marry your own kind? What is your kind?

[Guest guest]

Great topic!

When I first joined LPA some 28 year ago or so, I unfortunately got the

impression that in the LP community it was felt that we should " stick to our own

kind. " It was one of many reasons I've never really warmed up to LPA.

What was most dismaying is that although I'm not repulsive, LP guys would barely

look at me - I got the feeling I was the wrong " type " of dwarf.

So, I never dated any LP guys and I ended up dating AP guys and eventually met

and married a " biggie. "

But you know what? He is " one of my own kind. " We share the same values and he

is kind, gentle, brilliant, funny and just plain good. And from the time we

started keeping company everybody said to us " you two are so perfect for each

other! " and " when are you getting married? " I think it was because of who we

were inside - not our outside construction. And we have friends who tell us " I

want to have the kind of relationship you two have. " Our marriage was made in

heaven, not in the body shop.

The best you can do with the " willfully stupid " is pity them.

Everybody have a wonderful holiday season!
