She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

Anyone?Wilko said:Actually, perhaps someone can clarify that for me. I'm under the impression that the match percentages are nothing more than a serving suggestion? Doesn't affect search results or your ability to message other users. Correct?
