So....Do you know what that is? Have you been one of those?

Or have you seen it?

Basically someone only being with someone else on either just a date or believing to be "together" with a "significant one" for the reason to show off. Show off at parties and various places with other people that "she (or he) is Mine!" but at the same time you feel ignored and your feelings aren't returned and you start to feel like an accessory which has its time when to use, only small maintenance required to keep this "trophy" around (usually sex for a trophy guy, gifts and promises usually the trophy is a girl) , but otherwise disposable if he or she starts to become a problem or starts to realize how been only used.

If you have never been one, have you seen it and recognized those "couples" ?

I believe I have been hit on/ asked out with this intention but would never actually date someone who didn't love me for my big bulging brain glasses

Yup, I've been put into that situation before. Didn't like it, didn't last long at all. I am proud to be seen with the one I'm with, but that certainly isn't my reason for being with them, and shouldn't be ANYONE's reason for being with someone.

I do'nt know, I'm just asking because it seems like at the very least, it would feel nice to have someone proud of being with You, Right?

There is a difference between being proud of someone, and ONLY being with them to show them off.

That's true, I guess I just could'nt imagine it.

I felt like that sometimes when I was involved in music -- but I will admit that I took full advantage of it, too.

Doesn't happen anymore, though -- I guess authors don't make good trophies....?

So there was an upside?

Bingo, especially if you love him (or her) and you are only used at certain times, but otherwise you get a cold shoulder about everything else and pushed aside and feel ignored. Anyone who thinks it's great to be a trophy, it's as good as being a doormat.

Being proud of someone and loving him (or her) is an entirely different thing.

Even when I have dated semi famous folks I never bragged on them or showed them off. I never treat anyone as an object.


People are people to me regardless to their financial status or fame.

And any man who appeared to be doing it with me, had to go.
