Boy, I sounded bitter down there.
I AM!
It frustrates me (besides the obvious jealousy) that some men just do not respond to anything but the wrapping of a person.
I'm lucky in that I found someone who values what goes on inside (uh, most of the time) over the exterior package, but it still irritates me no end when a person (I'll have to admit this goes for women too), acts as though ALL that matters is appearance.
It is so vacuous.
Of course I can be an elitist snob (my brother Dane's endearing nickname for me -- when he's drunk) in requiring intelligence and wit from everyone I come in contact with -- but that's better, right? RIGHT?
