ahhhh...ya know you are getting older when...
It really IS all about the package. We no longer want the arm-candy, the bimbo (guys included), or a SO that follows us around like we are gods. We all want the package.
They may not be "smoking hot" by society standards, but they are to you...and that is really all that matters. If she (or he) doesn't look out-of-this-world in a pair of jeans, it doesn't really matter b/c he/she makes you laugh, is intelligent, and a good person.
You can make a pro and con list until the cows come home, but at the end of the day...if that potential mate is YOUR package, its all good. It is an indicator that you have matured and realized what is important
sorry, to hijack the OP thread...just felt like putting this out there
