Dear Prudence...

Today Prudence received a letter from a woman who is "in love" and "talking about marriage" with an intelligent, wonderful man. Her problem? He is apparently "not as attractive" as she is and she wants to adopt rather than risk having ugly babies. Prudence let her have it, of course, but all I could think was "RUN MAN!!!!! RUN!!!!!!" I mean seriously, how shallow could you possibly be!?!?!?

Who is prudence???

She writes this advice column. I think she is Dear Abby's daughter.

Wow! And that she would put those feelings into words and actually send them in- horrible! Run man!

i'd rather have that child look like his father than act like his mother.

That's pretty much what Prudence said.

I like Prudence - she gives funny answers sometimes. And yes, that man should RUN!

Pfft- Busy is at least a 12/10...I'm a 4 tops. This lady was stupid. Our kids are cute as can be. See... the really cute one should balance it out :P

I think this shallow self-centered chick should take a flying leap. For goodness sake! And, if she has kids, how attractive does she think she is going to be at 2 a.m. with a screaming child on her hip. I hope that guy reads Prudence's letter and bolts. He doesn't need to marry a child.
