This theory doesn't take much convincing. Most people agree with it quickly. But it is very funny and applies in MANY situations.
If you have the same relationship with two different people independently that does not mean that you can have the same style/quality of relationship with both people at the same time.
Additionally, that relationship you have is translated through your person so that the other two involved feel the same relationship between each other.
It is easier explained in the form of a story.
It is okay for me to experience certain bodily functions in the presence of my wife. (i.e. bathroom visits) It also has been a common occurrence for me to experience these things in the presence of my guy friends because when in public of course we share the same restroom. But it is not okay (at least in Kristen's mind) for me to experience this with both her and one of my guy friends present. She says it make her feel like she is using the bathroom in front of the guy. Not cool.
Another example comes in the form of conversation. I feel comfortable discussing sex with my wife (of course). I also have discussed this with wise men, and friends. I would never consider talking about this with both at the same time. It would make them feels like they were talking with each other about a issue in which they are not comfortable discussing with each other.
Ponder. Comment.

Candy Bars and First Impressions.
A lie or the best foot forward?
I recently had a kit-kat. They are delicious. Also, it came from my lovely wife as a gift for valentines day.
This is what got me thinking... I would take the first bit of the kit-kat and it was amazing. Half way through I would be satisfied and think that I could just eat one and be satisfied. Then when the last bit hit my lips I couldn't help but want one more. I started to develop this theory; the outside/edge of a candy bar is always the best.
So the next night I did some research. I ate a kit-kat. Ends first! That's right, I took my first bit and then flipped it around and took out the opposite end before finishing the middle. Amazing results. I ate just one.
This is what I think happened. The middle of the bar is good, but not too good. Not, addictive good. I have learned how to beat the system.
Another example. Resses. The best part is the outer edge that has a high ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. The edge is the best part. I know what you are thinking. Chocolate is better than peanut butter, it's not the edge it is what is on the edge. And to that I say exactly! These people know exactly what we want and they give it to us at the beginning and at the end.
This got me thinking. Is this putting the best foot forward or is it a lie? Why are they covering up who they really are or are they just trying to have people see what is great about them so they can enjoy. Either way it is good marketing for candy bars.
Lessons learned: First impressions count and the end has to be great as well.
