Busted! And I was hoping for some pretty graphic descriptions, maybe with accompanying photos.Quote:

Interesting question, i'll think about that.Quote:

My good intentions :lol:
I didn't think it was funny, I thought it was a really vulnerable admission and it made me a little sad for Biblio, although the bright spot is that we know at least one person saw through the troll-like exterior and made him a happy man. ;)Quote:

They are someone that can see beyond the superficial and they place a value on what I have to offer.Quote:

When I was little and heard any woman complaining of her ugliness (by the standard of physical beauty in our area), I would always think she was lucky. At least someone wouldn't marry her by her looks then! :pQuote:

:bawling: bib..i am ever so sorry for misreading your comment...i would have never hurt you intentionally...is there one who has never misread or made a mistake in seeing something that was not there...happy, sad, black or white...it has been said...beauty is in the eye of the beholder...are we all powerless to words that have been spoken...

It is VERY easy to misread the intention and/or tone of these posts... you're right it happens to all of us. In fact, I've said the same thing that I posted to people in the past and they mistook it for a joke even though they could hear my tone of voice and see the look on my face at the time.
Ah, finally someone who won't be envious of me! :pQuote:

Speaking personally, I cannot claim to have got 'there' yet.
That I can actually be serious at times, that I am actually pretty timid on the inside...
Its hard when peoples definition of beauty is exactly what you are not...and once you try to act exactly like what you are not then I think you end up loosing yourself and not being true to everyone else around you. Its better to be proud of yourself and like yourself than to try and cover it all up with todays definition of beauty.
Wonderful note. I've always said that the test of a good relationship is whether you like yoursel better when you're with that other person. But it might equally be that you're not self-conscious, not preoccupied with how you're coming across.Quote:

I may be a little self-conscious but no one can really tell...only because my stronger side squashes the thought. I hope that makes sense.:)Quote:
