>>...the fact that women look for men like their fathers... > Wouldn't be surprising if, in fact, women seek men that remind them > of their fathers. What about those women who never grew up with their "real" fathers (i.e, a stepfather or no father at all)? Who do they seek? If they have older brothers that they looked up to, might they not seek men like them? I've had this pointed out to me, where I was praising my older brother who I look up to and admire (as well as love) greatly. The man I was speaking to asked if maybe I was looking for someone just like my brother and as I thought about it, I can see that maybe I am. About the 70% of married men that fool around, the statistics sound right to me, but I wonder how many married women also fool around? I suspect that the number may not be quite as large, but quite large enough. * Micci Dennee ** Bell Communications Research *** Red Bank, NJ 07701-7020 **** ...nvuxg!micci *******************************

I've read of surveys revealing, for example, that *97%* of married French women have an affair sometime during their marriage. It sounds incredible, but is, apparently, true. -- Michael McNeil 3Com Corporation "All disclaimers including this one apply" (415) 960-9367 ..!ucbvax!hplabs!oliveb!3comvax!michaelm I know perfectly well that at this moment the whole universe is listening to us -- and that every word we say echoes to the remotest star.

I find it amazing that 100 percent of the folks reading this net are tossing about statistics re: infidelity and parenthood like they were ballpark stats. REALLY!!!!! "Does it require penetration?" Aw c'mon! Jimmy Carter lusted in his mind and fatherhood never played a factor. Does motherhood curtail randy thoughts. Nahhh. People are horny, folks. SO THERE! Now that we have established a basic truth, lets talk about other stuff. How about those Cubbies? Think they got a chance at the pennant again? E *****
