Summary: reacting to features, or something new to talk about


	When you are unattached, and looking for someone to meet,
do you tend to

	1) avoid people who wear glasses in preference to
		people who don't?
	2) avoid people who don't dress very well, preferring
		people who do?
	3) avoid people with braces?
	4) avoid people in dull technical professions?

	What I am getting at is that I have observed all four to be
true.  I have delibrately postponed dental work for three years because
the end result would be braces that I would have to wear for two or
three years.  (My parents could not afford to get them for me as a
child).  I have been afraid that wearing them would destroy what little
social life I have.  But the dental situation has gotten to the point
where I can postpone the braces no longer.  And I am still single and
searching.  Short of becoming a priest or learning to talk with my
lips closed, how can I overcome the disadvantage?
