I never do it, and my elbows would be too low for it anyway.  I've
accidentally collided with people in crowded places but that's
different.

I can see why some guys occasionally do that accidental elbow contact. 
First, they must get something out of it, which might indicate that they
don't have a satisfactory sex life.  Second, they don't realize or don't
care that the collision might be painful or at lest irritating.  I
wonder how many guys would enjoy elbow collisions to his balls. 
Probably not too many. 

An elbow-breast collision is quite safe for the guy.  He can always
claim that it was an accident.  It's pretty hard to claim that a real
squeeze was an accident.  So, he will get away from sexual harassment. 
Still it doesn't change the fact that such behaviour is harassing.

In that case, how are you defining 'attractive'? Isn't attractiveness defined
by what you are attracted to, and not what you figure you oughta be

First, answer to yourself _what_ you want to call her. :-)

Seriously though, as long as you think of her as an ex-girlfriend, I doubt 
what you are going to accomplish. If you really want to know how she's 
doing _as a friend_ you should start thinking about her as a friend, and 
not an ex.  If you can't do that, there probably will always be too much 
awkwardness there for it to be a real friendship, so I'd say leave it 
alone.

Consider sending her a card that says what basically what you wrote, instead of calling.

Back to pheromones: Do youbelieve that humans are turned on by pheromones, or have we developed so far in our civilisation that social factors ( like if you look like a photo-model, or if you are a rock-star) totally dominate? The question is, of course, not completely black-or-white. Animals get turned on by visual stimulation, too. 

Compared to wolves (and dogs, which are just domesticated wolves), we have
many times fewer odor receptors in the nose and relatively smaller areas in 
the brain dedicated to processing odors.  Much more of our brain mass is
devoted to processing visual input, and we're much better at seeing static
detail than canines are.

However, the human sense of smell is better than most people realize (mine
is somewhat impaired due to genetic factors and sinus problems, hence my
interest), and people detect and respond to pheromones without being aware
of them.  They also respond to dilated pupils as well as responding with
either dilated or contracted pupils to visual stimuli.

Not directly. I've been working full-time for the past year (after finally
getting my degrees) and I've continued living at the same (mostly :-) standard
of living that I had when I was a student to build up a cash-cushion to ensure
that I will *not* have to depend on others for money to survive. I don't
understand people that seemingly refuse to think of the future and plan ahead
this way.

I do have a brother that's currently unemployed; however he's married (luckily
his wife still works) with kids, and his social life hasn't suffered.
Unemployment may be effecting his self-esteem; if so, it doesn't show much.
He's been using the time to do fun stuff (every week-end at the beach, etc.)
Mind you, the party will be over soon, when the unemployment cheques stop.

Might not the reporting on Steve Garvey have been somewhat different if he had

even made a movie about his exploits.  Now isn't that just about the pinnacle

I've always considered the work in a relationship to be mostly of the 
communication kind: where each person makes sure that they are communicating
their feelings and needs and opinions, and in such a way not to insult the 
other person and work at a win-win solution. Each person has to ask the
difficult questions and sometimes deal with harsh turths, and not avoid them
just because they aren't "nice". And doing that consistently and honstly isn't
easy: it's *work*.

What is too much work? I don't have a set definition, only some rough ideas,
since each relationship is different. When one person always initiates the
discussions about the harsh truths. When one is always soliciting information
from the other, but is never asked anything. When each solution takes more
time and compromise to achieve than either partner is willing to do.

There's always that guilt, since our society has this idea that if you only
work hard enough, it will happen. And sometimes that's just not the case: no
matter how hard you work, sometimes it just isn't there.

No thanks.  I prefer not to love unconditionally.  I prefer to love to be,
in turn, loved, and to have my trust in my partner not betrayed.  Love is
not wholly altruistic, nor do I think that it should be.

If this is "the formula", then I will quite willingly remain single.  But I
hope that this ain't "the answer".

Life is too short to converse with ugly minds, agreed.

Personally, I think these people tend to get what they
deserve, anyway (I hope, I hope), i.e. lonliness and a
circle of friends that act similarly.

People are more interesting than the steenking weather,
anyway.  At very least, one can ask "Why do you say that?"

>tone or sarcastic tone won't help - sound interested.

*BE* interested.  The mind is full of twist little passages, all different.
Or else just say 'Nice to meet you, goodbye' and leave.

Faking interest is like faking orgasm - a disservice to both involved and
a waste of time that you could be using on the real thing.

I know, I've wandered far from the subject, and I'm pontificating.
