The only problem with that arrangement is that when you become aroused
by an attractive woman in front of you, you end up kicking her in the

Perhaps I misspoke.  I did NOT mean to suggest thet people who

What about the following for identification of female geeks?:

    (1)  Wears frilly 'girl-type' things or t-shirts & sneakers?
    (2)  Lots of makeup of absence of makeup?
    (3)  Shaves pits?
    (4)  Shaves legs?

For anyone who cares or wishes to pursue a thread - my view:

    (1)  I lean toward the t-shirts & sweaters type.
    (2)  Not into makeup (or doing anything except combing hair
                          ie. no curlers, sprays).
    (3)  Don't care.
    (4)  Don't know (the only ones I've seen didn't have good legs.
                     I would guess that with attractive legs, shaven
                     or unshaven wouldn't matter.  I never notice the
                     'clean close shave' when I'm noticing.)

Wow, I made it home.  Too bad, actually - I was having such a great
vacation :-)  BaloonBoink was awesome, from the people to the visual
orgasms to the joy of seeing the dawn over a tailgate breakfast.  The
All Net Band was an experience, too, though I get the feeling that I
just wasn't crazy enough at the party.  Next year :-)  Anyway, Larry
and Ron did a sterling job-in-a-vacuum, and it was good to meet Ron,
Lou & Mel and to see Teri and Marcia again.

It stayed good after I left Albuquerque, too.  Camping in the Santa Fe
National Forest, seeing Shiprock and the magnificent Canyon de Chelly,
then having a good couple of hits at seeing pieces of Colorado - it
was great.  I wimped out on the camping after I got to Colorado as
they had a cool snap (I had the chance to make snowballs, Emma!) but
that was okay.  It's kinda good to get back to my cat, the presidential
debates and my tunes.

I have my pictures in being processed so I can fail to show them at
Phillyboink, just like you'd expect :-)  Seriously, I hear tell of a
roving net.portfolio that I'll gladly get some reprints for.

Scuse me but there's a problem of marketing here.  You're asking for a Woman to mail to, not to have sex with, so what's the deal to send your age, color of hair,...   In mail, the major factor a fantasy is IMAGINATION, so don't freeze the imagination in telling your physical description, and who knows if you're not 4'5'' and 200 lbs?

	What i like in your message is this sentence (I don't know if it was 
written consciently) "to send mail back and forth to"!!!   Hoooo!  That's the
way to make women inconsciently desirefull to write to you.

	Well, I don't know everything either... noticed my english?  In fact,
I'm french (from Quebec).

While human bodies are symmetrical, they're not perfectly symmetrical.
My simian crease is present on only one palm.  The other one has the usual

By the way, I'd estimate that there are 3400-4000 people with simian creases

Although I'm not sure, I don't think that Aristotle's _Politica_ was
based on physiological studies.  The ages of "sexual decline" to which
he referred were 70 and 51.  Interestingly, he married a woman of 18 when
he was 37, but I don't know how old he was when he wrote _Politica_.
However, he died at the age of 62.

My personal opinion is that his advice is of historical interest, only.

Wow, does this question ever touch on what's been running through my head
lately!

In the past year, I've had two relationships end.  One had lasted
for three years and was not an "in-love" relationship but a great blend
of caring, sex, mutual intellectual regard, etc.  The second (which
started AFTER the first one was over, for the record :-)) was ENTIRELY
based on that "in-love" feeling; objectively speaking, this person and
I were almost completely wrong for each other.  

I guess my opinion is that for a lasting relationship, I personally need
both a romantic feeling as well as a friendly one. I think that
over time the first fine careless rapture of infatuation may fade,
and that in the end the liking-respect-sexual desire-trust matrix
is much more important, but I have to admit that when I was dating the
second person mentioned above I understood for the first time how a person
could marry someone clearly wrong for her.  For me at least, that
"in-love" feeling is POWERFUL.  

However, I don't think this is necessary for physical intimacy.  
(Although if I didn't feel as though I was in love with the person I 
was about to sleep with, I'd probably make sure that they knew to 
avoid misunderstandings).

I think that you're in the minority. Not that there's anything
fundamentally *wrong* with feeling the way you do :-), most people just
want to see if they get along with their SO in bed as well as they do
"normally". A non-working sexual relationship can lead to serious
frustrations later on. Of course all that depends on the people
involved, the most important question in your case might well be
"Why?". Virginity is overrated, IMHO.

Lauren> Or am I too hopeless an anachronism for this group?

Maybe :-)  Don't worry about it, just be honest with yourself. There's
no One Guaranteed Way(tm) to being happy (although most religions
advertise their version of it).
