Just read this very interesting analogy of why a couple cannot be friends after a breakup and thought I would share.
This person knows a girl who broke up with a guy and she told him she wanted to “still be friends.” He said, “No thanks.” She wondered why he couldn’t fall back to being just friends after they had a romantic relationship.
He then came up with the “McDonalds Analogy” to try and explain it in a simple way that would help all women understand this tough question.
Imagine if you went to McDonalds a lot and ordered a Big Mac Combo meal. A Big Mac, Large Fries and a Coke. You really like this meal.
One day, you pull up to the drivethrough and order the Big Mac Combo meal and the girl tells you, “I’m sorry – you can have the Big Mac and the Coke, but you can’t get fries with that anymore.”
You think about this for a moment, and sure – the Big Mac is the centerpiece of the meal, but McDonalds has some really good fries and you like their fries with your meal.
So you say, “I’ve been able to get fries with that before, why can’t I have fries with my Big Mac combo anymore?” The girls says, “Well, I just think it is better if you only have the Big Mac and the Coke from here on out.”
At this point, a lot of guys will be going to go to other outlets like KFC or Burger King and see if they can get fries with their combo at that drivethrough window.
But there are some guys who really like McDonalds Big Mac and they might think, “If I keep coming here and order the Big Mac and Coke, maybe she’ll change her mind and give me some fries with that later.”
So they will keep on getting the combo without the fries until the deal breaker happens: One day that guy is going to order the Big Mac and Coke and then he’s going to pull up a little bit to pay, and someone else is going to pull up to the drivethrough speaker and order the “Big Mac Combo” and he is going to hear the girl say, “Would you like fries with that?”
That’s why guys don’t like to be friends with a girl who breaks up with them.
i can’t catch any balls~~~
Then probably I know where your intelligence level is up till.
Fries and different drive through windows, hmmm, haha
Interesting analogy. haha. i am still expecting the story to goes on.. like, paying more for just big mac and coke only. hahas.
so which girl you broke up with? lol
@ALAMAK – Don’t think too much. It’s just an analogy.
@cloudz – NOBODY! I’M JUST SHARING SOMETHING COOL. Don’t think too much too.
does it means that , after break-up , the girl wont treat the guy as good as before , but if the girl was to be with a new guy , she will treat the guy like she used to. feelings do fade afterall…
It means that, when you’re friends with someone you just broke up with, you no longer have the benefits you used to have. And one day, you’re going to see another guy getting the benefits which you used to own.
Oo…i get it now…hahahaa
nice one ang .
oic. you really knows chim-mino-logy.
