Hmmm, did I start this? My relationships usually started with lots of sex
and then slowed down to more love and less sex. What would have worked better
for me would have been more love and the same amount of sex!

A divorcee that I have dated who complained about an ex-spouse being sexually
less than satisfying couldn't get enough of me and I couldn't get enough of
her! :+)

Her kids hated me and I didn't exactly like them either. :+(
This relationship never got to a point serious enough to move in together.
It was a hot affair, and her kids were the fire department. :+(

I think this divorcee phenomenon might be related to the fact that a man's
sex drive generally peaks at age 18 and a woman's generally peaks at 35.
While he loses interest, hers is only getting stonger. 

Sadly, some men never really take the time to make love to a woman completely 
or they never learn how usually because of some form of inhibition. This is
their loss and on one occasion this was my gain(if only for one good month.)

If not for her spoiled kids, I think the heat would still be on.

Well, that describes me perfectly, so maybe there's something to be said
for it.  :-)

Are you willing to settle for a couple of counterexamples or do you want
it logically shot down?  It seems to me that the fact that type O blood
is the majority, but very few people are warm and logical would shoot this
in the foot right away.  Sounds more like it's trying to flatter the majority
of the listeners (AB is only 2% of the population, so few listeners are going 
to be called fickle.)

Virginia oppossums beg to differ with you, sir!  Not only did their South
American relatives survive the invasion of North American placentals, but they
successfully invaded the placental stronghold.  (And the crawlspace underneath
the parental abode in Florida.)

As they are for New Zealand's non-marsupial, native fauna.  Living on an
island, even one the size of a continent, is not conducive to developing
effective defense strategies.  But how, sir, did those placentals swim to
either Australia or New Zealand?

I dunno. It's always seemed to me that an echidna, when confronted
with the unfamilar, will dig itself into a position and act prickly!
Hardly sociable, but it does show some similarity to certain of the
more objectionable posters on USENET!!!! Platypuses are shy but much
more mobile than echidna's. Their first response to unfamiliar threats
is avoidance, but when cornered they do have a secret weapon: a
poisonous spur on each hind leg. I don't care to draw an analogy to
human behavior here! 

Now what I'm waitng for is a posting by a wombat (that thing in my
sig)! After all, they are the brainiest of the marsupials, and if
Sandra's and Diana's cats can post....

Your question seems to presuppose that all women prefer muscled, hairy men.
However, a woman could realize that the man building those big muscles may
be too preoccupied with the body he sees in the mirror to tend to the needs
of *her* body.  According to surveys, many have.

As for baldness, it's a sign of masculinity, and many discerning women are
aware of this.  Opinions are mixed on the attractiveness of male body hair.

A quick personal observation from experience... When you meet someone, make
sure you place them into one of two areas: friend or boyfriend/girlfriend.
Nothing lies in between.  I met this girl who confused me... wasn't sure if
I should ask her out or not.  On the one hand we were great friends, on the
other I found her attractive and wanted to go out with her.  I wish I had
made up my mind one way or the other right from the start.  Take my 
friendly advice all... it's either one way or the other.  Don't mix the two.
This is not to say that your girlfriend/boyfriend shouldn't be your friend!
But if your confused as I was... that's trouble.  Just my view of life :*)

Don't have any good advice for you, just an anecdote about my
experience:

I'm Jewish, and for many years I promised myself that I would limit any
relationships to Jewish females.  Well, guess what?  I met an absolutely
wonderful woman who wasn't Jewish.  We sort of slid into a relationship;
at the beginning, I basically told her LJBF.  About a month after I
admitted to myself -- and her -- that we were in a relationship, I had a
religious crisis, where I had to decide between my religion and my
relationship.  I chose her.

I don't know what I would have done had she pushed me into making a
decision, but it looks to me like your friend isn't going to take the
initiative the way I did.  IMHO, you should arrange a time for
discussing this, and say (perhaps more diplomatically), "I love you very
much, and I want a real relationship with you.  It's tearing me apart to
have this half-relationship, and I want you to decide -- not necessarily
right now, but soon -- where you want the two of us to go."

   have recently met an incredible woman (about 31) with, to put it

Could it be a state of mind?  Look at Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Swaggart,

Well, it was the only brush with criminality that I could find on my father's
side of the family.  Among my mother's, though, two were arrested in 1730 on
a charge of "traveling on Sunday."  However, they were able to get the
Massachusetts General Assembly to quash the sentence and have the fine
remitted.

Hey, what's the deal?  Isn't someone going to inform us how the Boink was?  Any
