Jack--
Men seem to have "con antennas" which are more finely tuned than those of women.
Fighting words, these. In my own view--and I suspect I'll be seconded by many women--men are frequently dreadful judges of character, impressed as they are by status, position, and title. Yes, there are women like that, but many fewer of us. I've seen quite a number of men I know personally utterly taken in by guys in positions of authority, never really noticing that they were jerks.
And I don't think Clinton actually did score with the girls in high school--even he has made jokes about being the kid in the Big Boy jeans.
I don't find him sexually attractive, though since I don't know him I can't really come to any conclusions on that point. My own feeling, probably shared by many women (and men) is that the Whitewater allegations are pretty small cheese compared to the misdemeanors of other presidents, and in fact Starr's been unable to prove anything except that he had sleazy friends. Which, I fear, is very often the case with politicians.
And what I've read--here and elsewhere--over the past week suggests to me that oddly, men may be more prudish about sexual adventurism than are women.
