A Story about the Body

For such a short story I found this story having a lot of meaning to it. I'm glad I read it three times because the first time I was dumbfounded. For one, this story shows me how shallow guys can be. It's amazing how great he thought she was at the beginning of the story then once he found out she didn't have breasts his interest in her completely went away. Sure, it sucks for him in a sexual way, but there is so much more to his lady or any lady for that matter than her breasts! With the way he described her in the beginning you would think he was in love with her. Except when you're in love with someone it doesn't matter if they don't have all of the qualities you're looking for. I think the point of her leaving a bowl with rose petals with bees in the bottom was a representation of what he thought of her. He loved how she looked on the outside and everything about her work. But once he got passed all that and found something personal about her and didn't like it he saw her like he saw those dead bees. Even though this was written 22 years ago, it can relate to today too. A lot of guys will see what they like, but once that girl opens up to them and gets personal they leave and move on to the next fling they can get. Of course not all guys are like this, but many are. So in a way, guys and girls can relate to this story. Almost every girl has told a guy they want to be with him and he agrees, but once she opens up to him and he finds something he doesn't like he runs. And almost every guy has liked a girl but once he found something that wasn't adequate enough for him he dropped it like a hot potato.
