- Please note that in my original article, I said the following:
-
- "Would you like your feet rubbed?" At this point, if she's completely
- uninterested, and doesn't offer any alternative, you're probably better
- off finding someone else (assuming your taste in physical contact is
- similar to mine).

- In all my searches for female companionship, I've never been interested
- in provoking responses in general, only from those females that *I* have
- an interest in. In other words, I look for *filters* that I can
- broadcast generally. One good example is my perennial .sig of the past
- two years, "Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6". It rarely gets a
- response from someone I'm uninterested in meeting.
-
- It's not that all of this is calculated, mind you. It's more that in
- communicating with others, we need to constantly choose what aspects of
- ours to share. I simply make some effort to publicize those parts of me
- that I think will attract those that I'm attracted to.
-
- While I didn't get into a Relationship until fairly recently, I think
- that one *solid* success and a number of good friends is a pretty good
- record.
