My Dearest semi non-existant fan base,
How sorry I am that I haven't been able to post anything in the past week or so. I'm sure you are all just chomping at the bit to read my latest and greatest post, but as some of you may know, I had myself a little bit of an accident a week ago today. Riding my bike home late from the library one night I had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting some passersby which sent me and mainly my face catapulting into the cold hard concrete. For those of you who like the gory details, I was down two and a half teeth and up about 6 stitches in my upper lip. Not to mention the pint or two of blood I'm sure I left there on the campus sidewalk.
Needless to say my pretty little money maker is no longer as pretty as it once was. My lip was roughly about the size of an adolescent grapefruit and as one classmate stated, all the scabs on my face looked something like old dried up egg yolk... Um, thank you Jeff. As you can imagine it was a difficult week for me. I didn't even want to leave the security of my quiet secluded bedroom even so much as to go take a pee. Thank you to so many of you who showed your love and care by bringing all sorts of blended/liquid foods, milkshakes, smoothies, chicken noodle soup, flowers, and moral support. It helped me feel not so ugly even when I knew that my face was one that which not even a mother could love.
Which brings me to the object of my post today. How important to you are looks in the opposite sex? Now, don't give me the old, "Oh I don't care what they look like, just as long as they love me for me" routine! I know everyone in the world needs somebody whom they are at least semi-attracted to. Does it matter if they're short or tall, chubby or skinny, or blond or brunette? What about eyes, teeth, hands, feet, even clothing??? What is the first thing you notice in an attractive guy or girl?
Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe there are many of you out there who really could care less about what a person looks like. Maybe, you could love them even if it looks like their face is a combination of citrus and poultry breakfast foods. If so, let me know your opinions! Log on and paint us a picture of your lovely dream weaver.
Dateline did a pretty interesting undercover story on looks, take a peek:

Yo Bisby. I know I'm married and thus, shouldn't technically be looking at this blog. But, it's good to see how you're doing and such. Sorry about your face. No wonder you didn't make it to Vegas.
Attraction is definitely important, and from my perspective, can change once personality is known. My hubby gets hotter every day, despite his physical idiosyncracies.

Very good insight Francipoo, I didn't think about that. But it is true. I've noticed in my own love life how I won't be necessarily attracted to a girl at first hand, but after I get to know her my feelings change, despite her appearance.
