Last night, my hot 25 year old triathlete niece brought her new boyfriend to a family gathering. The consensus was that he was short and round. He had the gelled hair with the bit in front turned up, he was wearing a baggy squared off shirt, and pants that cut off mid-thigh - the rapper look.
Now I just don't get it. This is the second hot niece to bring home a butter-ball. And I've noticed the couples on TV. Always the woman is hot and quite often the guy is fat. What gives? Am I stuck in a mid-'80's ideal of what a man should look like - a Tom Selleck or Richard Gere type? Has my obsession with cycling and fitness blinded me to thinking that only the svelt have a right to reproduce? Or do women really care more about a guy's personality than looks?
