Once upon a time I was living in a large Midwestern city #TSRN and I was part of a group of friends, some of whom I'd known for some time and some who were more recent because my core group had just moved to that city, and among the more recent were two guys.

They were attractive enough* but they weren't super fit, they didn't have great hair, no one was asking them to model anything. (And neither of them could really dance for shit, frankly.) *I mean, I thought they looked like schlubs but this story is not really about me.

They weren't talking about women in general - they didn't mean that all women didn't like "normal guys like them", they meant these gorgeous, lush-haired, big-boobed, perfect-assed women they saw at the strip clubs didn't. As far as they were concerned, those were the only women that mattered.

Because, you see, the women in this group were really nice people. They were kind and generous and funny and intelligent, and they were attractive, but they didn't look like the women you see in strip clubs.

Our connection to each other in the group was that organic thing, where you do a thing you like, then you meet someone through that who likes that thing too, and then they also like this other thing you like, and through that you meet other people they know that like the second thing.
