that could be a little
fluffier.  Also, her legs are too long, and she has saggy breasts.
However, some people like tall girls with long legs.  Everyone is
different. Christie Brinkley is definitely a has-been.  Oh, she
had her day, and at the time she was considered to be really hot.
However, times and tastes have changed, and Cindy Crawford seems
to be hot right now, along with Claudia Schiffer.  However, if you
ask me, I think the best model out there right now is Joan Chen.  She
is absolutely stunning!

Well, different people have different criteria--you may not be willing to
consider dating someone on the basis of age, sex, philisophical leanings,
criminal record, neuroses and/or psychoses, or whatever; if religion is
what's important to Shelley for the type of relationship she is currently

factors you consider important?

Even if she were to abandon her preference for Jewish men, Shelley may
still want to stay within her species, so even though lemurs are awfully
cute, you may still be out of luck.  (On alt.fan.lemurs, though, you might
find more women willing to date at least most primate species.)

A few years ago, I was spending two months traveling around Europe, from England
to Ukraine, and (it seems) most places in between.  I stopped in Geneva for a 
week to visit some close friends.

Geneva (and Switzerland) is not cheap.  My friends took me and the neighbor down-
stairs out to dinner and spent a bundle, and it was just simple Chinese food.

A couple days later, my friends and I drove to the small town of Gruyere, where
they make the cheese of the same name.  We wandered around looking at the shops
and at the old buildings and decided to have lunch at an attractive restaurant
which overlooked the valley and the monestary and the sheep on the hillside and
so forth.  It was a pleasant lunch.  My friends drink a bit more than I do, so
we ended up with two empty bottles of wine at the end of the meal.

I decided to pick up the check, and gave the waiter my Visa card.  He came back
with the reciept for SF256.  Well, a Swiss Franc was ~$0.78.  A little moment to
multiply and I managed to supress a gasp, signing the tab.

This has given me perspective on going to lunch or dinner in this country.  All
I have to do is think of my $200 lunch.

Ankle bracelets are commonly used jewellery among females in India. I guess 
some schoolgirl must have brought them over to USA and then the trend 
slowly develops.

I am a 23 year old Computer Programmer in the San Luis Valley.

I am searching for a very special someone to spend time with
and share emotions with. You might be this person if you are:

Emotionally mature (physical age is not as important), fun-loving,
tomboyish, reasonable intelligent (I _must_ be able to talk with
you as an equal), and within 6 hours driving time of Alamosa.

I enjoy horses, Star Trek, Monty Python, long walks, all kinds
of music, romantic evenings, and having fun in general.

Above all, I am looking for someone honest. You need to know what
you want, be willing to ask for it, expect the same from me, and
be willing to talk about any differences that develope.

I hope to hear from you soon.
