Hmmm...maybe I'm just lucky, but I meet most of the people that I socially at
work. Of course, this may not be practical for everyone, it depends on where
you work I guess.  Also, it applies more to friendships than romances, but
that did seem to be what the original post was referring to.

I suppose it depends on where in the world you are.

Normally in most developed countries (no racism bitching me puhlease !!)
the age for heterosexual consent is 16 years old.

This is really the crux behind my posting.

Would you if you had the chance ??

Yes it's illegal, but would it be seen as more or less so than say drink
driving/ drugs ...... (whether you got caught or not). A morals test.

Thanks to those of you who suggested sites, clubs, restaurants,

Anyone interested in keeping me company during dinner (of course 
you're more than welcome to eat also), or showing me around town,
feel free to offer.  I usually enjoy travelling alone, but company
would be nice if available.

I'll believe that "55 saves lives" when I believe that the statistics
are collected and presented honestly.  On the other hand, they're
statistics, which, as we all know, are somewhere worse than "damn
lies."

One of my favorite examples of misleading with statistics has precisely
to do with this issue.  Before the 55 limit went into effect, the
definition of trafic death was "died before reaching the hospital."  At
the same time as the 55 limit was imposed, the definition changed to
"died at the scene." Can you see how this might imply fewer deaths,
without any facts to support the claim?  If not, think harder.

Whoever says there are is right.

1.  Meet however many you need to until you meet one or more that 
you consider attractive.  Shouldn't take that long.

2.  Trust people who have met a number of net.women when they say
that there are.  It doesn't take me long to think of quite a number
that I have met whom I have thought were quite attractive.

3.  Figure that there are probably still >60,000 people reading this
group, of which probably 30% or so are female.  Taking into account
that this group has readers from pretty nearly all backgrounds, 
careers, and whatever else you need to get a good cross-section of
the world at large (none of which ultimately has anything to do with
appearance), consider this:  If you take any random sample of 24,000
women, will any be good looking?  Unless you have extremely stringent
requirements for what defines good-looking, this is a pretty simple
question.

True. And *often* society's values reflect the moral, ethical and philosophical
outlook of an influential group of people at the time. Not to say that this
necessarily implies those values or wrong or incorrect. Homosexuality is a
good example of how human behavior may be severely restricted/changed by
social values.

>When there is mutual consent, I have trouble labeling something

Obtaining consent (and acting on it) from someone that may not be capable of 
understanding the consequences of such a consent is a crime if such action
is potentially detrimental to the consenter. But note that such a position 
cannot be taken to either extremes. There are good reasons to believe that 
14-year olds *as a class* may not understand the full consequences of sexual
intercourse.

There are just certain things that you can't do with short hair like
some light feathery tickling during times of intimacy, not to mention
other things.  Not that I don't like short hair, but in some respects
it's not as versatile.  Besides, it's not as if getting smacked in the
face with long hair hurts :-)

	You don't even have to pretend to be married. Just say you're now
involved "seriously" with someone and suddenly guys (in my case) come crawling
out of the woodwork and try to "change my mind". I've noticed this "trend"
every time I get involved with someone.
