I'm pretty sure I didn't; the age difference is just way too small. Unless there was a time machine involved...

Anyway, I'd always heard that the women tended to marry men like dear ol' Dad. At any rate, MJ didn't lack for a good model; she just had a bad model as well and ended up picking a guy like that one instead. The non-cuddliness wasn't "all she knew" as far as I can tell, but it is what she went with in her partner. So maybe the women are more drawn to guys like their mothers for some reason.

Something just occurred to me. Perhaps guys don't pick people like their mothers; instead the wife starts acting like his mother because she gets more of a reaction when she uses the same signals his mother does, and over time she tends to do more of what works. I could see how that would work on women as well.

a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
