Honey feels a sense of despair, believing that the arrogant telephone salesman will return to Texas just as superficial and self-centered as before. She sees no hope for change in him and feels disappointed in his character. The man's lack of charm and depth seems to be a barrier to any meaningful connection.

She is baffled that such an unremarkable, dull individual could manage to attract both a wife and a girlfriend. This situation leaves her feeling both discouraged and bewildered, emphasizing her perception of the man's unworthiness and the unfairness of how charm and superficial appeal can lead to success with women.
