    To 646

    To 646, the poster who said that he doesn't want to date fat girls with great personalities, he wants a hot girl, I have this to say:

    The fat girl with the great personality that you really like might hit the health club and go on a diet because she finally has a reason to look good and be in great shape for great sex.

    The "hottie" might get fat and gorge herself because now that you are dating her she thinks you like her, and she will let herself go.

    Also, you might be surprised at how many men have remarried or started dating women who were not at physically perfect as some hottie-type they originally went after because she was so "hot", but who proved to be impossible to tolerate.

    Then there are the lucky guys who find the beautiful woman who is beautiful inside.

    Love has a way of enobling people. Maybe more people should search for love and marriage and be less transfixed by a shallow value system involving hook-ups.
