People Aren't Romantic

I was thinking about how girls aren't very romantic. At least all the girls I've ever met, and especially the girls on the personals sites want everything and are very superficial when it comes down to it. Even the quirky art girls are picky, hell even the fugly ones are stuck up these days. You'd think all they'd care about is whether or not you can tell them a joke that will make them laugh, or how you know all the cool concerts to go to, or your intense knowledge of Tarkovsky's films, but it's not like that. They still care about your job and your money, and they care the most about your looks, although their idea of what is aesthetically pleasing is slightly different from your average yuppie bar whore.

It is only after they have decided that you are 'boyfriend material' that they will attempt to get to know you on a deeper level. Then I thought - it's not just women, it's everyone. Who am I to judge, it's not like looks aren't a very big deal to me either.
