By "one of them", do you mean her because she's preggie? Man, that sure would suck if he couldn't handle that! Except they met when they were both fat. By the 3rd episode they were dating. I'm sure there are guys like that, though, as sad as it may be.
I just can't imagine what could be so severe that she (since she's the one who released the statement) could even contemplate taking such a drastic step at 7 mos. pregnant let alone announce it to the world through press release at this point in time. Sad. I just can't fathom people doing these things.

When is the A.I. finale? How many more weeks of this?
It just seems to be dragging on forever.
Funny how things have changed. I remember being disappointed that I had to miss a crucial episode during the finales in 2006 when Taylor Hicks (love him) was performing - because I went into labor. But now, I think I'd rather go through labor than sit through another season of this show.

For those who watch Biggest Loser:
Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news. Sam Poueu & Stephanie Anderson, the couple who met & got engaged on the show, are getting divorced even though their first baby is on the way. Unbelievable! Inconceivable!
I wonder what went wrong. In the article below, it's all about how much they love each other to pieces. Geez, they've only been married a year.
Biggest Loser couple announce they're getting a divorce... two months BEFORE their first baby is due

"Friend Zone" on MTV is pretty good! I stayed up until midnight watching it last night. Couldn't turn it off.
Some of these people are morons, though. There was an episode this week where one guy was going to confess his feelings for his best friend. He wasn't sure she felt the same. He says their favorite thing to do together is eat ice cream out of waffle cones and watch movies. Then in the first 30 seconds they cut to a scene where she is feeding him ice cream with her spoon. DUH!! That spoiled the whole show for me. I don't know anybody who would put their spoon somewhere they wouldn't want their mouth. Not sure why men are so incapable of reading obvious clues. And yeah, it did turn out she likes him, too. Obviously.

I remember a while back on some other forum discussing this so-called "Friend Zone". Some young poster said that a girl he likes told him those awesome words "I like you as a friend" and he asked advice about what he should do... remain friends, cut off all contact or keep trying. Now keep in mind that this particular forum is a tech one so the quality of the answers are suspect but it was funny reading the posts esp in response to mine which was something like:
Real men don't acknowledge a "friend zone". Don't most relationships start in the "friend zone"? Stay friends with her, and you never know, she might change her mind, esp if she sees you dating other women.
Then some expert tried to tell me that there is no moving beyond a "friend zone", once she makes up her mind, she will never see you beyond that. This guy had been recently divorced and was in another relationship (why he shared that information is beyond me). So I asked him "Why not? Can't people change?"
His answer: "No. You are either in love or not."
My answer: "So then how did you end up divorced? You both loved each other enough to get married and now you're not."
His answer: "That's different... " and then he went on to explain how she had mental problems etc etc.
In the end, he couldn't refute one simple thing, feelings can change.
People are friends because they have common interests and enjoy each other's company... how far is that from love? And quite honestly, if a man and woman are "best" friends and they are not with someone else, there has to be some attraction there.

Hmmm, a lot of different sub-topics there.
I would say there is a difference. I've had some male friends who I wouldn't say were a "best" friend but a good friend. There was ZERO attraction on my part. And by zero I mean a couple of the guys, the idea of anything romantic would have been repulsive to me, if that makes sense. Not their personalities - nice guys. Just physically... Some guys are just more like a brother or cousin or a really dorky little sidekick.
Can a person ever get past being repulsed?? I'm not so sure one can. It's not likely. Can "pity relationships" happen? Probably. It would require at best, a lack of disgust.

By the way, you guys - especially CZ -- you have to watch the show. These men have full-blown panic attacks!! Before and after their big reveal! It's crazy.
I don't get what takes some of them so long. Like that ice cream eater. He liked her for 4 YEARS! What a waste of time! What is the worst thing that can happen. She says no, sorry. Ok. That's fine. Not everybody has the same type. Big deal. Doesn't mean he's worthless. Maybe she's got problems. On to the next. There are more fish in the sea! Why let life pass you by? I just don't understand them. I'm not saying throw yourself at every woman you see. But waiting that long is just insane. I thought men were braver than that.

Not sure you can be best friends with someone you are "repulsed" by.
But you're saying it's physical... and I get that... but I don't think it's impossible either. Sometimes the personality makes up for the lack of physical attraction, and like feelings, someone's physical appearance can change over time.
I remember a girl in high school that was in our group of friends and the guys would always say how nice she was but never thought she was dating material. Fast forward a few years and this same girl who we haven't seen for a while, is now getting all of their attention. And they are all asking me questions because she's hanging out with me since I'm the one she's known the longest (and was probably friendlier to her in high school than they were).
But yes, there are people who are only attracted to a certain "type"... but I guess I'm a romantic and I believe that any man (or woman), if he/she works hard enough, can be that type.

I don't know how long this show has aired. I only discovered it recently.
So far the majority have been men revealing themselves to women.
I have only seen 2 episodes where it was a woman revealing herself to a man.
1 episode of a woman & woman.
1 episode of a man & man.
