You didn't understand then.
If it was as obvious as you claim I would not need to ask.
Time and time again you have read and written "evidence your claims" on this forum. This claim of yours isn't magically immune.
You're assuming that:
a) I have some kind of ranking system for my closest friends, (which I don't),
b) I apportion emotional response inequally according to some artificial system, (which I don't),
c) Whatever you (and therefore "everyone else", naturally) would do is what I would do, (which it clearly isn't),
d) My "best mate" - if we could figure out who that might be - is going to be male, (which is by no means certain),
e) That the only reason I'd marry is for love, (which is unlikely),
f) That I would not enter a loveless marriage, (unlikely I would but still an assumption),
g) That I would want to marry anyone at all.
I'm sure there are more, but I have to go now as I have a lift home. L8rs.
