People admire "attractive" persons of the opposite sex. Some percentage
of people admire attractive persons of the same sex. Neither of these
sentiments have anything to do with competence. The original poster did
not imply that the "attractive" person who took care of him was did the
job better or worse because of physical appearance. He merely noted that
the attractiveness added to his pleasure. A very human , even instinctual
reaction.

All of which brings us to my gripe with those who flamed/chided him. All
of these individuals were given a choice to think either well of someone
or poorly of someone. Each of those individuals *chose* in the absense
of any evidence to believe poorly of this person. Each of them good have
thought well of him, not flamed him , not have emoted quite so strongly
and thus been happier and more pleasant themselves.
