    I had a conversation with my girlfriend about your bulbous head theory last
    night, spike. I didn't want to bias her opinions so I did not explain your
    theory until after I probed her for information. The dialogue went something
    like this:

    "Hey sweetheart, I've been wondering about something. What exactly do you
    like about me?"

    "Well," she said, "first of all you're very loving and nurturing toward my
    kids."

    (She has two young children. Her answer fits nicely with your general theory
    about females having the buyer's market for mates, but it doesn't go to the
    question of my head size. So I kept probing.)

    "I don't mean that," I said. "I mean, like, what do you think of size of my
    party parts?"

    "Don't worry honey, your body part is just fine."

    "No, no, no, that's not what I meant either."

    I then held my chin up high and rotated my head like a peacock displaying
    his feathers. I was hoping she might say "Oh yeah, that reminds me. I really
    like your large head!" but no such comment was forthcoming. I think she
    thought I had a crick in my neck.

    Finally I said, "Don't you like the size of head? I wear size large in hats
    and sunglasses. I can barely even find off-the-shelf hats and sunglasses
    that fit me well."

    She said, "I've never noticed that about you. Your head looks
    well-proportioned to your body. If I thought your head was too big then I
    probably wouldn't find you attractive."

    I explained that my head was only slightly large, not large enough to
    notice, and that her attraction to my large head was a subliminal thing. I
    tried to convince her that she loves me because I have a larger than average
    head.

    She laughed and said "That's not true, baby. I love you for your pimp
    juice."

    I haven't a clue what pimp juice might be. I think it's a term she picked up
    from the Hip Hop music she listens to on her car radio. I didn't want to
    seem un-hip (I listen mainly to classic rock) so I just smiled approvingly
    while secretly hoping that pimp juice is a good thing for men to have.

    Anyone know the definition of pimp juice? We might need to create a pimp
    juice theory of mate selection.
