Many of us consider it important that our life partners share our general
outlook on life.  Our outlook on life is very much related to our
religion.  Therefore, it is completely appropriate for those of us who
feel this way to look for potential partners who share our religion.

There are major difference between Christian and Jewish outlooks on life.
(...as most American Jews are aware, as we live in a Christian-majority
country.)

For an individual, to whom religion itself is important, to consider religion
as an important criterion when choosing potential life partners is
completely reasonable, and a good idea.

We don't live in an ideal world.  Religious differences exist.  It would
be stupid to ignore this fact!

Rather:

   A woman knows within the first ten seconds whether or not she will "sleep"
with you -- so refrain from saying anything until the 10 seconds are up.

(Actually, sometimes seduction takes several months, not a mere 10 seconds).

   Does this actually happen?  TV doesn't count :).  I've only noticed women
   looking away the moment anyone might look back.  That's not a criticism; I
   haven't noticed what men generally do.  Is that another feature which is
   unique to New England?  

Here in western civilization (oxymoron, I know) we seem to have a
major problem with the inability to make and maintain eye contact with
another person.  Our usual response is to look away.  For any one of a
number of reasons, but usually because we "don't want them to think
we're staring at them" or some such bunk.  Lets face it -- when you
make eye contact, you are trying to get someones attention.  My
feeling is just go with it.  If they aren't willing to meet your gaze,
then they probably are not interested in making contact with you...

REPORT: Archeological Expedition to Planet Three

   This item is a translation of a piece of information contained in magnetic
media within what the inhabitants termed "The Smithsonian". It was preserved
as an example of the "Wit and Wisdom of President Zank", who was elected
as leader of the "Hopelessly Juvenile" Party in the last elections before
the catastrophe which destroyed this species.
   We may compare this with the declaration of war that President Zank made,
shortly after Premier Tsu of "The Chinese Capitalist Republic" announced his
engagement to "Miss Universe" - "If I can't get any babes, no-one should be
able to get any !".
   This ties into the comment made by a Major Martha Adams, leader of the
military unit which accompanyed President Zank into his bunker during the
concluding stages of the conflict, as the last entry in her diary -
   
   "The Secretary for State just committed suicide. As far as we can tell, 
the nuclear winter has wiped out every single living human being from the
face of the planet, save for the 500 women of the 1st Amazon Marine Unit,
and President Zank, the last remaining male.
    Sorry, Posterity, but with his charisma, I fear the human race is doomed.
I'm passing out cyanide pills to the troops now."

Well, George, here are some single words that may work for you:

   Hi.

   Hello.

   Howdy.

Some of the really big powerlifters at the local club use this one
(I'm not sure about the spelling):

Actually, this is the only word that they ever use.  It does seem to

Well, Greg, at this point your guess is better than mine.  I do have a few  
questions, though.

1. Have you asked Angela's mom why she dislikes you so much (hate is such  
a strong word)?  That would be the first thing to do.  Also, ask for  
specific examples. (e.g. destroying her family....HOW?)  

2. Has Angela's relationship with here mother changed since you started  
dating her?

3. Is there anything in your past(or present) which might bother her  
mother to the point that she wouldn't want you to date Angela?

4. What about Angela's father?  How does he treat you?

5. What might have triggered the downward slide of your relationship with  
her mother?

6. Has Angela changed since you started dating?

You obviously did something to tick off her mother.  Maybe after you are  
able to talk to Angela after the break, she can clear some things up as  
well.  I'm willing to bet that they've had LONG converstations about you  
and your relationship with Angela.  Other than that, I can only wish you  
luck.  I've been in a similar situation, and I know that it's rough.  Just  
hang in there, and try to work it out.

Actually, it depends on the age group. In the approximately 30 year
old range, women get many more responses than men. A female friend of
mine received 50 responses for an ad place for one week (in the
Seattle Weekly). I put an ad in this summer and received 18 responses
over three weeks.

I have neighbors who met through the personals. They are in they're
early fifties. They told me that in their age group it's men who get
much more response. It seems that they are a lot less available older
men then older women. When my father started dating again after my
mother died (he was 62), he had more women than he could deal with
pursuing him.

I met my SO through her personal ad. Our relationship is still pretty
new, but the personal ads can work.

Apologies if I have chosen the wrong groups in which to make this query,
but I don't know of any more appropriate.

My question concerns the "quickie" divorces one sees in the movies and
on TV, the kind where one partner in the marriage drives down to Las
Vegas or Tiajuana or somewhere, walks into a seedy looking place, plunks down
a few (hundred?) bucks, and walks out a free (wo)man. Do these places really
exist, or are they merely a Hollywood concoction? How can I find out more
information on such places? Proverbial Disclaimer: this info isn't for
me, it's for a friend of mine. Really. ;-) I'm not nor have I ever been
married. It's just that in Illinois the divorce laws say that one must
wait at least 6 months between the time the divorce is filed and the
time it becomes finalized (and that's only in an uncontested situation;
if the spouse fights it, it takes something like 2 years). This person
is interested in finding a faster way out. If you have any information
at all on this subject, please email me. Thanks!
