tits, ass and a substantial measure of gray matter

these, im told, in the right proportions mind you, is what make a girl desirable. In the ideal, the first two shouldn’t matter. After all, one sags and the other gets bigger over time. The third should be a non-negotiable. But, unfortunately, it most often isn’t. Men, I’ve observed, have a knack for projecting themselves to be a little less superficial than they actually are.

Don’t get me wrong, Im not singling out men. Women are the same way, except we come out more believable because we do it while batting our eyelashes.

People are intrinsically superficial. That is basically my thesis for today. And please don’t take this to be derogatory in any way, manner or form. It just means that were making good use of the senses God has given us, five if I remember correctly.

It would unquestionably result in a better, happier world if people readily come with a manual and a compatibility test kit so we don’t waste precious time figuring them out and trying to mesh together. As it is though, all we pick-up from the get-go is what we see. And unfortunately, our desire to get to know someone on a deeper, more intellectual level is dictated by the physical.

Which isn’t to say that only the beautiful get a chance at true love. Beauty, its been said, lies on the beholder. And trite as it may sound, nothing could be more true.

You see, beauty is not a monopoly. It is not exclusive to the blonde, or the blue-eyed or the sexy. Everybody has it, however deeply buried it is under their flaws. The problem is not the lack of it, the problem is finding someone who sees it.

MY ANTI-THESIS

no matter how intrinsically superficial people are, they are also capable of being unfathomably deep. Capable of the purest and the most absolute of loves, if it comes, if it is recognized.
