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.
