    If you like science fiction would you be a good engineer?

    That's funny, and I can see how it would be true. I loved Asimov's Foundation series. Consider him included.

    Underwater Hotel Room in Fiji: Live Like a Sea Monkey!

    Let's hope the guy that maintains the ventilation systems doesn't get lazy before the earthquake. Think they need a window washer? ~the door is ajar.

    Am I being over-protective?

    I wouldn't say anything quite so strong myself. He had some good qualities that I didn't mention, but you formed an opinion on what I told you. No worries. He enlisted in the Navy at the end of WWII and served in Korea. He was in the submarine service during part of the cold war. After...

    Am I being over-protective?

    I'm still not sure if I correctly interpreted what you meant by platonic as strictly and definably seperate. I took a guess based on what you had written in that post and went with it. Other than that I think we are good. I normally wouldn't describe another man as sexy because it instantly...

    Am I being over-protective?

    No accounting for taste on my part apparently, but yes, I think he's a sexually attractive man. No, I'm not gay, but I've been called that before several times. Once by a roomate who was a divorced wife beater/deadbeat dad, and another time by a great uncle who was over 70 and liked to crudely...

    Am I being over-protective?

    A person can have any number of qualities I consider attractive and not be considered sexually attractive. A person can also be considered sexually attractive without desiring to have sex with that person. Attractiveness describes a quality, or group of qualities, that draws my favorable...

    Am I being over-protective?

    Yes, it is good for my self-image to not ignore possible relationships with people because I am not (sexually) attracted to them. It would be bad for my self-image if I only desired people based on their level of sexual appeal to me. I do consider it necessary to make friends of good people...

    Am I being over-protective?

    I don't see anything wrong with considering a person attractive. My sister is an attractive woman. Considering a person attractive doesn't make a relationship non-platonic. Sexual desire does. If two people can have a relationship without that desire then I don't understand how the relationship...

    Am I being over-protective?

    Point taken. Thanks. I'll try to say goodbye to my scary uncle.

    Am I being over-protective?

    Mostly dead or completely dead? It's psychology of personality. In another decade it will turn out that Freud was right after all. Then he will be wrong again. It's flotsam drifting on the tide. If you don't believe that people are sometimes unaware of the reasons they do things then fine. I...

    Am I being over-protective?

    It is necessary for me to spend time with women I'm not (sexually) attracted to. I like some of those women. They're good people. My life has been better for knowing them. I think it is close-minded, bad, indecent, uncaring to exclude good people from one's life simply because one doesn't find...

    Am I being over-protective?

    Those weren't exaggerations. It appeared to me you believe all relationships that aren't familial or have a large age difference also have a sexual component to them. If the only thing enforcing such a rule is a social norm then there will be people outside those norms. If it is a biological...
