Handsome Smiley,
I understand everything you said, but I have to tell you, you don't have to defend yourself to Deafilmedia. What you said about your wife was wonderful, but the personal stuff, like her inner beauty, should be your secret between you and her and the other qualities that you see that are not physical. I know that each gal I had as a girlfriend, I always looked beyond her beauty and never listed it or told anyone what attracted me to her. As of now, I'm still single, looking for Miss Right. It doesn't matter to me if she rides a Harley, married more than once, has kids/grandkids or walks on her hands; I look way beyond the physical and when I find her, I will sweep her off her feet, pick her up and carry her through the door (figuratively speaking) if I can handle it. She'll be treated like a queen, so when the women are done bashing, they just proved to themselves they don't want that kind of treatment, so I'd suggest they go back to the guy that has beaten them silly, since that's what they want. I'm not into beating, but I am into a woman who can think for herself, not follow me around like a puppy dog and who can stand and deliver.
Oh, by the way, my challenge still hasn't been taken up yet by any of the women: I can cook (way more than macaroni and cheese -- I'm vegetarian), do laundry (separate colors, etc.,), iron, clean and make one hell of a good time behind closed doors (use your imagination, dear). Yet, no one wants to take me up on it -- women only -- and I think they're a bunch of chickens! Especially Deafilmedia!!!!!
