- Alright, am i the only guy dumb enough to ask who this woman is?
- sounds like she would probably be a public figure, in which case i can't
- possibly find her that much attractive since the pre-condition to my
- finding a person attractive is that she finds me attractive also.
- yeah, i know, sometimes this reciprocity criterion leads to an infinite loop
- (or dead lock if you prefer) and life isn't as colorful as some novels
- paint it. but i'd rather stay on the safe side; cautiousness is better than
- being hurt upon displaying unrequisited interest.

- you spoke up for me, Mark. thanks. it bugs me at times as how people can
- be attracted to a 2-D image. no doubt at all that the media, the entertainment
- industries and the fashion agencies are doing their best to sell these
- images and quite frankly they are very BEAUTIFUL indeed. but they are
- what they are, images. human emotions, examplified by attraction here, are much
- more subjective and complex than the ephemeral feeling of ecstasy
- errr.. i mean euphoria.. wait, make it pleasure, or maybe comfort, oh well,
- you know what i mean.
