I think all WS affair down too or rather, the OM/W affair up. I think a lot of it is someone trying to get a hook into your S. Why would they go for someone that does not fit the mould of what they want - they want attractive, security, kind etc. I think the Ws is actually just flattered to some degree and accepts the advance - then runs with it. At some point the wheels come off (often). Just MHO.

I think they do affair down and I agree that attention plays a factor. I've heard from many people that XW has affaired down and that ow cannot even hold a candle... I've heard many things about her looks and personality and she is practically my polar opposite from the fact that she's very young and immature and insecure to our actual physical appearances are completely opposite. She is nothing of what my XW says she wants...and yet. there she is.
