Now wait.  The only people that wear suits around here are the legal guys and
Marketing (on show and tell days).  Some people wear "bunny suits".

BTW, the above sound like synonyms to me :).

OK, OK, I'm going to post something.  I just happened upon soc.singles and 
am both interested and disgusted in the material here.  Maybe this is a FAQ
but here goes anyway...

Serious Question: Do newspaper "Personals" advertisements work?  What kind
of experiences (good and bad) have _net_ people had?  What techniques can
make them work better?

Perhaps we're not reading the same articles.  Did you happen
to catch this insult directed squarely at Ms. Kitsis' religious 
beliefs:

  "I think it idiotic to be utilizing modern technologies that spread your 
   words worldwide almost instantaniously, but refeuse to eat a ham-and-cheese
   sandwich because you might get condemned to whatever for it."

What do you want to do about it Chuck?  Do you enjoy each other's

The old Ann Landers question, "Would you be better off with or
without them?" will tell you what to do.  My SO and I seem to have
so many differences that we sometime wonder why we are so happy 
together.  But we don't worry about it, we just enjoy it.  I mean,
she is a night person, and I'm not.  She will eat anything, and
I am very picky.  She likes high class restaurants, and I like
casual restaurants with paper napkins.  I don't know why we

The sad fact is that life is set up to divide people.  It's not enough
that there are racial differences, and differences in physical
attractiveness, education level, interests, geographic background
(moving to a new location can have a profound effect on your ability
to relate to people, and we americans move more often than anybody in
history), and religion.  To top it off, there are several religions
that actively condemn marriage outside the religion.

I think you have to take a hard look at what you are willing to trade
for a happy, stable marriage.  I think it is ridiculous to dismiss any
of the above differences out of hand, without at least actively
reasoning your way to a conclusion for each difference.

As for marrying outside a religion -- I don't see why it is impossible
to have religiously intermixed marriages.  I find it puzzling that so
many people born jewish end up restricting themselves and marrying
within their religion.  I know several people who reject nearly every
aspect of the religion, except for the principle that they must marry
a jewish person.  I really would appreciate an explanation for this.

Any "filtering" process is bound to weed out some (potentially)
compatible mates.  In this case, by not dating a non-Jewish man, she
does not allow the possibility that one of them might join the Jewish
religion (unless she wants someone who is Jewish from birth; that is a
different problem).  She also is unwilling to live in NYC, LA, or
Chicago (?), cities that would provide a large and diverse set of
Jewish men.

I know a number of women who do like such things, though only a few who
would actually hang them anywhere they would be seen by the general
public.  On the other hand, I know even more women who like Playboy-type
calendars.

In any case, let me 'splain.  To put it in a nutshell, which incidently is
about the size container in which the brain of someone who'd fall for any of

once a month or so here (s.s).  "D." is the first initial of someone that I'd
been talking with via email with most of the day about the high flame potential
of many recent articles here.  I won't explain the ColoState and California
school stuff as you probably wouldn't follow it, even with a secret message
decoder ring.

In a recent article it claimed that when men used "Hi" as an opening line
it was successful 80% of the time.  When women used it the success rate was
100%.

Why?  Would it make someone a bad father, because he doesn't want children
at some given time?  Do you make the same assumption about "pro-choice"
*women*?  Indeed, wouldn't you think that *willing* parents are better
parents than *unwilling* parents?

Not at all.  *I* have a baby daughter, whom I *did* want, but I also support

I can agree with that.  She is, in fact, quite unusual in the fashion
modelling world -- and apparently had a little trouble in the business
at first.  You see, designers who are showing off their fashions don't
want the model to upstage the clothes they are showing off.  That is
one of the reasons why models look so plastic -- they (both male and
female) are intentionally chosen so as not to outshine the clothing
which the wear.  So there is discrimination against anyone whose
features are particularly prominent, like Turlington's cheekbones and
eyes.

Ah, the benefits of having friends who work in the fashion industry...

(and even company) during this short stay in Southern California.
