Such is vanity that Stern's clients sometimes have unrealistic visions of the sort of person they could reasonably expect to attract as a mate. "We had this gentleman, very bright but average looking, certainly no Tom Selleck, and he described someone who looked like Farrah Fawcett. Well, there's no way. Only a 10 can ask for a 10."
