Faye and Sven
Michael Nehora:
Heh, well at least you have a sense of humour about it. On that note, you may be interested in a Kurt Vonnegut short story, "Harrison Bergeron," which takes place in a future society where everyone is required to have one sort of "handicap" or another so that everyone is equal. It's in the Vonnegut collection Welcome to the Monkey House and is a fun read.

If you are using a PC, hold down ALT, type "130" on the number pad, and release ALT.

Thanks, zerodrone; back when I was using Quark on Mac, it was Ctrl-option-e or something.

Yess..... I remember reading that Vonnegut book about 30? years ago; that probably influenced my thinking.
My handicap seems to be Asperger's syndrome, so I have trouble understanding and relating to people, so that makes the attractiveness thing poignant, but moot.
Ferahgo the Assassin:

So, you've never wanted a woman because she was hot/pretty/cute?
It works both ways. A lot of the time I've noticed that a good-looking woman can enjoy being with a below-average looking man as long as he's also intelligent, funny, interesting, or otherwise pleasant, but the opposite is rarely true. Most guys simply do not want to be with an ugly girl regardless of what else she's got (well, maybe if she's willing to put out...).

I guess Sven is one of the people Tomart wants to hunt down and inflict diseases upon. Funny, though, just looking at the cast, the best male candidate for that sort of person would seems to be Marten. Sven (Raven notwithstanding) doesn't really seem that attractive (to me, anyway). I'm guessing he has ker-aasss-maa.
