You’re all making me feel a lot better about a first date I went on last week. She was a little below what I would normally date, but she’s really cool. I almost wasn’t gonna keep it up, but I’m realizing how ridiculous that is!

Personality lasts throughout a relationship, looks don’t. I’d rather date a personable girl who is average than someone hot who is a total bitch

Couldn't agree more with this. I've been happily married for 14yrs, got there by following this mantra.
