[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good looking, intelligent, book lover, attracted to me, good morals, laughed at my jokes.

But if you get right down to it, I could certainly find all those other qualities in many other women. I don't think I was (or am) very complicated or picky. [b]If she passed away or divorced me, she'd easily be replaced.[/b][/quote]

What a lucky lady.   :roll:

I know, I know, you're just "being honest," why should you get slammed.[/quote]

She is lucky. I'm a great guy. But I'm not irreplaceable either. Nobody is.[/quote]

Oh wow, not true. Romantic partners aside, I can think of PLENTY of people in my life who are, without a doubt, irreplaceable.

I find it weird when people make comments like this...it's hard to understand how someone could actually feel the way. The only thing I can conclude is either that they must be 'simpler' than most people (or I must be a heck of a lot more complex...). I had one boyfriend who, I came to realize, was like this. He was a great guy, seemed like quite a catch in every way, but as I tried to get to know him better I realize there was just...nothing else there. Nothing deeper below the surface. He was a good-looking dude and successful, athletic, etc, but as time went on and I tried to get to know him better I realized that...that was it. Nothing below the surface - he was just a simple person. The protagonist in a country song, is you will. Happy go lucky, nice, perfectly pleasant. I would have been bored out of my skull if we ended up together. I need someone who is deeper and 3-dimensional and...interesting to me. [/quote]

Certainly no spouse/SO is irreplaceable.

But anyway, you think you're "complicated" and special. You're not. Nobody is. If you weren't simple, you'd realize this.[/quote]

I'm sorry you can't seem to comprehend what is being said. I guess you haven't experienced this comparison in types of relationships - do you have much dating experience?[/quote]

LOL it is precisely because I DO have lots of dating experience that I comprehend how replaceable women are. Including special "complicated" snowflakes like you, toots.[/quote]

Original "oh wow" commenter here. And no, I don't believe I'm rare and special or a "snowflake" (although way to give away your age!) - in my dating experience, people like you were actually the minority. But I was meeting and dating people at college/grad school and in well-educated circles and environments, so maybe that's why that was my experience. I'm not trying to insult you or say I'm some sort of special rare bird, it just astounds me that there are people who could honestly say "eh, if this person dies I'll just replace her with someone else who is hot and likes books". Or wait, I'm sorry...you even went as far as to say she would "EASILY be replaced". I find that baffling...I can't imagine what a surface level and profoundly unsatisfying relationship you must have if you truly feel that way. And if you truly feel that way and you're satisfied...well okay, yes, you are a simple person[/quote]
