This article served me: it showed me more about the anger of women than any other I have read.

Men have physical image problems, too, though not of the same order. For what it's worth, my vanity disappeared when I realized there is only one person for whom I need to be attractive, and she seems to be OK with things.

In the process, I also learned that "friends" are overrated. There for the good times, but rarely at your back when you need them most.
