is it possible you're overestimating his relative physical attractiveness because you look up to him?
*Hmmmm...me, wrong? Yes, in fact that is quite possible. Considering the fact that I tend to develope crushes on authority figures (ie. bosses, doctors, ect) on a fairly regular basis. And my crushes aren't based on looks or physical attributes, they're based soley on presonality, charm, and life experience. I suppose this is why I tend to fall for older men. I think the reason I was put off by her picture is because I expected to see him with a younger woman. Maybe it is my own bias. Perhaps I am prejudice. Maybe I'm just not a nice person. I never claimed to be, now did I. Anyway, I didn't mean to cause such an uproar.
And I didn't mean to suggest that I walk around all day, everyday judging people based on the way they look. By no means do I do that. I'm bitter that my therapist is married. I'm a little bit bitter that he isn't married to who *I think* is the best looking woman in the world. I guess it is presumptuous of me to think I could choose a more fitting mate for him. But, at the time I just didn't think things added up.So, go ahead. Let me have it :)
