“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Recently the exasperated rantings of a woman with an absurdly large nose over the seemingly ridiculous expectations that men have of their ideal woman got me thinking about something I wrote a while back regarding what it means to be a truly beautiful woman. The...

The “perfect” girlfriend?
