She's sweet, but she's fucked up

I think you're an 8 or a 9, maybe a 9 1/2 in 4 beers time

I just saw this car that made my heart beat fast. I'm not much of a car person, meaning I don't know a lot about them, I just know what they look like on the outside and whether I think they're pretty or not. But I just saw this 1983 Mercedes for sale and I'm in love. I can't really describe it, but I liked what I saw and that's enough for me. Unfortunately, I'm poor and it also has 171,000 miles, so it would be a completely impractical purchase. But I just thought I'd mention it anyway.
I think it's funny when you see someone who you first met when you were drunk but the second time you're sober...well, I think it's funny how different they look. Sometimes it's like they're a completely different person. I met this one guy and in my head remembered him being very attractive, in this geeky sort of way (the way I like it) but when I saw him again, maybe it was that I was able to really analyze him and notice his flaws but the image in my head didn't match up to reality. I always say I don't want to be judged on my looks but on my personality (sounds like something an ugly person would say, right?) but I guess I just want a fair shot b/c I know how people can become more attractive to you the more you know them. Unfortunately, looks come first and personality follows. The guy, the one I mentioned two sentences ago, dresses like he's 14. This is one thing I noticed. But he's really funny, so that should count for something. Judge others lest ye be judged, that's the saying. But everyone does this and if you're thinking "I don't, I'm not like that" then you're lying. It's human nature. So I guess I shouldn't think I'm a bad person for thinking this way, but I also can't get angry or hurt when I'm judged in the same way. People might not like the way I dress. Or the way I part my hair. Where did I get that- is it from a song?
So I'm trying to tell a friend how much this guy sucks. I want her to know that she is such an amazing person who should be put on a pedastool by any guy who's lucky enough to date her, to get the honor of spending time with her. B/c I know how much fun she is to hang out with- there's basically not a thing about her that's not interesting. To this, I'm sure she'll roll her eyes or say "pshaw" (I highly doubt the pshaw thing). I know it's much easier to give advice when it's not you. B/c if it were me, I wouldn't listen to any of this and I would just wallow in my own self pity. But sometimes that can be fun (by fun, I mean horrible) too. A little wine, a little crying induced via sad music or a sad movie. It's the bad times that make the good times that much better.
