So I broke up with Alice over a long conversation that included an hour-long primer on evolutionary psychology in which I explained how natural selection had built me to be attracted to certain features that she lacked.
I do not get this but it would be immediately clear if you were more specific, e. g. you said you decided she is too fat.
So, what was it?
(I am not going to comment on this thread again because I am curious and I am going to go read the l-z version right now.)
It doesn’t matter. Any conversation in which you tell a partner how evolution has built you not to be attracted to them will be offensive, even if they’ve said they value honesty. It could be that she’s too fat, or it could be that her elbows aren’t creased enough, or it could be that she sets her salad fork on the inside instead of the outside. It just isn’t the breakup conversation to have.
