My dinner date

A few decades ago, I was working on a contract for GM. There was a woman engineer who I worked with who was perhaps the most attractive woman I'd ever seen who wasn't a photograph in a men's magazine. We were staffing an exhibit at a booth promoting a GM software standard - not exactly exciting stuff. In any event, I had a pile of cash to help with set-up of the booth - as one typically would need to bribe exhibit hall staff for whatever one needed - but it soon became clear that all I needed to do was to turn to my colleague and ask her to request whatever was needed - and no cash was ever needed. They'd have eaten ground glass if she asked them to or moved our booth on stage - nothing was impossible if she asked.

Female beauty is a force on the level of the other primal forces, like gravity, and nuclear, and whatever else that I can't remember. My wife was considered the prettiest girl in her high school. (I only know that because she mentioned it once as an anodyne aside, not like she brags about it. She's actually just an observer of the fact.)

Yeah, I'm like that too. It's a burden sometimes.

@kluurs Reminds me of someone I worked with at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) many years ago. She was about the same age as me and if you saw a picture of her you'd think she was pretty, but in person she was absolutely radiant. Not the exact same story as yours, but it's funny how in-person beauty can be on a whole other level.
