The last man I dated was dumber than I was.  He had more formal education
than I, but he just wasn't the brightest bulb in the marquee.  The fact
that I often had to define words that I used in conversation was one of the
factors in my deciding that I didn't want to see him anymore.  It was sooo
frustrating.

And on a general note...I think that men prefer for women to at least 
pretend that they are less intelligent than the man.  Sorry. No.

   my question is,just how much importance do you all put on emotions?
   i personally am cold,with very little desire to experience tenderness or
   intimacy and certainly no desire to have children,with all the emotions that
   are associated(watching parents with children makes me feel ill!)

Why?  Why do feel that you are cold?  

Personally, I put a lot of importance on emotions.  How can I be in a
relationship with someone who doesn't feel?  In my experience, the one
vital component in any friendship (let alone romantic relationship) is
compassion -- the ability to feel along with someone else, or to
empathise.

   is anyone else out there like me?especially females,i would be
   interested to know.(i am a male).has anyone ever had a relationship
   with a emotionally cold person,and enjoyed the experience?and has
   anyone out there who is like me,had a relationship with a warm person
   and liked it?  i'd like to know,its hard to find out from people in
   regular life,they seem to think i come from another planet.

See above...

A question: What do YOU want in a relationship, Sutekh?  That is, what
do you want the _relationship_ to be like -- as opposed to what you
want the person with whom you are in relationship with to be like.

For instance, I want a loving, trusting, honest, joyfull and
passionate relationship.

   please send me some replys,i'd like to get past all the media imagary
   of what people are like(all the kissing and stuff) and see how many
   people are really different than all that,without being axe murderers
   or something.

Why close down physical intimacy as a possibility in your life?  What
beliefs do you have which tell you that physical intimacy is not right
for you?  

It sounds to me like you have shut off a very large part of what it
means to be human, by physically separating yourself.  Why not be
intimate?  It _is_ a powerful way of showing a feeling of connection
with your fellow human beings, especially that special one human
being...

goes:  what restrictions are there on the activities we can engage in
when not in a green area?  For example, the only green room in my

in only in that room, then I might want to consider redecorating.

Absolutely--my favorite pet is named Frank and he's a brick.  He followed
me home from school one day and, well, he charmed his brickish way into
my heart so I kept him.  He's a great pet--very clean and neat, no vet bills
to speak of, and inexpensive to feed.  He even knows lots of tricks--he can
sit, stay, lie down, play dead, and lots more--enough to keep one entertained
for hours.

          shielding for a cosmic ray detector.)

 Actually it was the other way around. In 1834 A.D. a  tupperware salesman
named Bob was kicked in the head by a mule. The force of the kick projected
Bob across the barn whereupon his head (he had a small head, a pin head)
jammed into the hub of a nearby Conastoga wagon. In an effort to free
his pinhead he placed his foot against a nearby bridal. His foot lodged
in a ring of the bridal and voil'a ankle bracelets and necklaces came upon
the earth.
 The cowboys who were prown to drinking lots of redeye and hooch were always
looking for a reason to pick on Bob since most of the women folk began
to look on Bob as a rather snappy dresser. After many embarassing
confrontations ranging from Dead Gulch Montana to Boot Hill in Tucson Arizona
Bob decided that since his drooling problem did not appear to be curable
and tired of the chafing caused by cowboys snuggies he would get into 
the ground floor of the fast paced incense burning industry in India.
 By the time Bob actually got to India most settler women of the era
were already adorned in necklaces, ankle bracelets and ostrich feather hats.
 
 The rest as they say is history.

Sure most all religions are like that, but just because the majority of

>Do balls itch?  And if so, why???

Yes Nancy, on occasion, they itch.  The cause?  There are several
contributing factors.  On men who are not circumcised, the extra 
flap of skin traps droplets of urinary secretions, which occasionally
seep out, and soak the underwear of the male.  This in and of itself
will cause an itching sensation.  However, depending on environmental
factors, such as temperature, and left untreated, this combination of
heat & moisture will contribute to the growth of bacterium, thereby 
increasing the likelihood of the itch factor.  Also, as some people
[male & female] shave all or part of their pubic region, the stubble
of hair growth will possibly cause an itch sensation, much like 
growing a beard sometimes does.  I hope this has enlightened you, Nancy.

Because the Reform movement allows people (including Rabbis) to decide
