No, it is not a new fad.  Women have been wearing them for years now.
Unfortunately, most of the women who wear them, shouldn't.  Also, I've
seen some that fell down around the lower ankle.  The proper way for
them to be worn is above the ankle, and only with High Heels.  If you
want to see something stupid, look at a woman wearing an ankle bracelet
with flat shoes.  If you want to see something really bad, look at those
women who have permanent "ankle bracelets" tattooed on their ankles.

Well, I don't think there's anything at all wrong with that approach as long
as it works for you--just keep in mind that your approach may not be the 
right technique for everyone at all times.  Giving everyone a chance, no 
matter what, can be very time-consuming and require lots of energy that you
may not feel you can afford to dedicate to this pursuit (after all, there
are still books to write, inventions to invent, grand unified theories to
work the kinks out of, tax forms to fill out....); for a lot of women,
giving everybody a chance can even be dangerous, considering some of the
offers they may get.

	I don't know what the author's intentions were in posting this, but 
I think the original writers of this *song* deserve proper credit.

	This poem is a chopped-up and sloppy version of "Girl on the Moon,"
a song written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones of the group Foreigner, published 
on their album *4* circa 1981.

This is the first I've heard that there were any hills in New Jersey. 
What would these folks do, ski down each other's driveways?  Or are we
talking about water skiing in the middle of December?

I know, I'm crabby today.  It's this bronchitis.  Think I'll go home and

Sure, happens all the time.  Indeed, it's a fairly common reaction, both
among men and women who don't want a serious relationship and flee from
anything that threatens to become one and men and women who find SO
potential to be frightening, uncomfortable, unattractive, and/or boring.

Well, Mr. 7-on-a-1-to-10-scale (sounds like a quality improvement

It appears that you're waiting for a magazine model to jump out of the
page and into your arms while you hunt for subtle continuity errors in
your videotape collection of old Star Treks.  I know it's hard to
make room on your calendar with such a busy schedule, but you've

There is nothing wrong with being attracted to magazine models -- of
whatever gender you prefer -- but the fact of the matter is that most people
don't look like magazine models and most people never will.  So, looks
certainly cannot be the most important criterion.

I admit it: there's a certain "look" that I like.  But I'm not waiting for
some devastatingly handsome young man to ask me out.  I'm perfectly happy with
an average looking guy, as long as he has a great personality and treats me
with respect.
