Back in 2006-ish I was dating a guy with pretty conservative views. We disagreed on a lot of stuff but I always felt he was intelligent and able to articulate the reasons behind his views. It also wasn’t so contentious to discuss politics yet. I didn’t think we would have much of a future together but we were young and having fun. One evening we were eating dinner and discussing politics. At the time gay marriage was still illegal but it was in the news a lot and a big topic of debate. I was arguing the pro using the typical arguments in favor and he bizarrely kept comparing gay people wanting to marry to short people wanting to be in NBA. “Sometimes you can really want something but that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.” I realized during that discussion that he was just an asshole and I broke up with him later that week. That wasn’t the only reason but it was definitely the final nail in the coffin.
