[quote name="Ray of Light "]Prostitutes are tough and survival-oriented too; let's concentrate on homeliness and awesome. I dated a 29-year-old with crooked teeth once. Face and body were totally passable. I think the ten-point scale is bullshit, but she was a 6 (gypsy is not a 6). She was a good cook and would clean my house while I was at work (we didn't live together). She was good with money and could do light construction. I guess you could call her awesome? Trouble was, she was so insecure about her looks that paying any sort of compliment was a goddamn minefield. She'd get angry or sarcastic or confused or tearful -- sometimes all of these! Her self-doubt proved to be the relationship's undoing, when she demanded from me a grand and unmistakable gesture of affection (specifically, a hyper-accelerated timetable for marriage) and I found myself unable to comply. What I learned from her is that unattractive comes with baggage too: vinyl baggage that will split at the seams and leave the things you care about strewn throughout the terminal. [/quote]
