Robert, what do you do for a living?  How old are you?   I'm asking because
I may be able to set up a date between you & "Barb".  (You seemed to have
made a great deal about how you don't care about a woman's weight here.  I
don't know if this is some sort of Internet persona you're using in hopes
of attracting dates by showing how sensitive & caring you are (there are
guys who try this) or the real you.  If you really don't care about a woman's
weight, perhaps you should go out with Barb.  It would be good for her and
evidently good for you.....   Do you live near Boston or what?)
