[FuzzieAlum]

If someone sees me and Mr. FuzzieAlum (not that he exists) out in public, and they don't know either of us, they can't judge how smart, funny or kind-hearted he is. All they know is his looks. A good-looking guy will increase my cache. Your girlfriend might be a psychohosebeast, but other men will be looking at you with envy.

I think most of us aim too high or settle too low when looking for dates. Eventually you find someone at your level, and then you're happy. They may not be at your level in all areas, but you average out the same. I know a few guys who aim ridiculously low - although admittedly not as many as those who aim too high. And they all wonder why their relationships never last.

But since I'm holding out for George Clooney, who am I to talk?

P.S. Liz, yeah, sorry, he does have the Barbies. But he's not really a Trekkie, I promise. I'm assuming it wouldn't bother you at all that his voice sounds JUST like Butt-head's?
