I think everyone has a type they are attracted to; whether it's men in uniform, firemen, lawyers, geeks, or particle physicists (lab coats are hot).</p> Tue, 30 Oct 2007 11:56:00 -0700 urn:uuid:d9401048-0d3d-4561-b830-9d8dca192f73 Matt http://www.justsayhi.com/blog/articles/2007/10/30/damn-you-barista-why-must-you-be-so-cute Being Social
