About 2 decades ago, I hired a secretary.
After a few months at work, she surprised me with a personal question.
She asked me if I can tell her my opinion of how she looks as a female.
I liked to take the opportunity and let her hear something pleasant.
I told her:
“You are not very beautiful. But you are surely not ugly”.
“You are not tall, but not short”.
“You don’t have a creative mind. But you are too far from being dumb”.
“You are not fat and not thin”.
Naturally, she (as some of you here
) didn’t know that it was just the introductory of what she will hear and let her feel very good.
==================================================
"Therefore, if I like comparing you to food, you are like bread that a man doesn’t mind eating every day as long as he lives."

For those who like reading what I told her next, I wrote it between the two dashed lines above using white ink.
It becomes visible if you select it as if you like copying it.
