Not many.  Hondas aren't classics yet, you see, because even the
earliest ones are still being driven.  When I was in the market for a
car last year I couldn't help noticing that the oldest cars you see
next to you in traffic are the Hondas.

Well people who exercise are generally going to be in better physical shape
than those who don't (yes, there's always the story about someone's Uncle
Phil who never did anything but sit and eat rusty nails and lived to the
ripe old age of 106) and there really is no dispute for that.  If someone
choses to concentrate on their mind, that's fine but remember that your
mind is part of your brain and the quality of how that thing works depends
on how well you take care of your physical being.  If you let your body rot
away, your mind is going to go with it.

If you keep a good steady supply of oxygen and blood cells rich with
essential vitamins and minerals going to your brain, it's going to 
function a hell of a lot better than if you sit on your butt all day
and eat Doritos and drink Coke Classic until your teeth fall out.

People who chose to exercise may have chosen to concentrate their abilities
in one particular area for the time they are exercising, Ed, but given
that the benifits will keep everything running optimally (including that
brain you're so fond of) I'd say it's a superior choice to standing still.

It's superior physically because it keeps you in shape.  It's superior
intellectually because letting your body go to hell is stupid.  It's
superior morally because you are going to be alive and well and contributing
to the lives of people who love you instead of having an attitude like
"eh, so I die, who cares" or, in the case of pregnancy, you're going to
give the developing person inside you the best possible chance for a
healthy life.

Plus if you DO get sick or need surgery or something, the healthier
you are, the quicker you will heal.  :-)

Well, here's another angle.  I'm definitely not athletic, have no interest
in athletics, never have, probably never will.  But _every_ man I've dated
has been very athletic, including the man I'm currently seeing.  He swims
a mile a day, lifts weights, etc.  We've driven each other crazy on

That's true.  The old view of Neanderthal Man (that is, the one
you still see in bad science-fiction movies) was based on some
skeletons that were badly reconstructed.  The anthropologists
who worked on them failed to account for the fact that the bones
were distorted by severe arthritis.  The modern view of is that
you can only distinguish between Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man
on a statistical basis.  If you found a Neanderthal Man, dressed
him and shaved him, he probably wouldn't attract a second notice
on the street.  Most of us probably have some Neanderthal genes
in us today.

 Well, it took me a while to get to this overloaded newsgroup... However, I'd
like to share with you what I find attractive.
I am still a young man at 28, and I should express that I am going to talk
about women (please gays don't get offended again). I actually just want to say
that there is something more than the physical attraction (although that is
important, too). I had a few girlfriends, and I can say they have been all
different... So it's really the best to say that I don't know what do I find
attractive on women, because it's something else that attracts in the first
place. However, every woman regardless of her physical dimensions has a certain
level of sex-appeal, and it's really a mystery how that works...
And one other thing - do you think we should examine all this ? Maybe if we
really love the other person, we shouldn't have any clear idea WHY do we
love...

Okay, so I'm biased since it was made here in Seattle, but
it is a fun movie.  IMHO there's a couple of plot devices
that are a bit trite, but the dialog is lot's of fun, the

If the Civil War and the 3rd Reich are the results of people taking

ought not to take physical appearance seriously.

I think you would do well to read such a book.  It just so happens
that in one of my former lives I happened to be a biologist.

It is not true that animals, in general, select their mates based
on physical appearance.  The animals that rely on appearance to
select their mates are generally those that have good vision, such
as birds.  Mammals, in general, have very poor vision and usually
rely on their sense of smell for mating instead.  

How did our close ancestors really choose their mates?  According
to Edward O. Wilson's textbook on sociobiology, "Because of the
exitance of a high level of cooperation with the band, a legacy of 
the original Australopithecus adaptation, sexual selection would
tend to be linked with hunting prowess, leadership, skill at tool
making, and other visible attributes that contribute to the success
of the family and the male band."  So, if you really want to say
you're choosing your mate the same way our ancestors did, you should
value an engineering degree (toolmaking skills) at least as highly
as physical appearance.

Well, though I tend to be a liberal feminist that would utter the

a great number of female knees that jerk very easily in this sort
of circumstance.  I'd tend not to tell a woman about something like

Looks like it's back to Arkansas.  I was there overnight back in
January of '91 and was quite impressed with that southern hospitality.

It was quite fascinating walking through the University Mall (I think
that was the name) and actually have women look at you, smile and say
"Hi".  In this area, you're lucky if the women look up from the floor.

Just yesterday I went out to lunch with a co-worker.  I stepped to
the side of a narrow walkway to allow 5 women to get through first.
Otherwise we would have been chest to chest (ok, so I screwed up this
time).  Not one of the 5 looked at or thanked me for that kind (and now
realized stupid) jesture.  Hmmmm.

Anyway, I will be in Little Rock probably from Oct. 5th till the end
of the month.  Working 12 hour shifts and possibly weekends.  I'll
be a consultant for our factory's new line.  (So, get to the point
Steve), so I would love to hear from those of you interested in
getting together during the evenings (even your friends if they
would like to get together with a fairly stable, pleasant, and 
interesting individual) and/or suggestions on things to do and places
to go.  I am also a professional photograper, so scenic and other
photographic types of places would also be of interest.  Oh, pinball
used to be a favorite hobby of mine.  E-mail or phone call would be nice.
