There are just a few more principles discovered on my vicarious romantic journeyings that women bent on vamping their friends oughta know about. they can be perverted to suit, and even used to predict behavior, so i guess they are useful. as are most principles, they are actually generic; they appear in the female instantiation for clairity. here they are ( thank you. you're welcome) -- (@) love tends to be endogenous in origin and the people who are exposed to it tend to be black body adsorbers. if you shower a person with an intense stream of high energy affection, you may elicit a simliar radiation providing that the person was in a sufficiently excited state and that love is already present in sufficient quantities along with the proper impurities. it is this endogenousness ( endogenousnosity?) that explains why some sane people go out with complete jerks. remember, in the dark, even red broccoli with blue cheese sauce doesn't look bad. (@) friendship is a barrier to romance only when it preempts sexual behavior and sets precedent. if you are a woman on a first date with someone you would like to know better, wait for him to do something nice for you, then smile and squeeze his arm or hand. ( if he isn't the type to open doors or buy you a drink, ask for a small favor. if he won't grant it, make the two fingers next to your thumb stiff like a board, and drive them wham an inch and a half into the soft flesh just below his xiphoid process. you're better off without him.) such a squeeze is not quite sexual innuendo, so you won't offend him, and, girl, you're blazing trails. (@) if he turns out to be attached, do the decent thing. tell him how lucky he is to have a such a wonderful woman for a friend. if he protests vehemently that he had to buy her a mercedes before she would give him a date, and that his friend told him about tatoos in interesting places that he didn't know about, then the guy is fair game. this has certainly been a fun article to write. kebab anyone? steve serocki University of Californication at San Diego {ucbvax philabs};sdcsvax;sdccsu3;ix222
