>>>>"It can't be about looks - every one of those girls in the airlines is gorgeous."

Somehow, it can be also, MOD..One will definitely look at someone's face and make a connection. And I tell you, anyone can be "blind"...She need not be strikingly gorgeous to catch a man's attention. She maybe not even be pretty, but surely, something about that person will make any man fall in love.

I will tell you a concrete example. A very special friend of mine, not too long ago gave up our friendship for someone "thick", with small kids, and simply unattractive to most people's critical eyes. But you know what?...She's always there for him, she makes him feel very important, she'll do everything for him, without asking for anything in return (some women are like that, and I respect that). She is someone he didn't have to worry if one day he'll drop her like any other. But one thing for sure, he feels strongly for her, and that's what counts the most.There is no bitterness in my heart, but I recognize the attraction and the special feelings that he finds suitable and acceptable to both of them...I would have not compromised in any way...

<<<"It can't be about "type" - there must be five women of each "type" in this workplace."

And this is very true. Women fall in too many categories. Their unique and individual character makes each one of them stand out from the rest. Oftentimes, once attracted to one, you wouldn't care explore about the in and out beauty of the rest...Unless, you're "THE BACHELOR"

<<<<"It can't be about brains or personality, or what they do for a living, or anything that could be put into a formula."

Like I said, if a man chooses NOT to rationalize things, and rely mostly on what he feels, then, none of the above would matter after all...But what comes after quite a while, specially if one chooses to settle down, all of the above would really, really matter...And yes, we all know that you are not stupid MOD...

<<<< "I am attracted because I (JUST) AM."

You have the liberty to do and feel just the way you do..No questions asked....You are the Master of your fate.

<<<"And then, as it gets deeper into seeing who these women are inside, this attraction either grows, stops where it was (on perhaps just a physical level), or disappears altogether."

That's exactly what my point is MOD...And it usually takes time to grow, but stops where it was if nothing deeper has been explored, or most of the time...it's just a fleeting fancy...

<<< "But still, this attraction is NOT UNDER MY CONTROL."

color black]But of course, MOD...But of course. It's when the equilibrium between mind and heart sets in, everything else starts to make sense.

We know that you "particularly DO", Mod...But more often than not, you don't.

Good evening Dee,

I just want to add something... Rational. People are not rational when it comes to love. They feel all that emotion. As a friend watching on the outside trying to warn them is impossible. Still trying to figure that out...

Tess, my dear friend...You are absolutely right, and I dunno if being a VIRGO is making me different from the rest...I try to rationalize too much and it is working against me...Waaahhhhh!
