> You know the old saying, it’s as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one? You assume, that because I have a particular physical type that attracts me (Newsflash! Nearly everyone does!) doesn’t mean that the guy I choose out of that subset won’t also be intelligent, funny, generous, chivalrous and other really good adjectives.
