OP is usually someone they can feel like they are helping in some way. And like Florence Nighting Gale they usually fall madly in love and knock boots.
If it is MLC for the spouse, then, and this from the horse's mouth (my wife and several others who suffered MLC some who did look like horses...but not my wife) They are unable to help themselves, they are unable to fix this 'broke' thing inside of them.
So much like displaced anger on the LBS. They displace the 'fix' on others. If I can fix/help them then maybe I can feel better, maybe I can fix/help myself.
So really compare yourself to the OP. Yes they might be thinner, or younger...but really I think in most cases...they are in serious need of fixing in some manner.
Trapt's views are spot on from my experience as well.
