I wouldn't know about that.
They need a bit of drama in their love lives.
I would have liked considerably less in mine.

I didn't ask you if you 'know' about that. I mean, there are how? many billion people on the planet so there are going to be a certain number who enjoy drama in their love lives. It's not exactly freakish alien behaviour. I'm sure there are plenty who like sucking each others' big toe as well!

Some people are allergic to drama, honestly.

Lack of drama does not mean boredom.

There is a huge spectrum between the two.

Drama and boredom are not even contraries, are they ?

The pickers are also the dumpers.

They are used to playing the active part.

They take a risk when they try to pick (of being rejected and therefore humiliated) but when they dump the pickee later they get even (in a way).

The pickee can alleviate the pain by pretending that no picking has ever taken place at all.

In the book "Libres d´aimer" which is about cougars in literature there are lots of examples about how elderly women take advantage of young inexperienced men who are called toy boys or gigolos.

They don´t seem to mind being picked.
