So I try, oh yes I try so very very hard, to take the “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” approach to internet dating. But sometimes even I falter & find myself doing the very thing that I shouldn’t, judging said book, or should that be person, by their cover.
And those faltering sometimes, as much as I try to will them to subside, are usually brought on by a totally lovely person, a totally lovely person that I just cannot for the life of me accept that they are a lovely person, because basically i’m just too goddamn blindsided by the fact that they are so demonstrably pigeon-toed that they walk, or should that be waddle, like a duck.

I used to judge a “book by it’s cover” but realized it never got me anywhere. My mom still does, but she’s learning not to considering my boyfriend looks like a thugged-out “gangster”. I guess the best thing is to get to know them well enough that the other stuff doesn’t matter.

The old addage: If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck it probably is a duck.
Good duck, I mean luck.
