LET'S PRETEND GODS ARE REAL

[Midwest Spy]

I don't really think of any humans as Gods or Goddesses on this earth.

But, what comes closest to me for both men and women, is pretty much the same as that wise-ass Donovan's description.

As for goddesses: I've seen pretty women, not so pretty women, and gorgeous women. But once in a very great while you meet a person who literally sucks the atmosphere from a room with their presence. Not even something you can define. But something that makes everything else stop in order to pay attention. If there are goddesses and God's walking among us, It's those people.

Beauty fades. Personality counts. Mental stimulation matters.

It's not primarily a physical thing that takes my breath away and I'm not trying to score points with any men in here, it's just how I feel (and increasingly so the older and wiser I become).

My mom is a classic example of what you and Dono are talking about.

Early on, fell for my dad. Good looking and smart.

Then, married to my step dad. Good looking and smart.

Since then has been with intellectuals that are not good looking.

Her current husband is a professor at the U of M (computer science). He’s fricking brilliant, however is rough around the edges socially and not handsome at all.

But, she seems happy.
