Mark A. Ohrenschall (mao@luna.ngdc.noaa.gov) dissertated forever:
: [snip until scissors become dull]
:
: I humbly submit that most of us don't know what it takes to make love
: relationships work (including friendships to a lesser extent).
: I could go on, but I would be better off giving you some books to read
: about it.

Thank you for the offer, but I think I'll pass it up.  Obviously, Ross
is more in tune with practical approaches to meeting women, and if I
want the benefit of experience, I should listen to what he has to say.
It is easy to be an armchair philosopher, and analyze human strategy
for weaknesses.  It is much more difficult to prove yourself in the
context of the human stage.  I'll take the proven over the theory.
:
: So, how many beautiful women do you want to take to bed?  This may sound like
: a strange measure of success, but personally, I'm shooting for a low number
: myself.  Number of women that is, not the number of times.  Think about it.

That's an absolutely ridiculous and manipulative question, based on
assumptions and not fact.  You have decided to portray someone's measure
of success as the number of women they've taken to bed.  Perhaps you've
never understood dating... I don't know.  You seem to be way off base.
What happens if you think about this:  If you had two dozen women to
choose from at any one time, wouldn't you choose the one that you
really wanted to be with?  If we all had dozens of women who wanted
our time, we would pursue a relationship with the one we really wanted
to be with, and not because "it's the best we can do right now".
