Sorry to bring this back up again, but this idiot’s take on the whole affair is clownishly fucking moronic:
The problem is that she’s saying SHE SETTLED FOR HIM. That he’s not hot enough to be a hookup, but he’ll do for stability’s sake. No one, man or woman, wants to hear that. If my partner didn’t think I was super hot (and vice versa), I’d want to break up because I’d be doing her and myself a huge, huge disservice. What she said was clearly not awkward wording and if it was, it was the most backhanded “compliment” in recorded history. Seriously, with a backhand that good she should play pro tennis.
Ok, since a lot of you are dense, think about it this way. One time I lost my partner in the grocery store. Went to seek her out. Got distracted looking at other crap there, my mind wandered, and as I was gazing down an aisle completely zoned out I saw a woman and thought, Wow, whoever is with her is lucky. She’s just gorgeous. And then my brain engaged again and I realized IT WAS MY PARTNER. Yay, the lucky guy was ME! WOOHOO!
If you don’t feel that way about whoever you’re currently with, you’re with the wrong fucking person. Simple as that. And it’s clear that she in fact does not feel that way about him. Why is that so hard for people (mostly women, but not all) to understand?
