Hello net.singles!  Do you have room for another Mark?  I usually use my
nickname "Bucky" in situations where there are several Marks.

Anyway this is my first attempt at posting, so please be patient.
I just got done reading several hundred of your messages (whew!) and
couldn't wait to reply, so enough with the formalities!

1. Well one question that has plagued me is:  What is meant by "Accidental
     Pregnancy" ?  Ever since I heard the term, it struck me as being an
     oxymoron.  How can pregnancy be accidental?  A man and women make love.
     Sure they can take precautions and all to avoid pregnancy, but what is
     the basic purpous of sex?  Isn't it for reproduction?  It's not as if
     I took precautions against having an accident at work and then had one.
     That would be unexpected.  No form of birth control is 100% effecive to
     my knowledge, so it should be expected that one could become pregnant.
     Maybe the term should be "Unwanted Pregnancy".  Please enlighten me on
     the subjec.  Maybe my logic is backwards or contradictory as is often
     the case, but upon further analysis it usually is correct.  Whatever!

2. Also, reading about make-up, I usually like a woman who wears little or
     no make-up.  I was wondering how net.single.women would fell if they
     like to wear a lot of make-up and their SO, boyfriend, etc. asked them
     to wear less.  Would you be offended?  Conplimented?  Do you wear it to
     impress your SO or potentials, or do you wear it because you want to?
     I guess you get the general idea.

3. I also agree with Doug(?) about women being teases, especially after my
     last encounter.  (California women anyway.  My friends believe society
     is programming them that way.)

4. Also, I don't know why many of the women I know think I am rich.  I tell 
     them I'm driving a 1969 Olds Cutlass and have an okay job as a computer
     Op. , but they don't believe me until they get to know me better and
     then lose interest.  Do they want to believe I'm rich?  What could I
     possibly be doing to appear as such?  I dress normally, act normal etc.

5. Is this when I put on my asbestos suit?

I thought this was an inside joke:  *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
I see it so often.

Well, enough for now.
