    JM>   Women, in general, like to be wooed, whether they admit it not, and   
    JM> like to be chased (and not always chaste).  A guy is told no means no,   
    JM> and after being told no once to stop, then the woman wonders why they   
    JM> are never asked out again by the guy.   
      
     Like the song "What Part Of NO, Don't You Understand??".   
      
    JM>   And often they are first to judge someone else by their appearance.   
    JM>   I try to judge others by "the content of their character" but often   
    JM> times their mere appearance is a big hurdle to get over.   
      
     Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.    
      
    JM>   This one fella drove up in a beat up old Chevy Lumnia, rumpled   
    JM> clothes and so forth.  My first thought he wasn't getting on that lot.   
    JM>   I politely asked his name and found out he was the one who gave   
    JM> several million dollars and was the guest of honour.   
      
     Wow.   
      
    JM>   We had a girl on campus who claimed this other student had raped her.   
    JM>   A police investigation was done and from the security camera video it   
    JM> never happened when and where she said it did.  Neither person was seen   
    JM> at that and other locations.   
    JM>   She eventually confesses she was mad at him about something and so   
    JM> accused him of rape.  If not for a video record his life would have   
    JM> been ruined.   
      
     And, recordings don't lie...unless they were hacked like with the ones    
   on certain episodes of "Hogan's Heroes". They don't make shows like that,    
   anymore.   
      
    JM>    I said I didn't pay them much mind, they were young enough to be by   
    JM> granddaughter.  Then added, "Now some hot young mama around 50 might   
    JM> get my attention" and Chase thought that was hilarious.  At his age   
    JM> anyone over 40 was OLD.   
      
     That reminds me of the guy who was best man at my wedding (he died 5   
   months after my wife died...she had a heart attack...he had cancer). He   
   had a salt and pepper beard and moustache like I do (you've seen me ),   
   and one little child came up to him at church one day, and said "You   
   know...you look just like God!!". Needless to say, that stunned him!!    
      
     Another child was horrified when he asked the guy how old he was (he   
   was 65 when he died, but was 50 when he was asked by the child). When   
   he heard "50", the kid sobbed "Are you gonna die??".
