I've met tens of thousands of women regarding whom I did not measure the sexual potential (assuming there ever was any) between us. I've also met a fair number regarding whom I did in some way at least momentarily measure that potential in my mind. What I'm saying, Richard, is that while I think there's something to what you said, I wouldn't regard it as a universal rule that applies to all heterosexual men.

I see women who are undoubtedly attractive in a general sense...they have all the basic qualifications...but I feel no interest. I see others where I do feel an interest. Why? Well, various subtle aspects of appearance, visible personality, attitude, whatever...who knows?

I am saying that it's not enough that she just be female and also relatively good looking in whatever sense "good looking" means to me. That just makes her another person, a female person, it doesn't necessarily make her any kind of a sexual possibility in my mind.

I may be in a minority of males when it comes to that. I would gather so from what I've seen over the years. I think a great many men's attitude toward sex borders on complete idiocy, in that they are no more discriminating about whom they mount, given the chance, than a male dog would be in a similar situation. This indicates to me that they are not consciously engaging with another living human personality, they are engaging with an available receptacle. It might as well just be a robot in that case...except where would be the challenge, the sense of conquest, in the case of seducing a robot? Nowhere, unless the robot was programmed to be "hard to get", I suppose... Sheesh. I can see where that might be someone's marketing dream if it could only be made affordable. Rich jerks would be fascinated by fembots that won't "do it" with "just anyone". Think of the sense of ego enhancement when she finally gives in and lets you ravish her inner circuitry.... (grimace)
