ORIGINAL: leadership527 In my experience, most people really aren't even able to see the other gender at all as a "person". *Boggle* Our experiences do not concur. No idea which one of us that makes right, or even maybe we're both wrong, but still; not my experience at all, and I don't mean just me, but just about every couple I know. Now the former couples yes, maybe. I think you may not have read the entire post from leadership527. Would you disagree that most people, when they first meet, have an idealized view of what they hope they will find in a relationship? I believe that is true for everyone on the planet. It does not mean that you STAY in that mode; some do, some move forward when they start finding out more about the other person. I think it would be far too idealistic to think otherwise; everyone goes into things with a modicum of idealism which then goes into different directions, such as cynicism that they may not find their ideal that they think they need for happiness, or it goes to negativism and frustration, or best of all, they find they are pleasantly surprised at someone they did not think would fit their ideal. But overall, I don't find his comment to be that mind boggling.
