There is a reason that I find professors attractive--it's their Daddy potential. Professors, in my mind, would make great Daddy's. To wit: They are almost always hugely kind. You can make a mistake, but they will apologize for the misunderstanding. They do NOT fly off the handle. You may very well write a horrid, hateful, provocative email and they will respond with, "I am sure I misunderstood you," OR, "I so apologize for my mistake in saying...", and you know it's your own damn fault and know that they are apologizing for your stupidity but in an oblique, polite way. Which makes you love and respect and admire them. And want to procreate with them. Stuff this good should not be wasted!

I've been involved with profs who hate women and profs who love them and I have come to this conclusion: Find love where you can. Even if it's unrequited. Even if it's Academic.
