(blah blah blah) >> >> But if she is attracted to your wealth, power, fame ... (blah blah blah) You don't *really* think that all women are looking for those things, do you? That would be a pretty insulting generalization to make about the female population. >> As a final note, always remember: A good character,a loving personality >> and other INTERNAL attributes will earn you a long and happy relationship, >> provided you have the EXTERNAL attributes to attract the woman >> in the first place. Some women get off on internals from the start and don't need to be attracted by externals. Admittedly, this doesn't work well if you're trying to start a life-long relationship by finding a nice stranger in a crowded bar (I *still* don't understand how that works), but it's great for relationships that evolve from friendships with people you already know. I find that I feel much more physical attraction to the guys who have what it takes on the inside than I do to the ones who have what it takes on the outside. Conversely, I like for men to like me for what's on the inside. Whenever a guy sees me walking down the street or sitting on a bus stop and immediately decides that he wants to "get to know" me, I get *very* suspicious (and annoyed). I enjoy good looks and status as much as anybody, but if they're not there I don't miss them one bit. And they're certainly not the things that I look for first. And if that's ALL that's there, I don't give 'em a second thought. ****************************************************************************** Joan "the VMS group is moving mountains" Alexander Interactive Systems, Santa Monica, CA I love male (excuse me, I meant to say "mail") cca!ima!ism780!alexander decvax!vortex!ism780!alexander "Opinions expressed herein were not mine originally, but were forced on me at gunpoint by the Interactive Systems Corporation"
