Not at all.

I love it when women call me. It's usually very flattering.

I was supposed to ask her if their was chemistry between us? It takes
two willing people for there to be chemistry, and I know I didn't feel
it.

There were a few reasons she came across as desperate to me. The first
was that five months after putting in her personal ad she called me.

The main reason was that I found her desperate was that I saw in her
the exact same way _I_ have acted before when I had been desperate in
the past. It was a real eye opener to see myself put in the same
uncomfortable situation I had placed a few women in.

I no longer pursue women unless I get a sense they're comfortable with
me. I've met too many women who are too "nice" to tell me that they're
uninterested in me. I've even gone out what I would call "sympathy
dates" with women who didn't have the guts to tell me they didn't
really want to do anything with me. And there's nothing more miserable
than spending time with someone who really doesn't want to be there. I
try my best to avoid doing that with any women who is interested me.
And that's why I didn't go out again with the first women mentioned in
my previous posting.

Well, James, maybe she is trying to get you so irritated(=excited?)
that you would do something silly and she can haul you away. Why
not cover your head with a paper bag when walking past? In
this way, you wouldn't notice either her smile and the gun. The gun,
now I am sure it's just a toy, and only a kid would get scared
by such a thing. So try not to get so bothered by these little 
details.

Then again, you can smile back. So, there, now you know how to
irritate her in return.

That's sort of what I do when the door opens in.  I open the door, walk 
through, and hold the end of the door. When the person walks through I
let go, and walk ahead of the person.  If the person is a woman than
she has not only seen my galantry but now is a position to check out my
nice firm buttocks as I stroll off ahead of her.  So the next time, if I
stand in the doorway she *will* brush her tits on me as she passes through.

This is an interesting situation.  I was visiting a friend on my way

Eventually the conversation turned to chidren and why one might have
them or enjoy raising them.  We were not disagreeing about anything,
but we were still "arguing."

I hate generalizations.  I am glad Bill stuck to "Most women I've dated".
I know women who are really into hobbies.  For example:  gardening, knitting,
reading.  Some even have "manlike" hobbies of racing, mechanics, etc..
I also know a few men who are "hobby free".  The only  constant is change,
and the only rule is that there are no rules.

Yes, particularly if you come in from the daytime, you can see a lot.
Also, I think they have made a mistake by darkening the waiting 
area as much as they have. By the time you get on the ride, your
eyes have acclimated to darkness. 
 
It's a pretty low-gee ride. Once it becomes predictable, it's comfortable
to carry on a normal conversation, and to look around at the structure
of the coaster.

    I agree that there is a certain degree of "Groucho Marx
Syndrome" (GMS) when "evaluating" the status of someone who likes
you, but I think there's more to it than that.
	If you think about the percentage of MOTAS to whom you're
attracted and who would be "available," that figure (well, at least
in my case) would be around 20%.  All of the MOTAS in your 20%
range have their own 20%.  Accordingly, that leaves a 4% chance of
mutual "attraction."
    The "accuracy" of these figures isn't the point.  My point is
that mutual attraction is a numbers game.  Some people need lots of
numbers, others need only one.
	I think the "desperation" comes in when someone raises his/her
"20%" to include you.  When that happens, you feel like you're filling
a position rather than being liked for you.  "You're hired, you fit
the suit!"
	When someone is genuinely attracted to you, for you, and the feeling
isn't mutual, there isn't the "annoyance" that exists when someone
"wants to 'score' with you/wants a husband/wants anyone."  Ah, but
how do we tell the difference???

	So my parents thought too and named me after her character
"Emma Peel" in the Avengers.  Well, to be totally honest, that was
why my father wanted to name me Emma! (*GRIN*)  My mother wanted 
to name me that after the novel of the same name by Jane Austen.
I know which one I'm most like! (*laughter*)
