As you can see, I ran out of steam in chronicling the Megalomaniac. He was a life-force-draining crazymaker, and it was easier (and wiser) to move on than to dwell. Now that the shallow man's shallow wound has healed over.....it doesn't make his past antics any less amusing.
On to the rest of the Red Flag List...
2. He lectures publicly about Emotional Intelligence and Improving Communication...and showed me one of his prized powerpoints on our First Date.
Could this be any more ironic? A man who solves problems with the Silent Treatment gives presentations to others about communication....and understanding emotions.
Supposedly this is part of his job--educating interns on improving people skills and communication tactics to enhance their careers and social lives.
Now why didn't I run when he gave me a quick 7-minute version of one of his favorite presentations on our first date???
The world (and I) will never know. He spliced in amusing details of his own life to illustrate his points, and somehow I found this endearing. And it seemed like I might learn something about him more valuable than whatever I could learn from Googling him (sans affirmation or denial of criminal record) so I figured what the heck.
But next time you find yourself watching a powerpoint on a First Date......give yourself a good shake and call it a night.
