Your reading comprehension and/or fact-checking needs improvement. It was Not Bob who started the looks assessments.

it was less than 20 posts ago and you've already forgotten that the 25 words in her post made no mention of either of those things?

Besides, you're all just jealous. Theirs was a passion that simmered for 18 years, while they dated other people and pursued other things in different parts of the country.

(I thought the typical platonic college friends "if we don't meet anybody else" deal was triggered at 40.)
I thought I was jealous because they went to Harvard.

TM is going to complain, but
1. No, I did not.
2. And my comment was facetious. Their submitting their wedding announcement to his publicist so it could be the lead in the Vows section subject them to being rated. So my feigned guilt about subjecting them to being rated was a bit of a joke.
3. Here's another hint: I don't actually think anyone is jealous of their "passion."

I thought cats were treats for years, until the Judge set me straight on that.

The thought of her lying under him, sliding in the profuse sweat of their fiery passion and his over-burdened heart, doesn't make you jealous?

Uh, that was me who said that. And, yes, they both do (especially him) look a wee bit older than 36.

I hope she caresses his chest and murmurs, "they're real, and they're spectacular."

Sorry, victim of scroll too fast and post.

There is a creepy couple on my train. Both are greying and overweight and the guy has a longish 70's 80's 'do and he wears a lone-ranger style mask to sleep on the train for his beauty zzzs. The woman is about the same height, also overweight with rosacea [bright pink angry looking skin] 80's glasses and long straight grey hair that she braids into princess lea buns. by all rights, she really shouldn't have a man at all, so every pot has its cover.

Today they found a little friend. I could only stand the convo for so long before I moved. The fwend stated he had 2 kids and asked what are area is like for kids. And beauty mask guy states "well, the kids won't come home with bullet holes in their book bags" what a fucked up thing to say.

They prob have someone chained in their basement. eww

4 Brothers Pizza. Good stuff. Or it was when my brother was at school in the area.

Anyhow, besides the other disqualifiers (gains weight in face), he's evidently been passed over by several educated, attractive-but-still-single Jewish women pushing 40, even though he's probably got some money. This shiksa ignored the biggest red flag evah.
