Hey, that's a piece of interesting information about the moose pheromones! I've
never heard about it before. As I said, in Sweden we eat them (it tastes like
something between veal and deer. Very nice with garlic and mushrooms.). Maybe
we should start rubbing ourselves with them instead. That might bring up
our notoriously low nativity (hopefully it would bring down our interest rates,
too. But that does not seem very likely.). 
  I agree that moose are cute. On postcards. Or on television. But they are not
very cuddly (is that an english word?). They are strong and quite aggressive and
don't keep away from other animals. One of the major causes of death accidents on
Swedish roads are collisions with moose. Personally I prefer wolves. They have
an undeserved bad reputation. I don't know anything about their pheromones, but I
gather they smell a bit like dogs. When I was a kid my family had a terrier, so I
actually find the smell of 'wet dog' pleasant. But it doesn't turn me on.
(thus supporting the moose-pheromone theory by exclusion).

What is "Northern Exposure" ? (except for what you are submitting yourself to by
reading this)

P.S. I think piglets and bunny-rabbits and rain-deer are cute, too. But I eat them. With garlic, preferrably. I must have a split personality.

If I go to a bar, that reason is (9 out of 10 times) is that I want to see

the drink isn't always a necessity.  I do try to avoid picking up women

A visually oriented sexuality as opposed to a scent-oriented one doesn't
suggest 'more civilized' or 'more developed' to me.

I have heard of people who tried to start a relationship with someone but
it didn't work out because the person didn't smell right. Not that they
smelled bad--just wrong. 

Sometimes I couldn't work up a strong sexual attraction to
someone I was involved with, and couldn't quite figure out why--maybe it
was (partly) that they smelled wrong. I have definitely noticed the 
reverse -- sometimes I am strongly aroused by someone's scent. 

I have a friend who has lost most of her sense of smell after a nose
operation. She claims that she has also lost most of her sex drive (to her
dismay).

Help me out here, guys (and girls).

I've had guys stick their elbows out purposely to brush my tits as I walk past. 
How can they possibly get off on elbow contact?  The last I heard the elbow was
not an erogenous zone and it's rather painful to collide with one with your

You gave yourself away by talking about "your ex" without using words like

Though your question could be viewed as a rhetorical question, I'll provide
some possible answers.  (Note, I do NOT know any details about this
accident, as I only heard a 30 second spot on the news about it.)

- The crash could have occurred shortly after take-off.  Under 1000 feet AGL
is is foolish to exit the plane as there isn't much chance that you will
safely get your parachute deployed.  Between 1000 and 2000 feet is iffy.

- The plane could have stalled, because of improper weight distribution,
while they were prepared for exiting, and the pilot may not have been able
to get the plane back under control.  When control is lost the passengers
can have a difficult time attempting to get to the door.

Too low.  Generally, below 1000 feet AGL, you try to ride it in.  Above 1000
feet, you try to get out, and wish the pilot luck.  I believe the plane was
somewhere around 100 or 200 feet (problems on takeoff, then a bad forced
landing).  The victims were mostly students and instructors.  Pity.
For more details look in rec.skydiving.

     I will on occasion read news, but not like I did earlier this year
and before.  My schedule has changed quite a bit.  Work takes up some time.
At the beginning of April, I began working out with weights every other day.
The pre-workout meal, workout, post workout meal, and carbohydrate beverage
takes between 5 and 6 hours.  Later on this month, after my left wrist and
forearem heal, I will again go back to working out with weights, but only
three times a week, and I will be continuing aerobic exercises three days
a week for grand total of 6 exercise days a week.  The seventh day, I food
shop.  I have also been reading books, keeping up with current events by
reading the newspaper, sunbathing once a week, etc.  Doing what I like
to do on the net takes too much time, unfortunately.

     Later on, I may try to start a discussion, but not right now.

   I used to think so, too.  The problem is I get so into the activity
that I don't meet anyone.  For example, I originally got interested
in choirs when an LO said she was in one.  I kept at it and one year I 
was in 7 choirs.  The choirs had social events, but I could never attend
them because I always had another choir rehearsal. :-(

Believe it or not, different women like different things. I like
a bit of musk scented aftershave (but I like men with beards better so I
don't get this often. :-) Your best bet IMO is not to wear any scent on a
first date, then once you've dated someone a few times, ask her what kind 
of scent she likes.
