Beauty Is in The Eye Etc.

I was having a conversation with a family member one snowy afternoon when we got talking about how anyone, regardless of who they were could find a mate especially a woman if her standards weren't too high. In other words if she didn't mind that he had a face that would stop a clock or a belly that went with him for walks or other lowering body traits she could be sure of a companion on the road of life. The same can be said for a very ugly woman. There is someone out there for everyone as long as one is not too picky or have a too finely developed sense of smell. To illustrate this fascinating subject the family member told a very heartwarming tale of a young pair she worked with one summer. She met the husband first while he was on a break and thought to herself wow!! Physically he had no redeeming features what so ever but a very nice personality. Later in the week the wife showed up. Who knew? She was even uglier than he was [ you're getting pictures here right? ]. The mind boggled. However she was a lovely person and they adored each other and didn't care who knew it. There was some idle speculation on how their offspring may turn out should they have any but people were happy to be around them because they were so happy with themselves and each other. Being a superficial person myself and much attracted to good looks in others [ one of my many flaws ] I found this an incredible story because I thought of these people as people of high character who looked past the obvious and saw through to the loving heart of the matter. Would that I were so evolved but to be kind to myself I am a work in progress. So is the family member but we love each other anyway, moral warts and all.
