Pogues, Roches, Doors, Beatles, early Kinks, UB40, Tosh,

  Well, that's the pot calling the kettle black.  Try to be understanding

I am a SWM in search of a woman.  Most people would describe me as a
nerd.  I'm 6'0", 28 yo, and 190 lbs.  I enjoy working on the computer,
reading books, going to the library, learning a new language, calculating
the uncalculatable, and watching national geographic.  Occassionally I
have been known to eat chinese, watch people dance, and think about
jogging.  My favorite sports are darts, bowling, and watching Sir Charles
Barkley dunk the ball.  I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, or use vulgar
language.

You should be a REAL female (NO PENIS), blonde or redhead, large breasts
(but not to large), about 5'6", no more than 130 lbs, highly educated
(optional), with a bright cheery smile (I like Kim Bassinger LIPS).
You should enjoy playing super nintendo (if you have your own, thats a
plus), wearing sexy lingerie, high heels, and leather, but not afraid
to put on a pair of high-top converse tennis shoes.  I expect you to
make the bed, clean the bathrooms, cook the meals, vacuum, take out
the trash, and raise our children.  It would help if you have gardening
skills and are a virgin (however, experience has a positive side).
Hobbies are encouraged, such as stamp collecting, baking, and being
a whip-snapping dominating mistress (only in play).  You should
have an appreciation for music and if you play an instrument even
better, especially the cello.

Well that's about it.  By the way, I live in San Diego area about
one quarter mile from the beach, make a LOT OF MONEY, and drive a
ZR-1 corvette that goes almost as fast as a speeding bullet (once
we're married you can drive the car, maybe).

Coz,

Nowhere in my post did I say that women DON'T like men who avoid them.
Some do.  I told Mark to be whatever he felt comfortable being and then
went on to relate a couple of my own experiences.  I'm not sure what
you're screaming "BS" about.  *shrug*

First I apologize for copying all the above, but after reading both, I can't
help but wonder...  Maybe sensitivity is not what's turning women off, but
rather the lack of backbone and sourgrapes attitude.

I know I will regret this......it seems to me, after seeing so many of  
your posts with the same attitude, that you got burned pretty good by  
someone. But, why are you letting it color the rest of your life?
Move on, and get over it.

	I'm sure, most of your responses will say that being sensitive will
attract more girls than treating them badly, but in real life, things are more
complicated than that.  A female friend of mine used to date a scumbag.  He'd
cheat on her, lie to her, and generally not treat her with the respect she
deserved.  What happened, though, every time she got mad at him?  He say
something like "Baby, I'm sorry I hurt you.  I love you."  and she'd come
running back.  I always though she deserved more than him, and one day she
after 2 years with him, she thought so too.

How do you know I'm human?

Can you forget you're human?

Or do you mean forget that they're stuck with it?

I've actually found truth in the opposite stance.
The best way to get over woman problems is to ge
away from women.  I don't have woman problems because
I'm not a woman, but when I'm with women, of course
then the problems arise.  

Not always, mind you.  It of course depends on the
woman.  And my current mood.  Any my level of libido.

only a superuser can access (like a hypnotist).

Seems to me that women giving up on guys makes more sense since few of them
