We all have our shallow side.
A girl can be beautiful but if she isn't at least smart at some level, I want nothing to do with her. That's my not-shallow side.
A girl can be the smartest and most interesting person in the world, but I do have minimum requirements for attractiveness. I can be pretty flexible the more smart and interesting they are, but there is a certain boundary I won't cross. A girl being too overweight is usually one of them. If a girl weighs about the same as I do (about 160 pounds), then we have a problem. Obviously if she is taller it is less of a big deal if the weight is spread out.
Yes, fat really bothers me. Its probably one of my most superficial qualities. I'll take moderately ugly over fat any day. I do watch my own weight, so at least I am not a hypocrite about it. But I am not calling back a girl I went out with yesterday partially because she is overweight (its more complicated than that, but that is a major reason why I am not attracted to her).
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
