Nah, I know exactly how ugly I am and tailor my expectations accordingly.

That's been my experience.

While I do agree with this, I see a fat 140-pounder exactly as she is, but can still be attracted to her nevertheless.

A forum question on another site asked why guys always think they're more attractive than what they are. (It's a dating site, and one category is "Looks".)

I said, "Then I must REALLY be a troll, because I put down below average."

That's what I'm going to put down in my personals profile:


Hey, folks -- get your very own Sasquatch!

Opens jars. Kills bugs.

Shrek translated into Russian. Comes with Scottish-accented subtitles. Speaks and cooks reasonable Italian. Sings in shower but app is removable.

Do not taunt when hungry.

It used to be fairly fluent, vocabulary being the real limitation but with me having a remarkable ability to use root words to build context. However, these days I understand much more than I can speak (thru lack of practice and the passage of time) so it's become passive. However, that gives me hope it will be relatively easy to revive.

I lived in Southern Italy (Puglia) for two years, learned most of what I know about cooking from my wee landlady, Teresa (la mia piccola mamma).

In all fairness I don't know if I should say I still speak it, but I can still translate for folks when watching movies most of the time.
