But > of course, as you so often say, "the fault was all on my ex" > Hey Steve baby - newsflash - you only know me virtually. If reality - virtual and/or 3D - can match your fantasy. I never said all the fault was my ex, just that I could identify and work on my faults and she remains as stunted as she was, nor do I claim I am a champion of women - it's just a fantasy of yours. I am just expressing my love for women, just because I say my ex is stunted doesn't invalidate my love for women, I still love my ex too - just that I will never live with her again or support her delusions. Anyway you already know I don't treat any man as my equal (well except for one) - so my friends are all women, if you can get at least one of them to say that Ravi is the not one of the most loving and empathetic I will concede defeat. In fact just last week one of them, a therapist mind you - asked me how I learnt empathy, that she had to train herself to learn empathy and that she almost knew no man who was as empathetic as me, I said courtesy of my life, especially with my ex - I was put on fast track to learn and express empathy. This may surprise you - I tell people my ex was my Guru - of course that still puts her in a very bad light. Good luck with your delusional fantasies - I hope they provide you some relief. > > > On Fri, Apr 26, 2013 at 9:57 PM, Emily Reyn emilymae.reyn@... wrote: > > > > > ** > > > > > > > > > > Curtis, I actually wouldn't have interpreted it this way.
