I’ll step into the minefield.
I can tell if I am attracted to a female just by seeing her from behind, and am rarely dissappointed when I see her face and breast size. They aren’t critical.
What I see from behind is her self esteem.
If she has high self esteem she will be fit.
If she thinks she has something special to offer, you can see it in her haircut. It takes self confidence to experiment with your hair. Which incidentally is your #1 accessory, not your shoes.
If she is sexual you can see it in the style of her clothes. They fit. They entice. This is why men choose younger women, not because they have less wrinkles, but because they express their sexuality.
And posture. Wow, maybe one in 20 girls stands up straight. It’s like a magnet.
All this could apply equally to men. I’d imagine.
I know nothing about you, Meg, except that you have an outstanding mind, and a smile that lights up the room.
A $7 shirt could potentially be very hot!

The $7 shirt doesn’t mean anything more then you’ve got moxy and can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
There is romance out there for you. I found it in an unlikely guy who’s not so much as romantic, but solid in a leave-it-to-Beaver kind of a way.
The trick to finding him? Post your wish list to the universe (the good, and the bad). (You’re good at lists too. I’ve seen that!) I did, and look what’s happened to this second hand rose!
I’d argue with you to the death about the fit = self esteem continuum, since many of the fittest women I know are the most insecure, and fitness is subject to biology and health as well as desire, but everything else seems fitting.
Then again, I also potentially disagree on how a haircut reveals one’s level of confidence. Teenage girls CONSTANTLY experiment… but I wouldn’t call them confident…:-)
But then again, I argue about everything. Wait, why am I single?
Just got home from a night shift and logged in for my daily dose of Meg, and I wasn’t disappointed. Great post, and I can relate to several things you mentioned, especially the self-improvement – been there and done a bit of that lately. :-)
Chin up, girl – good things come to those who wait, right?
PS – I’d take a girl with a $7 shirt and a million-dollar heart over one with an expensive shirt and a cheap heart any day.
Nice post, Meg!
The solution is this: one of these guys (who all owe you big-time) needs to buy the shirt from you for $50, wrap it and give it to you as a surprise. Voile! You’re a girl in a $50 casual shirt from a secret admirer, not Old Navy.
Have a great weekend!
“Because I’m a girl worth charming. I’m a girl worth the time.”
I love that. It took me YEARS to even utter those phrases. And years later I’m still not even sure I believe it. But Chris tells me I am. And I believe him.
(The advising against carnations part made me laugh. And think: YES. ALWAYS.) : )
Does everybody else know what a ‘floaty shirt’ is?
