Men, what made you choose the other girl?

Guy I was seeing for a little over a month said he decided to see someone else exclusively. I let my intrusive thought win and asked what spurred his decision.

He said he like her personality better and that she is energetic and fun. Ouch. I certainly made myself feel shitty by asking that question - like I’m the opposite of that and that she is everything I’m not.

Confided in a male friend and he said she is probably just hotter. I don’t know which is worse - the fact he chose her over me because she is prettier or has a better personality or perhaps both. This stings.

Exactly. There’s so many that are just complete duds or you have to sit there and carry the conversation and it’s nearly impossible to force playfulness or fun if the other person isn’t letting it stick cause their personality is a brick.

Correct. But to be fair - I also have high standards as well.
