My SO has been a weightlifter since high school, but recently he had to cut back on his training due to medical school (for all you folks who want to marry doctors think twice, no better thrice--if he doesn't have time to lift weights...will he have time to talk to you?). So even though he still has awesome biceps, those lats and abs just don't "rate" with the likes of Frank Columbo or Bob Paris...(I hope no-one is taking me seriously). The point is you have to like the person as a total package instead of rating them on a point system (maybe this has to do with too many multiple choice tests or teacher evaluation forms on scan-trons). Yep I totally agree with the preceding message.. Clare Chu
