Seen her pic. She's not all that. How strange.

I was at a punk show last night and there was an all female punk band playing. The lead singer was one of the most jaw dropping gorgeous women I've seen in awhile but as the show went on I spent more time watching the drummer. She was giving it her whole soul just rocking out with hair flying everywhere and a big grin on her face. The singer was dancing kind of seductively in a very planned and calculated manner. I was more attracted to the drummer than the singer. Never judge anyone from a picture because it can't show the flicker of emotion over someone's face, or the electric excitement from doing the things that they are passionate about. Those are the things that make a life partner. Those are qualities that outshine almost anything else.

I saw more than her attractiveness (and I don't think she is, which is clearly all you gathered from what I wrote) when I looked at her. I just saw someone with nothing special going for her. Vote me down into oblivion, I just don't see why people still fall for this BS.

If this person did for me what that drummer did for you, then I wouldn't have said what I said. More importantly, if I perceived that this person was generally perceived to be like the drummer you mentioned above, then I would have said something else. What I perceived was something closer to the lead singer you mentioned, but minus the good looks (though I'm sure this woman is attractive to some group): kinda blah.

Yup, because a woman's entire worth and character can be judged by quickly looked at a single "pic"

Of course it can. Not generally the case, but sometimes it's just that simple. Especially if you've been around similar before.

If not that, then you can tell by the fact that she jumped into bed with a married man. And having messed around with another exec, it doesn't take much to see what's going on here.
