Quote From: juliebggHi, misssjane. My reference about Jen was not so much a personal one, as to make a point to the writer I was responding to. I don't know whether or not Jen is a nice person or who was at fault with the breakup. I don't think we can always go by what we see in pictures as people will often put on a public face, especially in Hollywood. They could have been trying to keep up their image as "golden couple" while who knows what was really happening. We have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.
The point I was making was to someone who seems to think that looks and youth are everything in a relationship and that other qualities are only secondary. The point I was making is that looks and youth alone are not enough to hold a relationship together. As someone who is in a long term marriage, I value things such as loyalty, a good sense of humor, intelligence, shared interests, respect, love..you get the picture. These are some of the traits that are part of my marriage which has been a success and has lasted many many years. I get the idea that the writer I was responding to is having difficulties with relationships. I'd run for the hills real fast from someone who places such low value on older women. Even if I was a 20 something I'd be wary that I would be a disposable commodity once I got older. Perhaps these are the vibes this person sends out and why would any girl want that? There was also alot of hostility and negativism in that writer's posts. Yes, the ladies must be running for the hills!!
Anyway, back to Jen...if she is as wonderful and nice as you say, perhaps she will have a brighter future with someone else soon.
As for "Jen", you say your reference about her "was not so much a personal one". No, it's just that you tried to use someone's personal misfortune and sadness for your own benefit. Well done.
You say I'm "someone who seems to think that looks and youth are everything in a relationship and that other qualities are only secondary." Again, you've either missed the point or are simply trying to avoid it in order to avoid admitting that your "argument" doesn't hold water.
"I get the idea that the writer I was responding to is having difficulties with relationships." As you know nothing about me or my relationships, this is nothing but a sad attempt to bolster your argument by insulting me. Should we read from your postings that you're upset that you're older and that you feel less attractive?
"I'd run for the hills real fast from someone who places such low value on older women." Again, a gross misrepresentation of what I've said. But then I guess I'd run for the hills from someone who is so willing to misrepresent the statements of others and resort to insults.
"Perhaps these are the vibes this person sends out and why would any girl want that?" You don't know what "vibes" I "send out", other than my replies to you - and even that's questionable, as it seems you can't really comprehend what I've written. Another sad attempt to bolster your argument by insulting me.
"There was also alot of hostility and negativism in that writer's posts." The hostility and negativism started with your earlier comments to other people who've posted on this board. My comments to you have been forthright without being either hostile or negative - unlike your comments have been.
"Yes, the ladies must be running for the hills!!" Yet another sad attempt to bolster your argument by insulting me. What's that now, 3?
When all is said and done, you've simply regressed to personal insults. Again, well done.
