Weezel, please don't get me confused with other posters; yes there was a guy
who wanted sex on the first date -- I WAS NOT HIM.  (Actually, with all the
diseases, etc., I've never really wanted sex with any woman on a first date;
it'd be too scarey!!!!)

And, yes, I totally agree with you on the looking more than skin deep bit;
it's just than in practice I've seen that most women are very much attracted
to a guy who has great looks and/or the appearance of having money.  Being
an average Joe really is a disadvantage here.  Yes, and personality can make
a bit difference, too.  The point I was trying to
make with the money bit is that, as a guy, I'm grateful that I have the
option to change me desirability so readily.  That is, women are judged
by their looks (pretty much you got what you gots) while guys are judged
by their money.  (Of course this is NOT a hard and fast rule and there
are gazillions of exceptions, but you know there's some grain of truth
to what I'm saying here....)
