   Louise, I think I can not quite agree with your "translation" of the
   gentlemen's statment. I would like to draw your attention, in particular
   to the where he states, "...I really don't think this really is the
   preferred mode of living & loving; but for a certain segement of the
   male population..." I believe that John is stating that he understands
   the motivations of those discussed and that he is not necessarily a
   member of that segement of the population of which he speaks. A fine
   point, but I think it is an important one here. Unfortunately, I think
   that there are folk (some fairly high profile ones at that...) who 
   appear to "live and love" that way.

   Personally, the "life style" described above is not for me. I'm not
   particularly attractive (corpulent and balding to mention only two)
   nor am I all that financially well off, I make a comfortable living.
   I can not honestly say how I would live my life if I were more the
   ideal of handsome or was financially well off.

    I happen to agree with the above, just not the use of the personal
    pronouns, for the reasons stated above.
