My wife claims she was attracted to me when I told the class we were in that I wrote science fiction. She also liked the fact I was married, because it meant she wouldn’t have to deal with a relationship (she was shy).

During the class, my first wife left me, so we started seeing each other. We’ve been together 33 years now.

When this question is asked I am reminded of “Married With Children” when Kelly tells Bud the girl he’s seeing is using him, why? Because as Kelly tells him a woman knows within five minutes of meeting a guy if she’ll ever have sex with him

At that height, a lack of oxygen to the brain can do that to shorter folks.
