I am still amazed that no one else read more into her time in the Caribbean. That line had alarm bells ringing for me.

My take on the Caribbean trip is this. The girlfriend probably mentioned to her friends that things weren't working out with the boyfriend. Then, one friend chimed in and said "break it off", another friend agreed, and another friend agreed. This led to her being pushed over the fence in her decision to break up with him.

My personal experience with women is this. Many have a "pile on" or "herd" type of mentality. A lot of men have it too, but I constantly see it with women. I've witnessed it among my friends, my family (mom and sister), and on here. Once one women agrees with another, the rest of her pack join right in. This is one of the reasons why when women go against the grain, it's rare and a shock (and even historical!), look at Rosa Parks and Aung San Suu Kyi.

OK, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic.. but David, that's my take on what happened in the Caribbean.

That makes a lot of sense. That's a very Occam's Razor type interpretation. Remember that the simplest explanation is usually the correct explanation.

When I read the Caribbean line, I was thinking that she met a guy down there that stirred up some emotions and made her re-assess where things stood with the guy at home. A new environment, time away from the stresses of work, sunshine, alcohol and tanned, mostly naked males have a way of changing a perspective for a woman.

I had a relationship that I thought wasn't very serious. He went away for 2 weeks and was like "I missed you so much!" And I was like "I didn't miss you, so we should prob break up... I thought we were on the same page"

I think that's what happened and she just said too attractive to make it a compliment because he seems like a decent guy. Also, there's no evidence that he is flawed, they could just be incompatible. Although gorgeous and apparently thoughtful... Def send him my way!

I've been in a situation like this before and while it wasn't a "romantic" relationship, I actually had a guy tell me he didn't think I would ever talk to him because I was so "hot"..... ?????

We became friends after meeting at a local bar and chit chatted for over an hour and exchanged numbers because we had the same taste in music. He was funny and sarcastic - TOTALLY not my type - but I found him refreshing because he actually did not even try to hit on me at all. He was just polite. That's difficult to come by these days.

He didn't disclose about his fear of me not talking to him until months after we became friends.... after which we both laughed, but truth be told to this day he is one of my very best guy friends in the world and I'm glad he took the chance to talk to me. He still says to this day that he was just my "safe" sidekick, but we were total BFF's and went everywhere together for years.

He's been one of my most trusted friends I've had in my entire life..... and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I read into that as well. I don't think the trip in of itself had anything to do with the breakup. I think she had probably made up her mind prior to the trip and her gal-pals probably provided the verbal validation she was looking for to make it happen....

I think so too.

I have the feeling the "too good looking" thing was an excuse. I could see why someone would feel like that, but I would never in my right mind tell the person, "you're too hot for me." It's not like your friends are going to say, "he's too hot for you, you should break up with him."

ETA - This really cute guy just winked at me on Match. First thought...he is either weird or too good to be true. So I completely see how people get like that. Problem is, I think this girl was lying to him.
