Gluts? Pecs?  I never dated a man who had much of either.  I loved
a man mostly for his mind.  If he could challenge me mentally, I wouldn't
be bored.  Luckily, I married a combination of Dr. WHo and a Zen Master,
who
tardis is continually confounding him.  His office is maze of pc boards and
half of Radio Shack electronics store.  I bought him a T-shirt for
Christmas
that says, "You can never be too good-looking or own too much
equipment."

You sound like a pretty smart guy to me, John.  All you have to do is
find someone as smart as yourself. : -)
