I hope its ok to add a story to this because I'm gonna:
On my Birthday weekend a had a gathering (and yes we were drinking). One of my friends brought a friend, who was damn smoking hottie. At one point in the night a girl said to him that was a hot piece of meat. He looked like he was about to cry, come to find out that is all girls saw when being around him, he had never had a long lasting relationship with a girl. They just saw him a hot man to do and be done with it.
So, I guess the lession is beauty is both a gift and a curse.
