Chile Chef - Trust me and my life knowledge. A nice young man that can cook, balance his checkbook, and doesn't have a huge debt on graduation?
You will have the opportunity for the nice ladies to meet you. Just don't try too hard. The nice ones will be looking for you. Also, don't let on the weight is even a concept. Even the ones you marry will hold a grudge if you point out that you "both" could stand a bit more exercise. A life lesson on this for you? Never measure anyone by what's on the out side. It's what's on the inside that counts. The outside can always be changed with enough incentive, the inside can't be.
I like the buggy car though... that should earn you a few points. Every one likes or respects people slightly out of norm, and following their own path.
Individuality is a good thing. In other words, don't be anyone's clone. Like yourself, take care of your self, and you'll soon have a sphere of friends male and female that will boost the rest of your life.
Jeez.. I'm starting to feel old now that I give this type advice
