I guess we can cross off Diane from the possible POW list.

Perhaps you're just not considering the advantages of exersize.  Many here
recently have claimed that they have "bulked up" because of all the exersize
that they're doing?

Actually, they just suspend ovulation until their bodyfat goes up--it's
a temporary condition and isn't confined to bodybuilders (it's fairly
common among competitive runners, for example); I have not heard of any
permanent effects.

You might want to page through a copy of "Muscle and Fitness" sometime--
pictures of Cory are in just about every issue.  She's cute and doesn't
look at all like she's about to rupture.  Keep in mind also that 
bodybuilders will have a lower bodyfat percentage right around a contest
than they will have the rest of the year and that they "pump up" before
getting on that stage.  (And, with posing, they stay pumped up--anybody
who doesn't think that bodybuilding-type posing is hard work should try
it sometime.)  If you took a look at them off-stage even later that 
evening, they wouldn't look nearly so extreme.

          bodybuilding--it wasn't all that long ago when I was talking

Why is that bigoted?

Everyone has some set of criteria for who they'll date/marry. Who are you
to decide that one persons criteria are wrong, and anothers are OK?

If I believe in a religion that says it's wrong to marry outside the
religion, why am I wrong for believing it? It's different from your
belief that it's OK to date people of other religions, but who are you
to decide that everyone should accept YOUR belief rather than mine? 

Aren't you really the bigot for refusing to respect the beliefs of anyone
who disagrees with you?

Hey!  These girls were chasing after guys all over the place.  They'd ask
classmates to come over and study with them.  They'd ask guys to come to 
dinner in the dorms with them.  I think they made themselves quite available
for dating.  Unfortunately, most of them suffered from Nice Girl (TM) s

Heh?! I like this, mistaken-conception insurance. You're in good hands with
All State.  Both men and women pay for the insurance, and then a claims
adjuster gets to decide compensation after reviewing the fault or no-fault
basis of the accident. The potential mother's wishes on the dispensation of
the accident will be considered, of course, as will the amount of personal
responsibility that both parties are willing to take for future financial
costs when it comes to assessing insurance rates for each party in the
future. 

I can hear it now, heavy breathing, fumbling sound of clothing being
undone, and then a whispered - uh honey have you got protection - Well of
course dear, Trojan and State Farm, I've got coverage through age 18 in case
you don't want to get an abortion. Of course our rates may go up but what the
hell, can't live life without a little bit of risk. Isn't that what
insurance is for?

Oh Deb, I wish it was that simple.  Sexual harrassment, the charge, has
several factors which help to define it, one of which is "the unwanted
advances of another..." Now, the term "advances" is open to interpretation,
along with much of the rules regarding sexual harrassment.  So sexual
harrassment might mean one thing to you, and another thing to another
female.  Some females will get offended by a man saying "nice dress".
He might not mean anything by it, and yet, that simple compliment can
cost him his job, if delivered to the wrong female.  So how is a 
man to know which females are super sensitive and which are not?  He
doesn't know until it is too late.  
I've seen females get completely grossed out if a guy she thinks is
just awful attempted to ask her out.  He only asked her out, and yet 
she reacted horribly.  Sexual harassment?   Maybe, with a good lawyer.
No, although in most cases a simple question of availability for a 
date would be OK, it is better not to chance it because one never know
what mod the female would be in at the time of reception.

   Actually, I often find distinctive physical characteristics, ones that make
   someone look different from the rest of the crowd, to be at least mildly 
   appealing.  Plus, if you spend much time with someone who has a characteristic
   that originally struck you as unappealing, you might be surprised at how
   quickly it can become appealing.

I agree: different is interesting.  I just (personally) find body
building of this sort to be grotesque.  I keep thinking that something
is gonna burst and leave blood and guts all over the place.  It seems
unhealthy to me.  After all, it is well known to medecine that women
with almost no body fat tend to stop ovulating -- they become sterile.

Nah--probably just friendly hassling.  Personally, I don't think that it's
that much of an impediment to respect--I just think of religions like any

living productive lives and even being perfectly pleasant people to spend
time with.

doing around a girl like you?"
