Ah but what about a "looker " with a really nasty personality?

Met several and ran away from them.

"Go for someone spiritual"!! What they really meant was, date someone who is a mindless follower of others. My ex put on a show, she would aux-pioneer, but I knew her heart wasn't in it. She did it to impress others, not cause she sincerely wanted to. She was a victim of too much oppression and control. Oppression and control from the two sources she put the most trust in; her parents, and her 'faith'. When I began 'courting' her, she was a dysfunctional broken assemblage, not that I was any better, for we both had yet to develop our own independence.
