You know what I noticed? I am on the second level of the attractiveness scale.
It’s like I’m in limbo, not quite hot enough to be the hot girls’ first choice, but hot enough to be their rebound when they get dumped by their first choice. Now every time a hot girl is interested in me, I have to figure out what her problem is.
For instance, there was once a gorgeous girl with long smooth hair, sharp features and a fit and slender body that was shapely in the right areas. We hit it off pretty quick. In fact, she was the one who started talking to me, asked for my number and even paid for our first dinner! Unfortunately, it soon became apparent how such a perfect creature could even be single in the first place. When she got mad about something, oh boy were you in for a ride. Her outbursts were fiery and completely disproportional. It was hard to fathom how one person could be two people so diametrically opposed to each other. And so with a heavy heart, I had to move on. I could not imagine myself being long-term with a girl of such temperament, handsome though she may have been, and I can imagine the guys before me reasoned as much.
And then there was another girl. Beautiful by any conventional standards, cute and fit with glowing hair and zero entitlement. How rare is it to find a drop dead gorgeous cutie who doesn’t demand anything? In fact, she was more willing to give me stuff – gifts, food, time etc. – than she was to take from me. We did lots of things together, she was respectful and helpful and we shared our thoughts and desires and everything. Oh, the way people stared at us in the streets. But alas, I discovered that I was the rebound after her breakup of a long-term relationship. She was biding her time and eventually got back with the dude. Oh well.
With other girls though, I’ve had somewhat of a different experience. But maybe that’s a story for another time…
