馬小哈
她叫馬小哈，在外人眼裡是漂亮，性感的女孩，從幼稚園到碩士畢業都是優等生。眼看就奔三了，仍然是單身。
現在流行相親，單身人士都浩浩蕩蕩奔赴各種相親會，尋找心儀的另一半，小哈也去過幾次，但都沒找到合心意的對象。
外貌協會的小哈，她要找條件相當的帥哥。小哈的父母在國內為她著急，叫她降低條件，差不多就把自己嫁出去算了。他們甚至親自出馬為她相親。 他們相中了同在國外的兩個年齡相當，條件相當的年青人X 和 Y。當然，X君與Y君也是父母代替相的親。他們兩人實在沒時間理這些「俗務」。
人為什麼要戀愛，結婚呢？簡直是浪費時間，忙啊，35歲之後結婚不遲嘛。還不如先把時間投入到有意義的事情去， 譬如讀書，寫作，做義工。當然，這是他們對父母的推搪說法。除了實在是忙之外， X和Y的情況各異。 X是人們眼中的極品帥哥，可惜他不喜歡女人，美女們嘆息世間的帥哥又浪費了一名。Y長相平平，但他才華橫溢，上天可能是公平的，才華蓋世的帥哥很可能是個花心蘿蔔。Y喜歡讀書，常在論壇激揚文字，指點江山，是有名氣的業餘詩人，作家。 但他不相信網戀，直到那天。
那天小哈的母親給她同時發去X和Y的照片和資料，叫她挑選，交往。
外貌控的小哈一眼看中了X，是情理中的事。可她卻搞錯了X和Y的介紹資料。 難道是色迷心竅？ 天知道她那天為何出錯。 Y早已收到了國內關於小哈情況的Email，Y對小哈的美貌驚為天人，真是少見的美女。兩人的郵箱開始忙起來。 信多的時候每天達100封之多。什麼忙啊，要讀書啊做義工啊都是假的，那是沒遇到自己的意中人的說法。正常的人誰願意孤單一個？
終於見面的時候到了，結果可想而知，見面那天小哈發現Y並非照片中的X，愕然，失望，甚至生氣自己的糊塗。但Y對她已經不可自拔。雙方陷入煩惱中。

Of Beauty
Francis Bacon
(1561-1626)
VIRTUE is like a rich stone, best plain set; and surely virtue is best, in a body that is comely, though not of delicate features; and that hath rather dignity of presence, than beauty of aspect4. Neither is it almost seen, that very beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue; as if nature were rather busy, not to err, than in labor to produce excellency. And therefore they prove accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue.
But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the Sophy of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men of their times. In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color; and that of decent and gracious motion, more than that of favor. That is the best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express; no, nor the first sight of the life.
There is no excellent beauty, that hath not some strangeness in the proportion. A man cannot tell whether Apelles, or Albert Durer, were the more trifler; whereof the one, would make a personage by geometrical proportions; the other, by taking the best parts out of divers faces, to make one excellent. Such personages, I think, would please nobody, but the painter that made them. Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was; but he must do it by a kind of felicity (as a musician that maketh an excellent air in music), and not by rule.
A man shall see faces, that if you examine them part by part, you shall find never a good; and yet altogether do well. If it be true that the principal part of beauty is in decent motion, certainly it is no marvel, though persons in years seem many times more amiable; pulchrorum autumnus pulcher; for no youth can be comely but by pardon, and considering the youth, as to make up the comeliness.
Beauty is as summer fruits, which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and for the most part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance; but yet certainly again, if it light well, it maketh virtue shine, and vices blush.
