Any comment on this? (The evil of television?)

Oh? To my mind, "availiable" means accessable, as in when somebody says "I'm avaliable for a meeting" or something, they're expressing an ability or even a desire to have a meeting.

In the language of primatology and anthropology, Rhhain's use of 'available' is pretty common.Interesting, Crash, if I said that a mandrill's colorful swollen butt-cheeks indicate that she is available for sex would there be a problem? Ah... but poeple are special. ------------------

I don't see that physical avaliablilty has anything to do with behaviors that suggest a willingness for copulation with a particular male, which is what comes to my mind when the words "avaliable for sex" are used.

Physical and behavioral are pretty damned close in the animal kindom, of which we are a part. You are right though, physical ability does not signal readiness to mate with a particular male. I'm not sure why you have this association. Walruses chest thumb because the available females will be willing to mate with the winner. Birds sing to attract available mates. You may yourself even be tempted to ask of the friend of a pretty girl, "Is she available?"------------------

Because when women come to me and say "Hey, I'm avaliable for sex", they usually mean they want to have sex with me.

Oh come on now... How many times has this happened, really? ------------------
