I wonder if there exists a woman


where I live that is compatible with me. My standards are probably too strict, but I'm not going to lighten up.

A woman that regularly drinks alcohol is of no interest to me. I have no understanding of why people consume a liquid that is poisonous and very expensive. Many women in my area drink alcohol. In fact, because I don't drink, I am regarded as strange. I guess it's strange to have no desire to destroy oneself.

A woman that smokes cigarettes is also of no interest to me. I have no understanding of why people suck on expensive pieces of paper with poisonous chemicals wrapped inside.

Even if I were to find a woman that doesn't drink and smoke, there is still a huge problem. I read books.

Because I read books, I have some knowledge. I have learned that sharing knowledge from books makes one appear unattractive and strange. So I say as little as possible around women. If I reveal that I am educated, then I get strange looks and they will stop talking to me.

So, my problem is twofold:

1. Find a woman that does not smoke and drink.
2. Find a woman that meets #1 and does not fear men with knowledge.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

You seems to be a wanderful and perfect human being in this world. I am agreed of you that drinking alcohol and samoking is not good for health. However, in some social occassions to drink or smoke a little bit is considered to be acceptable. In other words, this is so called "enjoy ones life", otherwise, you will be isisolated. I have no intention to encourage anyone here to drink or smoke. I am also have no intention to insult your own feeling. Thnak you.

Hi T_E,

In answer to your final question...

1. That rectangular wooden thing in the wall that's stood on its end like the monolith in "2001 A Space Odyssey", possibly with three rectangular glass panels set into it on a diagonal above half way up... It's called a door. Open it.

2. Have a look and see what's on the other side, and if everything looks safe (or relatively so) walk forward into the open air.

3. You didn't mention that you considered some of the muck served up in diners to be detremental to one's health, therefore I am assuming that there is a "dangerous streak" lurking inside you. Find a diner and enter it.

4. The waitress (who is likely to be a female of sorts) will bring you coffee and something claiming to be food. Consume both in moderate quantity, but do not accept the offer of a free refill of the coffee. Too much coffee is bad for the health.

5. Engage the waitress in conversation. You never know, she may speak English and may even have read a book once.

6. Don't mention the rate at which the Earth rotates on its axis or how fast it is travelling through space. These are not generally considered to be good chat-up lines (unless you're trying to get Albert E. into bed).

7. Leave a tip. If she spoke English, leave a good tip. If she didn't look like her cousin Larry, leave a very good tip. (Trust me on this one!)

8. Go home and plan your next trip into this thing we call the "wide world". Use your globe (and a microscope) for reference purposes. (If you left a very good tip at #7 I suggest repeating the previous journey)

etc etc.

Just get out more ! We'll miss your postings, but we'll be just as happy for you if you find an American woman as we would be if you found someone from abroad.

Speaking as a heteros*e*xual man T_E, what's your problem ? You're a good looking, intelligent guy who maybe just needs to loosen up a bit in female company. Not all women smoke and drink. If you don't fancy the diner, try an art gallery. Maybe you're just a bit shy, you wouldn't be alone there, but you have to be in the line-up to be picked.

Maybe if you stop worrying about it, it'll happen.

Good luck mate.

Tom

May your God go with you.
