. . . that you aren't all that, either; that the very fact that you so rarely encounter people to whom you're attracted means that the probability that people are attracted to you is extremely low . . .
I've long been aware of my ugly tendency to form some sort of evaluation of nearly everyone - both men and women - in terms of attractiveness, even though I've no interest in being unfaithful to my bride even with someone extremely beautiful, both physically and as a person. But I have never really made the leap between realizing that I find so few people alluring and the conclusion that the probability that people find me so is very, very small. And I hope, for others' sake, that it's even smaller than I think. That is, in the first place, I hope that the number of people who similarly view or judge others this way is a small percentage of the population, though I am skeptical of it. Still, it is a sad way to be, and I don't wish it on others. Then, I also realize that very few of those who do make such evaluations are likely to find me at all attractive.
