It appears that not just one but two distinguished visitors from the
midwest are going to be here on the east coast after the new year's
holiday.  So I have foolishly :-) offered to host an impromptu
get-together here in New Haven in honor of Kiran and Michael the
weekend of January 9.  For activities, we might inspect the dodo at
the Peabody museum and eat pizza at Sally's, and of course there will
be an opportunity for everybody to meet my cats.  I have some crash
space available for people from out of town, but I suspect the
happenings are going to be pretty much confined to Saturday.

So, send me mail if you're interested in coming!

Ordinarily this idea is fine, but unfortunatly it is difficult to apply
to Judeasim.  I'm an ElligibleSingleJewishMan (Sorry, that wacky BIG D thing)
who has never actually met an ElligibleSingleJewishWoman I was really
interested in.  I've dated plenty of non-jews, and had lots of fights
with other Jewish people on the merrits/problems with marrying inside/outside
the clan, and I don't think people outside the religion realize just how
big a problem this is.

Anyone who would like to discuss this could drop me some e-mail, and I'll
tell you my theories, or perhaps soc.culture.jewish...?

Anyhow, the biggest fight I ever had with my Jewish mother was over the
religion of whom I should marry (It's ok to date non-jews, but when you 
get married she should be Jewish), even though she married a Christian.
(And that's another story)

What he said.  Sometimes people want to stay within the "clan".  As long
as they don't use that as a criterion not to chose someone wonderful from
outside, then why not?

On the contrary -- it falls into the category of friendly hassling and is
included in increase group bonding.  Being a member of an unusual church
(how many of *you* were shown slides of fun positions in *your* church's
Sex Ed classes?), I get this kind of hassling occasionally, and always
enjoy it (since it's part of the group bonding process, plus I can gently
proselytise).  It's easy to see other groups, though, for whom this hassling
is not friendly and is therefore wrong.

Shelley -- keep up the search!  Compromise is possible on so many things,
but not on (deeply felt) religious principles.  Dating someone outside of
one's faith goes well for a while, but how can you respect someone whose
entire religious beeing is based on error?

Hey Pally!  Since you are in Canada, I don't know what they
feel about sexual harrassment up there, but in the USA, you 
risk being charged with it if the girl reacts in a negative way.
No, although even a year ago, it would have been OK to ask the
girl out, since the Anita Hill controversy, and with public
opinion seemingly believing any accusers of sexual harrasment
whether proven or not, you would be better off just ignoring the
girl, unless you see her in a public place.  Find out where
she hangs out, and happen to run into her there.  Then I think
you might be safe from any potential liability problems with
sexual harrassment.

And so do men.  Well, someone had to say it.  I'm quite happy to pay
for a date---it makes sense for me to do so, since most of the women I
know are on student grants, and I'm paid a salary---but I'm also happy
to allow them to pay, since the dates we go on are pretty cheap, on
the whole.  In practice, almost all have insisted on paying their
share, and I don't mind that.

I answered some recently.  A couple of the women whose ads I answered
called me back.  I've met both of them.  One didn't go anywhere after
the first meeting, the other one, well, too early to tell.

To make them work better if you're answering, answer FAST.  Some ads
generate a blizzard of responses and if you're 63rd in line, well, you
figure the odds.

To make them work better if you're writing one, you need to devote a
lot of thought to both what you want and what you're like.  It's tough
to express it all in, say, 30 words, but worth the effort.

First: Follow the flamewar you started.  Is ANYONE on your side?

Second: I did not say I used this restriction, merely that it is a
        perfectly reasonable one to use for those to whom religion
        is important.  And considering the lifestyle restrictions
        Conservative Judaism demands, if you are observant it is
        obviously important.

I think it's about time humans got over the annoying habit of telling
other humans how to live their personal lives.

Gee, and this had nothing to do with your attitude?

What you seem to be looking for, Joe, is a fictional model of a woman.
You want her pure (not a slut, not been around), but you want her to be
good in bed (you expressed the desire to get laid a lot). You want her
to be good looking, but certainly not better looking than you, because
that 1) would be insulting to your manhood and 2) you get all puffy and
jealous when another man 'approaches her'. You say you don't care about
how she looks, if she has an outstanding personality, but then you say
that you'll totally blow her off if shes 'undesirable'.

You're looking for fiction in a world made up of real people.
But like Ken said, you're young, you'll learn.

Not exactly.  The pre-sex contract isn't insurance (it doesn't pay money to
try to make up for other effects).  

Hey, that's what we need: paternity/maternity insurance!  Then we wouldn't 
have to argue about forcing abortion, or withholding child support from
