I have never watched that show, but would like to comment on your Post Ann...Too many people today are so idealistic in what they think the "perfect" date, or mate should be. Of course, a persons looks are the first thing we see, but I have known some really handsome men that were as shallow as my bathtub water! I have also met some men that were not handsome, but after getting to know them, they became VERY handsome to me because of who they were. These are people that I have met and known through the years and are friends... As for my husband..I didn't want any part of that guy when I first met him..he was good looking, but wasn't my "style" of a guy.. he was a HIPPIE, lol, and I was a teenager in the hippie era from the 70's and I felt like I was way past that. Needless to say, he persued me for a year, and didn't have any luck until that year was up, and by golly, I saw him for who he WAS.. not for the stereotype. It is now 22 years later, and we have not been without our share of problems, but I think that if I would have picked what society thought was acceptable,or went for just his looks and how much money he made, and what he had to offer ME, it probably wouldn't have lasted..I went for the inner person instead.

I'm glad you gave your husband that second chance, Lisa! I once read that you should date a guy at least 3 times before making a decision, unless he is "rude, crude, or smell bad," in which case 1 date is enough! LOL
Cindy, your husband was really persistent! You certainly knew he was genuinely intersted. :)
