I have told the story on here before of how I met my girl. She works at a bank with my mom. Its a small bank, and they were friends...she heard a lot of stories about me. One day I walked in to get some $$$ and say hi, etc. She liked what she saw, and took a chance of looking me up.
There are two funny parts to that story I leave out though...
First - when I first walked in, she told me she turned to her co-worker and said "d@mn that guy looks great...he must be gay" This was when she had no idea who I was...I actually think its kinda funny, and is more of a statement of how I dress I guess.
Second, and the main part of my story - she has confided in me that the only reason she gave me a chance is because she knew my mom and heard so many stories about me. She mentioned that there was no way she would normally date a guy who looked like me...as we are all jerks Even though she heard I was a good guy, she still had a negative opinion of what I would be like because of how I looked. She has admitted that once she got to know me, that I was nothing like she ever imagined I would be. Even her daughter commented once she got to know me..."he is so much nicer than what he looks like".
Now, I know I'm not the only person in touch with my emotions on this site. I have heard it before "man, you are way nicer than you look". Does anybody else get this? I guess its the old "meat-head" stereotype. I wonder how many people I have missed meeting?
Anyways...just a thought that had my brain occupied today.
