A bunch of statistical mumbo jumbo.  I think his thesis is too many
"womens" in a polarized field will cause the bandwidth to be too
finely detailed, thus making it very difficult to hear the echos,
especially if you've drunk too much cordial.

Just ignore it.

For a "nice guy" you certainly ask rude questions.

   I, for one, would like to start discussions on the following topics:
(Insert tongue in cheek)

 - Why do women like jerks?
 - A hate using condoms.  My SO won't go on the pill.  What do I do?
 - I'm a nice guy.  Why can't I get a date?
 - Where can I go to meet women other than bars and typical pick-up joints?
 - I'm getting old and wet my pants.  And all frats suck too...

     Your answer is completely irrelevant.  One
of the options was "if you were sure you wouldn't
get caught" which is assumed for the sake of
argument to be possible.

     I'm not quite sure what the point of all

Actually I wasn't refering to just romantic partners, but friends as well.
And, yes, we're talking about something more emotional than a discussion.
Several of the people (with whom I have 'discussions') seem to think that
if there's no obvious emotion attached to what I'm saying then it isn't
important to me.

Like "could you do your dishes more often ? I did them again because the
smell of the food rotting on them was turning my stomach" in a quiet tone
of voice gets me an "all you ever do is nag" response, whereas something
similar said with lot's of emotion actually got my room-mate to regularily do
her dishes for a week.

I've noticed this myself lately.  I almost ALWAYS go for Tall guys now, and
it never used to be that way.  

The other thing that has sorta strangely happened is that I'm not really 
attracted to white guys lately.  
When I go out to bars or clubs nowadays, it's the chicano and black men that
I take notice of...(so I guess you could even say I have a thing for Black hair)

Really?  Oh, gosh--is my face red!  I should have realized that your
story was just too absurd to be true--nobody would name her iguana
"Clyde."   

But since you were the third person this month to ask a question about
her boyfriend, a baseball bat, and an iguana, I'd simply assumed that
you were just yet another of these poor folks in that situation. 
(Granted, the other situations weren't *exactly* like yours--usually
the slogans were different--but for some reason, they were always beer
slogans--and in one case they boyfriend was doing something much more
interesting with a catcher's mitt instead of a bat, but on the whole it
seems to be a pretty common problem that probably is some sort of metaphor
for the decay of moral values in out technological society.)

A good piece to do this with is Berlioz's "Symphonie Fantastique".  I think one
has to admire a composer that would write a piece about a love-lorne writer
who tries to OD on opium, but instead has this wild trip, especially the 
girlfriend/witch motiff (Berlioz had insight  :-)  ).
