British women
Don't send me hate mail
I've heard that the ratio of women to men is 8 to 1 in Britian.
Is this true?
This sounds like the place for me to be!!
The compition is too fierce here in the U.S.. It's about 50/50 . I
can't get a date over here!! Either the girls are lying to me or they
are really dating someone or they are married.
I'm planning a trip to Europe this summer and would like to make some
female friends while I'm over there.

8 to 1? What a ridiculous idea. Its actualy closer to 20 to 1.
That is due mostly to certain British sexual practices (which I dare
not name in public) in which the female partner strangles her lover
while in the throes of orgasm.
In Victorian times it was not unusual for her to then devour the
lucky man, but that practice was outlawed under EU legislation
sometime in the 70's. That did cause a major public health hazard
for a time, but the privatisation of funeral parlours, and their
consequent expansion, have largely rectified the 'disposal' problem.

I'm sure you'll be most welcome, but do remember to apply salt and
vinegar *before* approaching the ladies, its most ill-mannered to use
it in their presence.

Beth, don't take me wrong, but I wish you wouldn't denigrate yourself. You're
far from old, you certainly aren't ugly and in many people's books your
weight isn't exceptionally large. You're right about the brightness and
company, though.
I missed the orginal post as I killfile on multiple crossposts, but looks
aren't as important as intellect and personality.

Well as a severly disabled person, with a blindingly obvious deformed
body, I have found that in this case its true in 99% of (womens)
minds. Friendship, sympathy, pity, well meaning talk about, how you
are such a sweet, wise, courageous guy, etc etc, and I`m not
predjudiced and there`s someone out there for you ( but never them )
are what usually are given, but anything tending towards a
relationship, no. Perhaps I`m too passive, a symptom of what I am, and
with those I have felt good about I just continue in my own way, never
being pushy and thus they slip away and find someone else...
Anyway enough of that ranting, the friends I do have are special to
me.......and maybe that 1% will show up one day

It is, it can also be stupid and illogical which
is what I hate most about it. I don't mind the blind
bit since there is much more to people than just the
exterior looks.

I was absolutely blown away by someone who I'd not
even met (the stupidiy playing it's part) and despite
realising that I was in for a very hard time even if
things had worked out, I was still madly in love and
totally willing to take whatever hurt could come (the
illogical part) - to me she was just mindblowing, and
even after spending time with her I didn't consider looks
much, although they played a part.

I agree. Too many people mistake infatuation based on physical
attraction for a deeper connection based on other factors. The problem
with this approach is that physical beauty often fades quickly, and (if
that's the only basis for a relationship) so will the relationship
itself.

as do I, totally; to me, it's far more about someone becoming your best
friend *first*, and, in the fullness of time, *maybe* becoming your
'mate'<tm>, lover, or whatever, as a possible natural progression
(or not :-( )
>unless we take the line that love is blind?
For me, I'm afraid it was - see below
>I know the guy I am besotted with was *totally* physically unappealing
>to me when I met him. Even now I would have to be honest and admit that
>he is no oil painting - but to me he is *gorgeous*.
<coredump, mode=romantic>
I know that the woman I *used* to be besotted with (from about 7 years
ago until nearly 3 years ago) became first and foremost a *very* close
friend, and only *then* did I become interested in her as a possible
'mate' (that's how it works with me), but sadly nothing more came of it;
she chose another, with whom, I am told by a third party, she is happy.
To me (and to many others), she is gorgeous, too. But physical
attraction, although most certainly there, was not the foundation of our
friendship (and of my love for her); it was a meeting of minds, of
outlooks on life, of viewpoints, of understandings, of reasons for
delight or laughter; of intuition as to each others' feelings. The
sudden, delightful, shared look and warm, infectious grin that instantly
confirms your parallel thoughts about a situation. The instinctive train
of thought or plan of action which is born of understanding of each
others' way of being; which grows in carrying out those plans, driven by
the instinct that what you are doing *feels* right, *is* right, and will
be good for both of you; and which matures with the look of delight, the
cry of joy, the kiss, the hug, the dance together round the room, or
whatever else may ensue, that is not so much a direct response to what
one has done, but far more a delighted appreciation of the thoughts and
instincts which prompted one's actions. Knowing, and not needing to
worry or question. Being comfortable and at ease together.
But I was still suddenly and unexpectedly shot down out of a cold
November 1994 sky, with the port engine trailing smoke, and with very
little control (no website, so can't post the allegorical story); and
the crash landing and subsequent repairs *hurt*. Since then I haven't
been able to believe in love again. There have been a few sparks, some
recent and some less so, but each time now I have to force myself to
open up my fusebox, firmly pull out the fuse for that circuit, and lock
it back away in the safe, on those occasions when it has sneaked out of
the aforesaid place and back into its holder, lest I cause anyone
heartache or embarrassment with my clumsy feelings.
</coredump>
Beth, I trust you won't think me presumptuous or arrogant in saying that
I do at least know how you feel. I hope your luck turns out a *lot*
better than mine (mind you, that can't be difficult :-)).
OK, if I get *plonked* by anybody, or indeed everybody, so be it; but
what's above is the honest truth and I can do no better than that.
Regards,
Andrew.

