Sorry to hear about your week from hell, **Honeydew** , and I hope things cheer up for you a bit in the near future… Sounds like you’re dealing with it in a healthy way, which is good. Be strong, take care, feel better! Also wanted to say a big welcome to **Rhino** who is not the former honey of **The Doper formerly known as Rhino’sHoney**. Whoever’s honey you are or aren’t, we’re pleased to meetcha! Have a cookie. They’re imaginary, but still pretty good. Love, Kn\*ckers ---

Sorry to hear that, **Honeydew**. But your new username indicates that you are now your own person, rather than gaining your identity from someone else. Also glad you renamed yourself after a melon, what with all the tit-boring going on. ---

Anyone at all? _chirp_ Anyone **besides** the cricket? Didn’t think so. You ladies _really_ need to get over this “I’m no supermodel, so I can’t be hot” attitude. I’ve been singing this tune since I got here, and I’m sure some of you are sick of it, but, come on…let’s all sing it together. You know the words. True beauty is in the heart, the mind, and the attitude. And, so is “hotness”. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jjimm \* > \*\*Also glad you renamed yourself after a melon, what with all the tit-boring going on. \*\* Good point.

I’ll chime in as being a lurker also that’s seen your name around the past few months. Don’t really know you that well, or the situation, but you have my sympathies as well. I’ll also support Dave in his assertion that a lot of the women on the board really need to realize that they are attractive, even if they’re not Playboy material, that doesn’t automatically = not hot!. It’s been a long time since I’ve met any dopers face to face, and I don’t have the most sterling reputation with those that I did know, but I have always thought that everyone I’ve seen on here (and although the people’s pages don’t work anymore, for a long while, we all really could see each other) were very attractive. Beyond the mere physical aspects (difficult to ignore with all the boob talk in here), the open-mindedness, candor, and intelligence of the posters here make you irresistible. And while I’m not bi or gay, I’ll even extend that compliment to the guys like Davebear. I’ve been particularly impressed at your attitude, and support of dopers. So Honeydew, cheer up. If absolutely nothing else, it give us male dopers a glimmering of hope that we can bask in the light of your undivided attention. I hope you’re doing ok, and look forward to seeing you around for a long time to come ---

**Honeydew** - if you want cheering up, why not meet some of us for a [pizza in Drumcondra](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3380958#post3380740) (Northside :eek: but not that bad). Date to be decided. ---

Heya **Honeydew** … Good on ya for doing what you think is best for you, despite the fact that it sucks right now - that’s a brave move. As others have said, and as I’m sure you know, it’ll get less and less painful with the passage of time. And despite what you thought was a boring OP, my tits are intact! 🙂 ---
