I'm loving how ashamed or apologetic people seem to be about the fact that they want to meet somebody who is (to them) physically attractive.
Get over it people!
It's evolutionary to want people who are as attractive as you are. Your brains are wired to respond in certain ways to certain stimuli, and no matter how much you like to tell yourself that you're just looking for somebody to discuss Proust with, part of your brain is looking at the body attached to that brain and assessing whether it's reproductively viable.
Anyway, I find the following to be indicative of this "Sorry I want somebody easy on the eyes" syndrome. Namely, the laundry list of qualities you're looking for in another person. Inevitably, it's high-brow until the last entry, or maybe the penultimate one. It goes like this.
She says, "I'm looking for somebody who can make me laugh, somebody who'll watch art films with me, somebody to cook home-made gnochi with, somebody nice and "all there", and somebody taller than I am."
He says, "I'm looking for somebody who "gets it", who's seen through the nonsense of the meat-packing district, who still cries at a good film, who's got to-die-for green eyes, and who shows real passion and interest for life-as-art and living life to the fullest."
Sneaky, sneaky. Sorry to blow your cover, people, but them's the breaks...
