Out of Line?

Met this guy online, took it to instant messenger... A few times he mentioned how envious of other because he has this huge disability, etc. Told him that the only disability was his mind...


Ok, I know it may be harsh but it seemed to me that he just kept using it as a "crutch." Also told me that he needed to have fine girls because this way, others would look at him and wonder how he got such a good-looking girl...


Well he stopped talking to me.


When does calling it like you see it become a bad thing?

People are strange and say strange things. Sometimes I don't think they know what they are saying...They just talk. And, through OLD, I am finding out that people want *a lot*....I know I have said it before, but a lot of these guys want a model and they are not even 6's or 7's themselves! It just amazes me! LOL.
No....You were not out of line.

He stopped talking to you because you didn't fall for his line. He has an interesting way of getting plenty of sympathy-f**ks, don't you think?

I remember reading in Jonathan Livingstone Seagull this line, which still resonates in my life: "Accept your limitations, and they are yours to keep". I might be paraphrasing, but that's the way I remember it. It affected me deeply 20 years ago and I still try to keep it in mind.

Can I ask what his disability was?

He sounds angry about his illness, but maybe manipulative too.
