betterdeal Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 She filtered a lot of idiots out for you. By some bizarre twist I was best friends with a very pretty girl for a long time (and yes, we did have crushes on each other from time to time) and she couldn't stand the sleaze approaches but also craved men turning their heads in the street. I agree, just because there's a very pretty girl in the room, doesn't make the others ugly. Beyond a certain threshold (maybe being fat is a turn off for me, active and virulent skin diseases, sloppy drunks) there's a huge pool of talent out there, and it's far more satisfying getting to know someone, their sense of humour, their moods, rhythms, nuances over a bit of time and becoming comfortable with each other than vying for the attention of someone. That's just too cluttered and tiring for my liking. See if there's any art exhibitions or things like that nearby. The pressure of dating sites combined with the easy access to every muppet and clown in town makes them pretty low value IMO. Plus it's like hiring a DVD by post - by the time it arrives you're not in the mood most of the time.
Author SilverLining Posted October 5, 2011 Author Posted October 5, 2011 I wasn't too bothered about my friend being prettier. There were some that thought I was the more attractive one anyway. She was taller and more exotic looking (half black, half white). I'm short and curvy. It really depends on your taste. I am quite nice looking enough to hold my own. But it did get irritating that the guys would act so...hmm...I think the word I want is predictable.
