Re: Take 2

"I do not and would not demand that someone be attracted to me sexually without appreciating my sexual parts. Nor do I think, on rereading my entry, that what I said implied that."

I read your post as explaining a certain opinion of some people, not as being an opinion of your own. I was responding to your explanation of some people's opinion, not aiming it at you personally.

"Not wanting to be appreciated solely and only as something pretty doesn't mean I don't want being pretty to be among my characteristics; its being among my characteristics is not the same as it being said that it's my only characteristic."

And that's a good representation of the view I share, in different words.

"And to conclude, are you trying for condescention here?"

No, I think that's a line that I rewrote and forgot to edit out, because your post was so interesting that I replied immediately before going to sleep. I'll be more careful in future. (And, well, what possible reason would I have to condescend to you? I read your stuff because I think you're a neat person, not because I'm looking for something to snipe.)
