I think more about her best friend than I think about her

Dear Friend,
I'm sure most guys fantasise about women they cannot be with in real life. Of course, the real test would be to see if they would act on those fantasies if the opportunity ever came along. As far as simple masturbation goes, it does seem alright as long as you keep it to yourself and not tell your gal.

Will she stand by me despite my average looks?

Dear Diana,
She's 17, I'm 21. I'm not good to look at but definitely have sex appeal. While I'm a middle-class guy, she's a rich gal (and is also very beautiful). She's spoilt for choice as far as boys are concerned but I feel none will love her as much as I do. I doubt she will stick by me forever. Is there a possibility I could get dumped? I read an article in a leading newspaper that beautiful girls don't stick for long with average-looking boys.

Dear Friend,
Live in the moment. If she's with you now, it's because she sees something in you that others cannot and do not. Most studies conducted are speculative at best and are rarely, if ever, conclusive. The subject of study for them is a closed group that need not reflect more than the characteristic of a given group. You and your girlfriend might possibly be an exception to the group and you will never know if you keep letting these things affect you. If your average looks upset you, this could reflect in your overall attitude.
