intimidated by your sexiness

You know the type: That one friend who rebounds from every breakup by saying her guy broke things off because he was, um, intimidated by her.

You nod enthusiastically, encouraging her with simple "uh-huhs."

All while thinking that line is a shot of BS. You know, right up there with guys who break up with you because they're "scared."

I'm glad The Frisky is finally debunking the "he was intimidated by me" mentality with this article, a list of reasons you WON'T get dumped. A sample:

Don’t blame your broken heart on his inability to handle your extreme fabulosity. The fact of the matter is that nobody but a psycho is going to dump you be because you’re too perfect.

It's tough love, but the author touches on a valid point:

We over-analyze breakups. Most of the time, severed ties aren't a result of some deep psychological flaw. A breakup is just what happens when things get stale.

Thoughts?
