Best laugh of the day. Many thanks. :-) It's true, isn't it? I mean, as a guy, my problem with Clinton giving Monica a taste of his cigar was not the act, but his *taste*, dude. JFK at least had the presence of mind to bed Marilyn Monroe. :-) > Most of them looked and acted like frumpy old maids, and > about as 'happy' as anyone could be in that situation. > Same thing for the guys--like uptight nerds. Why do you think I scored like a bandit back in the TM-70s? It certainly wasn't because of my looks or my charisma. I just didn't have much competition. :-) > I always wondered, when I would see those groups, "Why would > anyone want to do that to themselves?"

And Chopra, much less Rajas.

However, given human nature, I would imagine that four or five of them really share the "big money maker" crown, so I would expect there to be some *other* criterion that these four or five would use to define the absolute pecking order.

Freud would have a field day with > those two groups. Yes he would. But I have some compassion because I've been there, done that, and worn out the T-shirt. Several times. I stayed too long in most of my amatory affairs, and I stayed too long in most of my spiritual affairs. I hung in there long past the day when I realized it was over, sometimes years past the day when I realized it was over, often to the detriment of my spiritual and mental health. But hey!, we all do stupid shit. It's one of those perks you get for being born human.
