You really think so? I can say with full confidence that I find at least
1/3 of all people attractive in some way physically. It's only when you
add mental beauty into the equation that that arbitrary number falls to
probably 1/100. Still, even the people who might not seem mentally
beautiful at first can surprise you if you probe deep enough. The same is
true of physical beauty.

Of course, I am a young and single man, so take that into consideration... ;-)
