I must be one of those exceptions too!
I’m definately not Brad Pitt (or David Niven), but in college I was dating both “Miss El Cajon” and the first runner up for “Miss San Diego” at the same time. Later I was living with a “Miss Nude California” my current girl friend is knock out gorgeous, especially for a 63 year old. She gets hit on regularly by 30 year olds. I have never gone out of my way to attract particularly “pretty” women as I prefer “brains”, but have ended up dating beautiful women all of my life.
