The power of beauty

Beauty has an overwhelming power on us. For example, someone who may look like the average Joe walks into a bakery and requires assistance. The service this person receives is not as great as someone with great physical beauty. I myself have fallen for this. For instance, usually I help everyone with a smile and courteous greeting. However, this very good looking gentleman walked in. Usually I answer the questions from my desk, not bothering to get up. But this good looking guy actually got me up from my desk and I must have stood there answering every single one of his questions. Not only that, I personally took his request for advisement, rather than telling him to put it in the mail box. Now here is the sad part. Twenty minutes later, gentleman walked in who I wasn't even remotely interested in. I helped him, but I wasn't as eager. I didn't even bother to answer that poor guys questions and I was going to leave him for the advisor to deal with. I didn't even realize I had done this until the advisor and I had a brief discussion about"the power of beauty." My conclusion? I'm a jerk.

Yes, you are!!! just kidding....

This is why Tom Leykis says (if you're a guy) that if you want to have a loyal girlfriend that will absolutely treat you right and worship the ground you walk on, you find a fat girlfriend They're so happy that you are with them that they basically work their asses off in devotion to you. Sometimes I'm tempted to try that just to see if the girl will actually treat me right.

Tom Leykis can be an asshole. I know a girl who only dates "ugly" men because she doesn't want to get hurt. So she is the one who ends up in the driver's seat. Sick huh? Yes. The same goes for that damn Leykis comment. Watch... you'll fall in love with some skinny girl who has a body like a little boy... a flat chested, no butt, triangle shapped girl. haha I better watch what I say, cause that might come back to haunt me.

Shame on you Jenn. Don't you feel bad? I think you should make up for it by going out with me (Average Joe who plays a mean guitar), and of course we should have wild, hot...

I should feel bad, but I can't help it. I like eye candy, and I'm sure everyone else enjoys it as much as I do. You're a string player too? This could be the start of a beautiful friendship. ;)
