I'm afraid that if anyone is worrying how to ensure their dates are always beautiful, then they are way too ugly deep down for anyone nice to bother with.

This crowd ... I think "nice" is the last thing they're looking for.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

Re: Thank You ceebs! (4.00 / 3)

Well, a lot of dating is about shared values (whether they're beautiful values or not), and I guess you know you're getting someone who shares your values...??

I wouldn't want to be in that household as they age, though...

Default behaviour would be to trade in for a newer model every few years - a lot like buying a car, but with higher running costs.

I'd like to get 50 of these folks into one room, open bar, and film it. I bet it would be hilarious.
