A shrug or a confrontation?

It's a decidedly awkward moment when an amiga introduces you to a friend of hers as your perfect match. That's all well and good if the friend is even mildly good looking. That situation can be handled without the slightest anxiety. When that person is over-weight and considerably unattractive, however, that introduction becomes as uncomfortable as legend. You not only have to diffuse any unfounded expectations from your introductee, but also must act falsely appreciative that your friend would think to match you with someone else. After all that, there is a lingering sense of shock (and awe) that your friend would actually not see how much of a mismatch this would be! And resentment sets in later when the logical questions linger in your head, "Is this a reflection of my friend's opinion about me? And should I be upset about this?" Then, more appropriately, you give up your depressing questions and replace them with the better question of "The fuck do I care?"
