There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

Yes I got into things with girls who only liked me because of who I was. But I learnt my lesson quickly.

If I had a lock of hair out of place then I would not feel OK.

A lot of people who are marketing to girls are going to where they are, not to where they ought to be.

It's true our lives can pass small and unnoticed by the masses, and we are no less dignified for having lived quietly. In fact, I've come to believe there's something noble about doing little with your life save offering love to a person who is offering it back.
