There seems to be a little, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, interest in what the girl in question looked like and the possibility of ulterior motives on my part. To quell any random thoughts in that direction: She wasn't hot at all. She was actually kinda mousy looking (not that it would have made a difference to me-- I'm 57 and happily married for almost 35 years).

But what impressed me was that, although it was clear she wanted that Diamond desperately, she knew she couldn't afford the $120-- and rather than pull out a credit card, she decided to walk away. Now, I'm a guy who's never paid a penny in credit card interest (one of the reasons I was able to retire at the age of 45)-- so when I saw that she was going to do the fiscally responsible thing, so rarely seen these days, I wanted to reward her for it.
