Just out of curiosity, how well do you think you can get to know someone
in 3 to 7 dates?  No offense, but I've found it takes a great deal more
than that.  As for determining whether a woman is worth any further
investment based upon whether she is great or lousy in bed, I don't
understand the criteria.  If she's lousy in bed, well, teach her.  If 
you can't - well, maybe you have something in common after all...;-)

(just kidding)

Seriously, technical proficiency in bed is way, way down the list of
factors for determining whether a relationship is worth the effort...
in fact, I'm not sure if it even makes the list at all...

I must be getting old..;-)

To me, dating someone isn't an investment in them as much as it is an
investment in me.  Getting laid isn't the goal...there are bigger issues
to wrestle with...;-)  (hey, no size jokes, ok? )
