memo; For argument’s sake,
lets say that there is a girl that is not heavy, but not skinny,
Let us say that girl could’ve been you. Are you telling me you would say “I’m not slim” on your resume?
If so, I tip my hat (a borsalino) to you.

You’d be happily married, as opposed to your Shitoh which would
leave the full-ish person at home almost dateless.

Personality, brilliant as it can be, does not shine through the resume, and has to be experienced in person.
