There is much to be said for sexy librarians....
Actually, the analogy isn't bad. I've been married for longer than many of you have been alive, and here's a bit of wisdom.
In the grand scheme of things, one of the best traits a spouse can possibly have is the ability to be a good roommate.
Because, while things may start out all romantic, with the idea of finding your soul mate high up on the list, passionate white-hot sex, heartfelt devotion and all that...
... at the end of the day you have to live with the person.
So you have to appreciate your mate for her/his ability to form a lasting relationship.
A bike that you love to ride once a week but can't stand after a few hours for whatever reason (comfort, noise, too much to deal with in the real world) is probably not a great choice. A bike that you can hop on any time and go have a blast with will give you a much more rewarding experience. Even if she's not the kind who wears stilettos and short skirts all the time.
