- Sounds like those guys wouldn't have been very well suited for your
- friends even if they had been interested in them and that your friends
- had gotten in the habit of asking out only those who wouldn't be
- interested in them. (After all, judging from the posts here, there
- doesn't seem to be any shortage of males who aren't looking for fashion
- model types--at least among net.users.)
-
- It's been my experience that most people, male or female, aren't even
- most strongly attracted to model-types of either sex and what one
- person finds incredibly attractive (pudgy shoulders, braces, etc.)
- will be of no particular interest to another--so, you just need to ask
- out people whose fetishes match up with your conformation....

- Trygve (Drat! So far nobody's mentioned a fetish for really large
- Nordic weightlifter types with oral fixations.)
