Article-I.D.: uw-beave.561 Posted: Sun May 1 11:52:45 1983 Received: Mon May 2 05:17:30 1983 To quote a female acquaintance of mine: "Women don't want men who are nice; women want men who are exciting!" This is probably as much a comment on her personal definition of "exciting" as anything else, I guess, but I've felt burned when encountering this attitude/behavior in the past. You can plot ways to become more "exciting" if you like (I'd suggest you begin by practicing ways to think a lot less), but my suggestion is to shrug, wheel out the old sense of humor, and watch -- there's a good chance you've stumbled on someone who makes soaps look dull! Personally, I'm content (well, occasionally grateful) to be waiting for someone who's waiting for someone like me.
