Adamagnet Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I just caught this article and it reminded me of the reaction formation that is so commonly seen throughout this board. She fully believed her breathtaking attractiveness was anything but a man-magnet -- as one might expect. Instead, she said, her beauty acted as a Romeo-repellant, causing suitors to run screaming from her. Obviously, I explained the situation to her (perhaps it wasn't her gorgeous outsides, but her narcissistic insides that were doing the damage) http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/12/18/reasons.you.wont.get.dumped/index.html?iref=mpstoryview Do you recognize your defense mechanisms?
IrishCarBomb Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 The "too smart" comment seems right. Every girl I've heard say this ignored some other very damaging personality trait.
