"are aiming for brains, not your male interest in looks. we are a tad more serious than that. laughing. tsk tsk. you smart enough for us to an interest in propogating you?" Actually I am way done propogating and doubt I would make any reasonable cut for the job anyway. A guy can fantasize though can't he? However, I have to challenge your presumptions about your 'we' group. I was in a diverse group in the nineties where roles and expectations were discussed and analysed in depth. All the females claimed just what you are saying, mostly that character is the only thing that would count with them. I found that counter to my personal observations but, as usual, was skeptical of my own perspective. We discussed how each of us had known a few unethical players but the females assured us they hate guys like that and they'd never give them the time of day. That's what I saw watching Oprah too. When she had a show about pick up artists, the guys on stage who were being brutally honest about how easy it is to play females got mass boos and hisses and the audience of females assured them they would never have found them appealing. We had a picnic where dozens of groups like ours convened on a park to celebrate. So then this one guy who was a hunk strolled through the park and all their little heads just about ripped off their shoulders as their cow eyes followed him through the park. I asked our leader (a female) about the contradiction on what was claimed in the group and what I was witnessing. She was a pro and assured me the contradiction is real. There are smart exceptions and no doubt you are one but in general, them's the facts ma'am.
