Well, yes the ex is a jerk - and for the record I didn't even consider this latest attempt to "woo" me. I brought it up to show how my trans* friends were so resigned to a life of part-time secret relationships that this one was actually a "good catch". Some of my friends were obviously in the "you can do better girl" camp, some were kinda so/so, but there was a real majority who were telling me this really was about as good as it realistically gets.
I think it's this attitude that feeds the idea that guys are doing us a favor by paying us any attention at all. Seriously, why put up with someone who expects a diamond (figuratively) when there is someone just as cute willing to settle for a couple rocks.
