Selena: little old for you?

Selena: she doesn't seem entirely terrible
me: there's like three references to Christianity in the first three paragraphs
Selena: i skimmed that shit
Selena: i don't want to look at a woman's profile when her eyes are too close together
me: actually the women down here aren't that bad
Selena: i can picture them being attractive in a big fake blonde sort of way
me: it's just that they're so much cleverer on average in New York
me: yeah, but I don't go for that
Selena: i know you don't
