Dating: Ever been oddly attracted?
I was reading an article about some New York bachelors who admitted that their swanky apartments helped them score with the ladies. Of course I found this outrageous and ridiculous but soon realized that some people are attracted to people for odd reasons.
I once was so enamored with a guy simply because he had the most amazing shoes. Seriously, I actually looked forward to our dates because I wanted to see what shoes he would wear. Strange, I know!
Do you recall being oddly attracted to someone? Maybe it caught you off guard, or surprised you. Perhaps you didn’t know you were into chicks who wore glasses or maybe you discovered that men who are professors are sexy.
What is the strangest thing that attracted you to someone or vice versa?

Leggs: pain has nothing to do with “playing victim” and of course everyone is susceptible to pain but to wallow in pain simply because you believer you had more invested in a relationship or that you cared more about the relationship that the other person is “playing victim”. That’s why she asked the question as if men the demise of the relationship didn’t affect her ex because he was able to move on.

Sorry, ForReal, I see my 4:19. Different people take care of that. I don’t have a man in my house to look at sideways while someone else takes care of certain things!!!

Wallowing/pain, same thing. And to ask why someone is able to move on faster than you can is not “playing victim.”

@ForReal ~ if I did have a man in my home and he was willing to pay others to take care of necessary repairs, upkeep, fine! He’s working and supposedly I’m not so if he budgets it in, it’s on him!

“Wallowing/pain, same thing” – Wallowing and pain are not the same thing and they are even spelled differently. You can wallow in various ish.
“And to ask why someone is able to move on faster than you can is not “playing victim.” – Then why ask the question?

For Real: So, not only does he have to budget for it but he also has to schedule it even tho you are not working?

For Real, I was trying to figure out how to show that same blase, blase, whatever, whatever to the world regardless of how I feel inside. It’s not about being a victim; it’s wondering how someone else can put on a strong front no matter how they feel inside.
Does that make more sense?

Leggs: “don’t know…it’s a question I would never ask!” – When that question is asked it has this meaning ” How could you do this to me” i.e. playing the victim.

And, For Real, I might buy your “When that question is asked it has this meaning ” How could you do this to me” i.e. playing the victim” interpretation if I were speaking to HIM. But I wasn’t, and I haven’t, and I won’t speak to him. I do have a little pride. So there!
