Dear Bob, given what Siduri says, I would suggest that you get the pedicure.
Mean girl love, Emily
Siduri is a character in the Epic of Gilgamesh. She is an alewife, a wise
female divinity associated with fermentation. In the Old Babylonian version of
the Epic, she attempts to dissuade Gilgamesh in his quest forimmortality,
urging him to be content with the simple pleasures of life (Gilgamesh, whither
are you wandering? Life, which you look for, you will never find. For when the
gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own
hands. Gilgamesh, fill your belly. Day and night make merry. Let days be full
of joy, dance and make music day and night. And wear fresh clothes. And wash
your head and bathe. Look at the child that is holding your hand, and let your
wife delight in your embrace. These things alone are the concern of
men.)[1]Siduri's advice was recorded in the Old Babylonian version of Tablet X
referred to as the Meissner fragment.

Hey Bob, it's so nice to have you here. You add color and
an extra dimension to this group.
I think you scared Barry which is why he doesn't reply to
you.
We are geneticaly hardwired to see symmetrical faces and
clear skin as attractive. It indicates the genetic health
of the individual, resistance to infections etc. Perhaps it
does irk him a bit when a woman gets attrracted to a baldy
like MMY.
There are 6 categories of immune systems in humans and it's
reflected in facial features and smell. You are attracted
to someone with a complementary immune system. You are not
attracted to someone with a similar immune system.
It's a mechanism by nature to prevent in-breeding. It also
ensures that the ofspring are healthy and have better immune
systems.
Thanks Jason, I plan to read more about this; it could explain why all the
wives are brunettes and I'm blond and our children are all Eurasian, and why
mosquitoes within 100 miles want to make a meal out of me and never lay a
glove on them. I'm thinking it may also explain why I'm attracted to
multilingual women who speak English as a second or third language; unlike
that ungrateful sod Murdoch (remember she almost took a pie in the face for
him)---who, just after filing for divorce, was overheard telling a friend that
after 15 years of marriage he realized had never understood what Wendi was
saying---I happen to believe that not speaking the same first language as your
spouse has some real advantages. I mean, just this morning, the wife asked me
if I would consider getting a pedicure as she is getting fed up with the
scratches I'm leaving on her lovely long legs in the night. After standing
there for a minute, I decided to quote her from my favorite overcoming the
monster plot:
Gilgamesh said, 'I dreamed again. We stood in a deep gorge of the mountain,
and beside it we two were like the smallest of swamp flies; and suddenly the
mountain fell, it stuck me and caught my feet from under me. Then came an
intolerable light blazing out, and in it was one whose grace and whose beauty
were greater than the beauty of this world. He pulled me out from under the
mountain, he gave me water to drink and my heart was comforted, and he set my
feet on the ground.'
The wife's comment was: What if I pay half?

That is interesting - I don't understand why you deplore
the act because of who he did it with? You know the
women and don't like them or what?

I'm going to steer your thread in a slightly different
direction, if you don't mind. For me, one of the most
puzzling things about the whole spiritual-teachers-
boning-their-students thang is that often I really,
really don't get the attraction, from the woman's
side.
Call me guilty of being a lifelong straight guy, but
I simply don't understand women who would find Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi sexually *attractive* enough to want to have
sex with him. Charismatic, maybe, depending on your stan-
dards for that concept. The next thing to god in their
minds, possibly.
But sexually attractive? I just don't get it.
With some *other* teachers, of both sexes, I can definitely
see them being considered sexually attractive by their
students. I mean, like all of her male followers, I sprung
a woodie for Gangaji when I
