You know, in all my years on this board, I have seldom seen an OW who was better than the LBS, and surprisingly often, the OW isn't even remotely in the same class.
Even my H's OW, who had the advantages of being younger (18 years!), educated (a nurse to my MD degree, but still), and Asian (fantasy of H's, probably related to a failed college romance with a Korean girl) - well, H admitted afterwards that she wasn't that attractive (Chinese peasant face - he said he thought to himself "why couldn't I have fallen in love with a prettier girl"! H thinks I'm still prettier) and of course, couldn't hold a candle to me in the intellectual arena - or in bed, for that matter!!!!
I think my H's choice in affair partner mostly had to do with proximity and her predatory nature, but again - I'm just always surprised how the OW is usually less than the LBS in so many ways.
