To all the ugly girls out there...

There’s still HOPE! Why? Because a great personality counts! Yeah!

It was a dreary Friday afternoon. I was doing some research for an article that I was writing until I heard the phone ring. I peered from the side of my computer, and saw that it was one of my colleague’s phone ringing.

So I intercepted the call, and the conversation went like this;

ME:“Hello, This is the *** **** Berhad. How can I help you?”
A male voice, medium range in pitch said, “Hi, may I please speak to X?
ME: “He’s not in at the moment. Would you like to leave a message?”
Man: “No, it’s ok. Is this Sarah? It’s me, XX, we were introduced briefly the other day”
ME: “Oh hi, XX, how are you doing?”
Man: “Doing great. It’s the weekend…” and yada yada yada
Five minutes into our casual conversation,
Man says, “So can I have your hand phone number so that I don’t have to call the office?”
ME: “WHHATT? I’m SOrrrry. Can you REPEAT that AGAIN? I’m kinda HARD of hearing”
Man: “Damn, you’re not letting me get off easy with this, are you?”
ME: “Hahaha…No, I’m NOT letting you get anywhere. And by the way, did I mention that I was MARRIED?”
This was an absolute “Scrubs ” moment. I could almost see him reach for a cangkul and dig a hole under his desk to bury what’s left of his pride.
Man: “OhhhhhHhhhhh…Well, at least I asked,” and laugh’s nervously
ME: “I guess so.” Short silence “Need a Band-Aid?”
He was grateful that I was able to lighten the situation with a witty banter.

So to all of you – plain janes, flat chested, pimple infested, gappy toothed, heavy set women out there…Personality plays a big part in attraction. If you don’t have the money to change the way you look, then start building a strong character. Develop that, and you’ll get a man interested in you because of YOU - Priceless

But if you think you’re not one to turn heads, I would suggest that you use the phone as your first impression tool to start off ;)