Absolutely and utterly untrue. I was having the most delightful
telephone conversation with a lady of my acquaintance recently. It was
completely non-sexual, completely non-erotic, but quite intimate in terms
of the sharing of hopes, fears, etc.
And the emotional connection resulting from that intimacy certainly got
me physically aroused.
I think anyone who relies on physical beauty alone to get turned on is
only heading for disappointment, since that will someday fade. And then
where will your relationship be?

I totally agree on that too., having been "there". It doesnt require
sight to become physically aroused, nor does it take, cheap sexual
talk a la 0898 etc numbers, if we`re talking conversation only.. Just
sometimes the conversation with the person gets into close emotional
waters, as you said, and a "connection" is made. Call it if you will,
a precursor of "love". I think its that you beging to "feel" you are
giving them needed emotional support, or things along this line and
its this bonding that is stimulating..
After all, by that rather one diminseional attiitude, how do blind
people fall in love , or becomed aroused ?
Ahh, but then again, what if you meet this person and they are a pile
of green bubbling slime..heh !!

And I think that packaging is extremely important, I frequently judge
people by their looks and would mostly rather go out with someone good-
looking, superficial, loud, with big hair.

Actually, as far as the UK is concerned, you seem to've managed to
completely invert this! There're more women than men in the UK, but
in the 25-50 agegroup women are significantly outnumbered by men,
according to various sources.

Oh dear, how shallow some blokes can be. OTOH, this is the same criterion
women apply to prospective dates, so I shouldn't be so damning, I suppose!

Actually, it *was* meant ironically. I have actually met very few (women

aphrodisiac. (My ex wife is one.)

Well they say love is blind - and so is sexual attraction. A voice, a
smell, a touch, a dream - all can start the ball rolling just as
instantly as a glimpse.

You are sadly misguided.
There are actually 200 men for every woman in Britain, and as male harems
are against the State Religion, 199 have to kill themselves at the
mass selections each summer solstice.
Visitors are welcome to this touching ceremony, as long as they take part.

On the friendship thing I agree. Its important to start out as
friends, but experience has shown that if you run the friendship thing
for too long, then a relationship becomes highly unlikely. If two
people have any feeling towards each other, and usually, as friends or
not, these will surface earlier rather than later, then thats the time
to act on them.. Otherwise the tendency is for all the usual cliches
along the lines of "we can`t get involved, our frienship would be
ruined" etc and hesitation, fear etc to surface, Any dual feelings
for each other tend to go out of sync from then on, following which
the friendship usually breaks up, or becomes somewhat less than it
was...
There are always exceptions to the rule though....

Well, you don't know me and Feef very well then do you? She owes me one
after giving me the cold from hell and laringitis when I was already over
due to have my baby. I had my fingers crossed for a week that I wouldn't
go into labor, it would have been no fun if I couldn't scream!

Hate to tell you this, Ariel, but Hugh Grant aint exactly Britains

Steve, a/k/a Agrippa, writes regarding American women's preferences for
Englishmen's accents:
"Aye Ariel, I`ll agree with you on that....having been on IRC in the
past, and now "the Palace", you`re right in saying the American female
just luurrrves the accent......they`re constantly saying so.....hmm,
and there are far more women over there "looking" in relation to men,
compaired to sad old UK..heh. Ariel, I did go over there......she
loved my voice...but don`t think she could quiet cope with my
body....ahh well. Maybe next time."
Steve, you should have snuck out to the bars and found someone who could
"cope" with your body... With Englishmen, I think the attraction begins
with the accent, then we're hooked by the mannerisms (I refer to
gentlemen, now), and frankly, if a man is attentive and appreciative
enough towards a woman, very few physical drawbacks he may have will
impede mutual desire or devotion on her part.
"IT depends though on what you think of as an accent....hopefully not
the cliched "Bob hoskins cockney", or sauve royal......there are quite
a wide variety over here..form the worst.....Birmingham....sorry any
Brummies reading.....and I was born there...but I escaped young...to
the other extremes, of the really far back 20 plums in your mouth.
Take your pick."
No, you're right here, Steve--Hoskins will never be a sex symbol in the
States, for various reasons... but I have other "sister" Anglophiles on
AOL who don't care what sort of British accent a man has. They like
everything from English Cockney to Scottish burrs and Irish brogues. I
must confess I prefer the posher, cultivated accents... too much taken for
Grant-ed: as in Hugh, Richard E., Cary, et alia.
I am absolutely enthralled that so many American women all over are as
Brit-crazed as we are on AOL... I'm actually trying to organize us, at
present. ;-))
How much room did you say you have? We're a small group, so far, we
"hardcore regulars" on-line over there... I hope to build us all into our
own separate country, some day... Britain isn't doing any more colonies
these days, is it? LOL ;-D
Keep in touch, luv... I'll e-mail you separately when they're all up on my
web site.

She may not have said it explicitly, but that's certainly the impression
I get from her posts. She doesn't seem to have grasped that English and
British are not interchangeable, that Irish is not covered by either and
that failing to understand the difference between the three is not
likely to win her many friends around these parts.
I'm just surprised it seems to have taken some people several days to
spot her lack of cluefullness.
