To which asya@ux5.lbl.gov (Asya Kamsky) responds:

I'm a little bit puzzled by your aversion, Asya. Except for the "trainable
sexually" phrase, which might just be merely an undiplomatic choice of
words, this guy is espousing the values which you usually do. I read it as
someone looking for a woman who doesn't go out of her way to make herself
look ugly, is liberated and intelligent enough to earn a good living, and
has the good sense to try to keep personalities from ruining a good
relationship.

And I hate to say it, but from the couple of times we've met you struck me
as exactly that kind of person.

But then again, you didn't like >me< either. :-(
