In all fairness, the dog was mostly full.

I am very short/thin for a man, which most women find unattractive. It doesn’t help when above average height guys marry short women, further shrinking the dating pool.

My wife is very short for a woman, so I guess we fit.

But we can all entertain the possibility that my personality is just that good.

Not me, but my wife.

In the month we got engaged about a four or five guys came up to her and told her outright that they always wanted to date her but never had the nerve to ask her. But, I guess with the ring on her finger they didn’t have to worry about rejection any longer, so they felt OK approaching her.

It was very odd.
