I usually avoid the obviously attractive or very powerful (so-called important men) who can get women easily. I guess I thought it was a matter of less competition?! Although not drop dead gorgeous, I was considered reasonably attractive but I suffered from low self esteem. The games of the mating and pairing process are very complex, aren’t they? It’s as much fun to analyze as it is to play those games!
