umm I don't know about all my exes but a couple do seem to have gone on to relationships that appear to be the opposite of all the things they would use to nag me about not being. I don't know if it's my limited perception but I do feel that many men say they want certain things but then end up not having the balls to actually pursue them. I find it mildly amusing.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
