But he's so innocent and cute! And his stupidity... I don't mind.

	Competition:  Akane, the pig-loving girl, Ranma.  While Ryoga is so
devoted to Akane's happiness that he would rip the still-beating heart
from his chest for her if she needed a transplant, she just thinks of
him as a good friend.  The pig-loving girl will be harder to beat,
since she likes his most annoying (to him) feature.  Ranma just does
that "instant fiancee" thing to annoy Ryoga; punt him and he'll go
away.

Nah, Ryouga'd just forget all about Akane and Akari if a girl comes along
and says she loves him, and drags him off to where Akane, Akari and Ranma
won't turn up!

	Sex:  Grateful, though shy.  He hasn't quite learned how to control
his strength in relation to his emotions, so be careful in those
clinches.

Mmm... strong and stupid and cute. How yummy. ^_~

	Ano... are these not some of the same traits you _napalm_ Shampoo
about on a regular basis over on r.a.a.* ?  Note also that 'Poo is
considerably _smarter_ than Hibiki. 
	In case you are wondering, my tastes lean towards cunning, 
intelligent, powerful, and just a tade ruthless (read: Kodachi, Shampoo, 
and Nabiki-megamisama)

	Overall:  What's not to love?  He's handsome like a pig, loyal like a
pig, strong like a pig....

Hai! He's wonderful! Ryouga-kamisama!

	You can have the porker (if you can find him ;).
