Dear Lynn…
Dear [Lynn],
Wow, you’re quite the computer expert. One neat thing about Eudora Pro is that you can embed images right in the body of your email messages. In theory, they should show up ‘in line’ and not as attachments. But not sure if this feature works that well yet. The person you’re sending such ‘in line graphics’ messages to must have a reader that also supports embedded images and conforms to the same MIME standards as Eudora. Ho hum.
Yep, gotta make sure you stay current.
Greatly insightful discussion with you last night, particularly regarding beauty. That weak-in-the-knees, thumping heart, sweaty palms, euphoric feeling that the ‘beautiful’ people seem to induce in others, is not conveyed by strictly their physical attributes. As we discovered, there are emotional, social, and mental factors involved as well. Thus, the criticism often levied against folks drawn by this attraction to ‘beautiful’ people (namely that they are shallow since they place excessive emphasis on physical beauty and not enough on the personality), is largely unfounded. But admittedly, we all have different motivations. So it’s easy to imagine a person who is moved much more by physical attributes than the mind of his mate. E.g. the older fellow with the young, ditsy gum chewing beauty on his arm. Clearly, his motivations are less mental and much more ego or physically based, ‘eh?
Nice signature. But I do not agree fully with it. Certainly what’s in a woman’s heart DOES contribute lots to the level of beauty that others see in her. But to totally dismiss the EXTERNAL factors (clothing, figure, and hair style) and the role THEY play in creating attractiveness, disregards mounds of anthropological data. Many species over the eons, used visual cues to attract mates. E.g. the broad-winged peacock or the humming mosquito. Dismissing the roles of these physical factors is tantamount to tossing the sugar, spice, and MANY things nice out the window when baking a cake. Without these, the cake will not taste very good. Ignore the important roles of the visual cues in a relationship, and you’ve removed a big motivating factor to keep the relationship going strong.
More later.
