IEI men going for IEI women

[Adam Strange]

You're a masochist

For sure, I was when I was chasing her. But I'm getting better as I get farther from my divorce. I don't actually want the IEI anymore, and seeing her again just enables me to measure how much better I'm doing.

*EDIT*
Looking back on this and on my other relationships with IEI's, I think I tend to go towards them when I'm in a crisis situation, because they are so good at non-attachment and dodging the shoals of life unscathed.

My favorite cousin is IEI, dating from when I was three weeks old. She helped me get past the fact that my mother didn't love me.
One of my favorite buddies in Jr High was IEI, and what better type than IEI to help transition from childhood to adulthood?
More recently, there is the above female IEI who was there to flirt with after my divorce.
And finally, there is a fourth IEI whom I dated and who wanted to get married to me, which helped my self-esteem tremendously.

It all makes sense, in a very fucked up way.
