It's madness I tell you!

Talking to FacilitiesMan today at work, the conversation eventually moved to the Internet dating scene. And among other things we talked about how some peoples expectations of potential suitors may be a tad on the high side.

Now, I know why I have got to my current age without getting married - That is obviously because there is something fundamentally wrong with me. The sad point about "some" people on Internet dating sites is that they do not, in any shape or form, realise they also suffer the same malaise.

Some people think they are living in a TV series like Beverley Hills 90210, or perhaps the latest variant on that theme - say The OC. You would have to be living under a rock not to notice that non-reality based television, is full of extremely beautiful people who all think they are ugly. In this alternative reality they all have good jobs, or rich parents with trust funds. And their life is.... so... hard

In short, for most of us, this "dream" is simply not a reality.

And sooner or later people should have to face up to that fact.

Some of us are short, some tall - most are average.
Thats why it's called average.
We aren't all beautiful in a TV reality sense ;
We have good days and bad days.
We don't always look like we've walked out of a salon
(except maybe Tyler).
We sometimes say the wrong things at the wrong time,
we forget birthdays (Sorry Shars).
We can let people down.
We are REAL, and we have real flaws.

We however, also have a great capacity to do great deeds. Curiously this has nothing to do with our height, looks or income. And for that I am eternally grateful.
