Just make sure that the Bad Girl you pick up dosen't decide to try and
date you.  Also, get her complete medical history first.  Hint No. 3:
she'll be the one at the bar with the frizzy teased hair and the 1 ft.
diameter hoop earrings.  Good luck and go get 'em, tiger.

Stock up on penecillin, Dave.  Remember, it takes a loooot of experience
to work your way up to Bad Girlhood.  It's a ladder fraught with peril.

Does this actually happen?  TV doesn't count :).  I've only noticed women
looking away the moment anyone might look back.  That's not a criticism; I
haven't noticed what men generally do.  Is that another feature which is
unique to New England?

Marriages of first cousins (and thus of first cousins, once removed) are not
incestuous, at least here in Maryland.  FL 2-202(b) prohibits "marriages
within 3 degrees of direct lineal consanguinity or within first degree of
collateral consanguinity."  It's a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $1500
or permananent banishment from the State.  FL 2-202(c) covers certain other
relationships, e.g., stepparents, and provides a fine of $500 (no banishment).

By the way, Charles Darwin married his first cousin.

     In response to your question on meeting women in bars, I would like
     
     to take the liberty to express a few of my ideas. Use them if you
     
     wish, that's the whole point of this, but I do *not* guarantee
  
     *anything*. That's just my little disclaimer thing so don't worry.


     1)  Firstly, I'd like to offer my approval on your "choice", I
      
         just hope your decision wasn't made by the influence of alcohol
        
         (or other substance). She will notice this (unless she's 

         influenced also) and will probably turn her off before you finish

         your first sentence. So plain and simply: be sober and calm.

      
     2)  If you are acquianted with said female from elsewhere, a bar

         might not be the best location for your initial confrontation.

         Take your first step in a less public area if possible. Some 

         place where you won't have to yell over a band, loud patrons, 

         or jukebox, etc.

     3)  Don't let friends push you into it. 
   
         Public turn-downs can be hell, and if your friends can't see

         it you can be more comfortable when speaking to her. It also

         lets you be yourself without you wondering what your friends

         are saying. (or worse yet laughing about when you glance back

         at them.)

     4)  Say what comes to mind first (with-in reason). Your first

         impression may also be her's.

     5)



     5)  Remember this: I was told this by a female friend of mine and I

         believe it to some extent.  " A woman knows with-in the first

         10 seconds whether or not she will "sleep" with you, so be 

         careful what you say.

>1) What do you generally think of a well-trimmed beard?

I think beards are sort of like hats: some people especially like or
dislike them, but the effect on most people is to draw attention in a
largely neutral way -- that is, if you keep it, people will start 
describing you as "the guy with the beard".  It becomes a sort of
defining characteristic.  It can make you stand out more in a crowd,
which can be good or bad depending on what you want, and it can detract
from your other features, which can also be good or bad, depending on
how you feel about your beard and about your other features.  All of
these things are more true for dark beards than blond ones, and for
long beards than short ones.

Personally, I sort of like short, trimmed beards, and don't much like
long scraggly beards or even long full beards.  However, I can imagine
a long beard suiting someone's personality enough that I'd like it on
them.  

>2) For those of you who have met me, would you think a beard would

I've never met you, but I wanted to point out that all of us have read 
Charlie's .sig and so our behavior might be altered, making us a bad sample.

I don't recall using the term 'brutal' anywhere.

However, like much of life, brutality is only in the delivery.

"Stuff off bitch, I couldn't love a slag like you and just want to
bonk a few times," would probably have a fairly high rating on the
brutality meter.

On the other hand, an extended version of, "I like you a lot but I
don't feel there is anything deeper waiting to be discovered in our
relationship. However I still like being with you and I am still very
attracted to you." might not be that bad. Especially if it was said
with care and attention to the feelings of the other person.

Would the original poster please post a transcript? :-)

It only comes across as sarcastic if you split it off from my previous

fencing. good idea. as is anything else with a high male:female ratio.
(i've also found that people who fence tend to be intelligent, well
rounded active & somewhat romantic. -nice- is another matter... sabrists
can be scary...) shooting ranges & the like are also good. if you don't
mind geeks (hey, i can say that. i are one.) join a computer club.

what she said. ballroom dance is an especially good one for guys. not

The quote about a rose, which is from The Little Prince, is not about 
a challenge. It is an explanation of why we love people even when we 
know their faults: because we have spent time with them, because we have 
a shared history.
