- Wouldn't have mattered--after all, the second half of my answer was
- about people who _want_ a serious relationship but are repulsed by
- the characteristics and situations that would add up to such a
- possibility. A few days ago I even posted a message about friends
- of mine who currently or in the past have wanted a serious relationship
- but would only consider those who were unable or unwilling to participate
- in such a relationship with them--and when these people who did want
- serious relationships were faced with people appropriate for this
- purpose, they did flee.
