Dawn,

You _are_ correct.  Mt. Olympus is in Greece.  Actually
though, I thought Thor was a Roman invention (pre-dating
the Roman Alcoholic Church, of course).  As in Th{o|u}rsday,
for example.  But, anyway, take my word for it...

While on holiday on the Mediterranean, Thor, did, in fact,
attend an orgy on Mt. Olympus.

In that neck of the woods and being smarter than the average
god, he likely _would_ have worn an Asgard, but that has little
to do with the subject at hand. ;^)


Thpeaking of mythth and buttth, the word of the day is

calypigious  adj.  1. Having attractive buttocks.


Ya see, that's why everyone on Costeau's boat spends so much
time in the water...  They like to look at Calypso's bottom.

Note: some people (and dictionaries) prefer "calypigean", but
that, to me, brings to mind images of bird droppings on statues
in Sacramento.

And now, back to the subject...

This word can be used to construct many interesting opening lines,
it being very complimentary and, at the same time, unknown to most
people.  You get some _very_ positive reactions when you (finally)
explain its denotation.  It's got "pulchritude" beat hands down...

First you have to pick out the man, because they're all different and they're
all pretty weird in their own ways, with lots of turn-ons that you wouldn't
expect.  (In my case, sometimes it's something as strange as offering to
help me clean up after dinner; also physical contact (affectionate can be
more important than sexual) and unusual and distinctive ways of saying things
can be very effective.  (Don't worry, I won't bore you with the rest of the
list.))  

Once you've selected the male of interest, some of them will be kind enough
to give you a list or at least (ahem) a few pointers when asked (just work
it into the conversation somehow); others are less inclined to disclose such
information or may not actually know themselves, so you have to find out by
trial and error.

Trygve   (Experimentation is a good idea in any case, because you never know
          when you'll discover a completely new and unexpected turn-on.)

Subject: Question about divorced women...
Date: Fri, 08 Jan 93 13:49:08 GMT
Organization: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque

Promise: Not a word about religion :)

OK, I am interested in dating a POW, divorced a few years, 1 kid (the kid
is not a problem at all).
My problem is her attitude towards relationships- she is none to keen about
having 'yet another man tell her what to do, where to go and how to raise my
son'. 
Now, I'm not looking to move in with this woman, I'm just looking for the
casual sort of relationship- someone to hang with, take to see movies that
one really shouldn't see alone, get the female type perspective, perhaps
even the sex thing, you know, normal relationship sort of stuff.
My question is how to persue this without making her afraid that I'm going
to be trouncing her independence...I'm thinking casual persistance, an ever
helpful dose of ego-boosting and, of course, patience.
Why this? (as in whats my motivation for doing it this way, and this is the
part I need advice from the divorced type women on) Well, to me she comes
across as being wanting of a relationship, but really scared about entering
one, given the rotten luck she's had with men in the past. She is fiercly
proud of her independence (and rightly so, she's worked hard as a single 
mother keeping her kid healthy and all)- which means she doesn't want some-
body who buys her things, who pays for everything, etc.- that is an affront
to her independence moreso than a 'lets keep things on an equal basis' sort
of attitude (which is what she says is the reason, but I really believe that
it is only part of it, the affront on the independence thing is a big factor.)
So I approach this with casual persistance- to let her know that yeah, I am
interested in dating her, the ego boost thing, to let her know that at least
I think she is worthwhile, and worth dating and patience, because I'm not going
to change her mind, she has to change her mind herself, otherwise it just
wouldn't be right in her mind (and in mine, actually).
Is this the right sort of approach?

I would have figured that you got all of this whining out of your system
over in alt.personals by now... 

One more time:

UW Eau Claire has a very high female to male ratio due to the schools
of Nursing and Elem. Ed. programs. Go hang out on Water St. 

If you want drunk, overweight, and desperate go to Shenanigan's...

If you want drunk, upwardly mobile, and disdainful go to Cameraderie or
Hooligan's...

If you want drunk, artsy, and dressed in black spandex go to the Joynt...

If you want drunk, athletic, Good Ol' Girls go to Wagners 53 1/2
Lanes...

If you want sober, responsible, lifetime companions stop wallowing
in self-pity and develop a personality that attracts members of the
opposite sex (honesty, respect, sense of humor, etc...)

If all else fails Wisconsin still has plenty of compliant cows...

Respect? Respect need only be mutual, IMO.
Mutual respect is the only form of respect besides
self respect, which is essential for the existence
of mutual respect.

The respect that Robert refutes is what I call sucking up.

All individuals MUST be strong enough to have self respect.
This, by nature, precludes sucking up.

Self respect comprises having a clue.

Having a clue does not always guarantee self respect.

This article is a small self-defense. I appreciate all the other kind
words. :) I'll get to individual articles in a bit, after a re-read :)

Hmmm. Well, I've been accused of being a satanist in the past, but never
an implication that I was an anti-semite...

I'm not an anti-semite, or anything like that. Any implication that I am
is, basically, utter hogwash.
I'm upset because that's the sort of accusation that is hard to play down-
the burden of proof always seems to be on the accused- like the cry of
'Communist!'  going up in the 50's.

Obviously, one can tell I'm not an extrodinarily religious person. 
Spiritual? Very much so, but religious, not quite.

I tried to be even-handed in my implication that I think religion is
out-dated and archaic- I used examples from Judaism only because that
was the thread being discussed. If you were insulted by the remarks, all
I can say is that they were not meant as insulting.

Will I apologize for saying them? No, because I don't see where I said 
anything offensive. If you did take offense at the remarks, perhaps you
should examine your beliefs and religous structure to find out why you
take offense to such comments. If you make such a search and find your 
beliefs sound, good! I will be the first one to say I am truly pleased for
you.

If you're still offended, take solace in the fact that, by your belief system
I'll be condmended to another life here (probably stuck reading only alt.

(yeah, my idea of hell- one terminal with a newsreader- alt.romance.chat...
at 300 baud...on a green-screen... :)

peace.
