A Homely Flower
A homely flower?
Bees don't differentiate,
When they pollenate.
Why do women have to fuss
To make sure their hair's not mussed!

Interesting Point You Pose
Joyce,
Believe me when I tell you this, men are actually not that choosey if they believe no one is looking. The pompous ones want arm candy, the genuine ones want warmth and tenderness and the rest just want to get laid. Sorry if I have busted any myths for you. Just remember what Mickey Gilley sang "They all get prettier at closin time".
Your buddy,
Pete
"I've got my beer goggles on!" (Neil McCoy) lol...
Yes, alcohol has that effect on us all, Pete. But do you ever see an old rich geezer hooking up with an ugly young chick? I haven't seen it on the news recently, anyways.
Thanks for your funny comment, Pete. I need that in the morning - like others need their coffee.

or, there is beauty in
or, there is beauty in everything, beer goggles? ok then
what a nice way of looking at it, robert!!
Neil McCoy is a country singer, and I saw him live last summer. This is an hilarious song he sings. It shows what happens to a guy in a bar surrounded by homely women - all of a sudden they are raving beauties, and he's having the time of his life! I love that song.
Thanks for your excellent comment!

Linda
everybody is so different, linda...
I find everybody's personality really comes out in their style, don't you? It's really fascinating to see so many different types of people all doing the same thing in such different fashions. What a trip!
Thanks for the nice comment, linda. I have been so busy and frazzled lately, I haven't had as much time as I'd like to have on this site. I apologize for that - will try to do better but I don't know if it will happen or not!
joyce
me too Joyce
Summer is a busy time. its so sunny and nice who wants to stay inside??
and yes we all have different styles of writing...like different personalities...makes the world go round.
I love this site.

Yes, and I suppose we'll never get the answer either. Shucks!

Guilty as charged!
I'm laughing at myself 'cause I'm guilty as charged. Good one, Joyce!
Sharon
me too, Sharon...
the beauty industry has a lot invested in this female quality - I think they may be a part of the problem! Thanks for the funny comment!
