I of course was already married; both of them (one guy and one girl, but not at all interested in each other) were still single. It went roughly like this:<br />The Guy: "I don't think I want to marry a hot girl. I'd rather marry a cute girl."<br />The Girl: "Really? What's wrong with hot? I mean, I think of myself as hot."<br />The Guy: "Well, cute girls turn into cute women, and cute women turn into cute grandmas and cute old ladies. But hot girls are so high maintenance and worried about their looks and makeup and everything that when they get older they look like old leather bags that have been in the closet for twenty years and come out all dry and cracked and ugly."Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517175871913292473noreply@blogger.com
