I have +_+a theory that men of my generation (born in the 50's and early 60's), due to +_+early conditioning, really don't want BEAUTIFUL women; rather, they want CUTE +_+women. (One contemporary and fellow-sufferer of mine has frequently been +_+known to find cute women attractive, but not beautiful ones.) I suspect that +_+men around my age (29 on 06/22), no matter how liberated they may claim to be, +_+still carry the image that the ideal woman is cute and not too intelligent -- +_+i.e. that the woman will still be a little girl when she's 40, so the man can +_+be the strong one in the family. There is only one thing to say about this: ~I want a girl, just like the girl, that married dear old mom...~ (better if sung offkey, of course) +_+Further support for this theory may be seen in the fact that the young lady +_+I have dated sporadically for the last several months is beautiful (a trifle +_+overweight, but less so than many women who have successfully attracted men) +_+and very intelligent (she is approaching a Ph.D. in a highly technical field); +_+and she has had great difficulty in attracting men. Hmm... I can see how you two relate-- you both have difficulty in attracting men... Actually, she sounds good to me, if you get tired of her give her my name. -- From a hunting lodge for rich weirdos: Chuq Von Rospach {amd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui (408) 733-2600 x242 Every single day, and every word you say, every game you play, every night you stay, I'll be watching you.
