So Couple A wins and they go off with Couple C and play. Things go ok, but maybe not great and now they are all done and they return to the table. Couple A would just as soon move on and away from the couple they just played with but out of politeness they return to the table. Now Couple C is back at the table and it's all "Hey, how bout you guys? You still interested?" "Well, um no actually we've been sitting here chatting with Couple #4 while you were gone and I think we are all gonna go hook up now, see ya". So we are left with two couples, the same two that had gone off and played together but now Couple A is just ITCHING for an excuse to leave the table rather than be stranded with Couple C, so off they go, leaving Couple C to fend for themselves.
Same situation, just different players and from a slightly different perspective.
I think we can all feel used on occasion, or feel like we are using others, and in the end... aren't we? | Excellent point |
