Today, I sent a picture of RQS to TCL and Vicki and got two very different types of responses. Unlike most of my posts, I plan to adapt the normal format to account for two different conversation threads....

I started out by sending a picture of RQS to my two friends. She was wearing a purple coat and colorful leggings. Vicki responded with:
Pretty. Love all the purple and colors. Makes me think she's a fun person
Pretty. Love all the purple and colors. Makes me think she's a fun person
We then talked about where RQS and I were meeting, with nary a mention of RQS's background. Contrast this with TCL's responses:
What does she think about you wanting to send it to me?
What ethnicity is she?
Is she taking a picture of you? I see she's holding a cell phone.
Notice the difference? Vicki is focused on who RQS is, while TCL is concerned about whether I have permission to send the picture to her and what ethnicity RQS identifies as. Who do you think is the more accepting person?
I'll admit that RQS is far outside of the type of person I usually find attractive and want to date. My wife (and most of the women I've dated in middle age) was a "dirty blonde", and I am attracted to women with this color hair. RQS is anything but. This is not the time and place where I plan to tell my readers more about her. But both of us are surprised that we get along together so well....
