  Some random thoughts on your rather assuming article:

   I *do* like myself. Liking myself does not guarantee that others will.

   I do not like arrogant men with bulging muscles. In fact, I hate them
(partially because of jealousy, and partially because they help perpetuate
a bad stereotype [remember the housewife?] ) I do *not* want to be like
that. I just want to have my share (whatever that is) of good times with
women, and I don't feel as though I've been given a "fair" shake, at least
partially due to my lack of "traditional" male qualities.

    You probably do not know what is like to be without any MOTOS's
being attracted to you. Your article exudes self-confidence. Lucky
you. Some of us aren't so arrogant and so goddamn sure of ourselves.
Some of us have spent the majority of our lives being lonely.

   "DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT". Yes, the generic advice, and the *ultimate*
cop-out. As soon as I figure out what "SOMETHING" is, I will instantly
be a world-famous therapist and theologist (what a combination! just 
think of the royalties!) The point is, it ain't always so easy to
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Often people make themselves miserable trying
to guess what SOMETHING is. Sometimes it's better just to roll with
the punches (and the hugs! :-)

  Thanks to Dave Martindale, for saying most of these same things, and
more, in better words than I could write.
