Your wife, JJ, probably also has the opinion that people who dance for a

I assume you mean those who dance is sleeazy bars, where you can often

who are in magazines like Hustler, Playboy and Playgirl; who lead a
risque life, etc., are all "totally lacking in taste."

You mean women who pose naked with legs spread wide? Yes she does and I
do as well.

I don't

Why does that not supprise me?

The difference between people like "us" and people like "you" is that we
don't expect anyone to live up to anyone else's expectations or standards.

People like "us" have standards, whereas you obviously don't have any
standards to live up to.

I have no problem at all with your opinion, the opinion of Larry Roll, the
opinion of your wife. I do, however, take great exception to crossing the
line and deciding that it's quite OK for sneering, resorting to desperate
other measures trying to make someone feel embarrassed, etc.

People who do such things would be embarrased if they had any taste,
class or standards.

Whether you or
anyone else realizes it, there are people--such as myself--who have risen
way above letting the opinions of others get in the way of living life
beautifully. But, it takes a lot of work and self-reflection to get there.
And, there are more people who won't ever get there than who are there--and
it is for those people that each and every time someone acts like an asshole
toward another, I will have no problem mimicking the behavior right back at
them.

It is easy to stay in the gutter and just make excuses.

So, tell your wife that I totally respect her opinion--but that is as far as
it goes. I don't "need" the attention of anyone. I am well liked, love
people, work every day to help people succeed and make the best of
themselves, and pick up in a second for the underdog in any situation. And,
I don't know what she thinks I might be suggesting, since it is singly my
husband that I love and he needs no suggestion. Do you?

I guess he likes short and dumpy.
