Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
I had all these romantic notions about one-night stands. Who knew it would be so difficult to actually have one?
  • What if she were ugly?

    Nobody has mentioned/seemed to notice this angle: the author's photo accompanies the article - and she appears to be at least reasonably physically attractive.

    Hence, the selling point of her book would be that a pretty girl has a hard time going about a one-night stand...

    But what if her photo wasn't included? OR, what if her photo did appear - and she was quite lacking in the beauty department?

    How would it influence you - or other potential readers out there? Would her tales have any worth if the answer she sought turned out to be a white elephant in the room? (I.e. - You fail at picking up men for one-nighters because you are not pretty.)

    IMO, it would've be a more interesting excerpt WITHOUT her photo being present...
