Ok, everyone's going off on the qualities of these three friends, poor Ron, or how could Ron have...? or that kind of things.
In my experiences with men (hides a cough) including ex's, brothers, cousins, fathers, and other male friends, I have discovered something. Men tend to act like babies sometimes. Now this is not saying that all men on this list are under this classification--but the 25-60 that I know of personally all fit this case!
1.)A fight occurs. Rather than A admitting to B that A was wrong, they drag out these fights, and involve everyone around them in their misery. I still haven't figured this out.
2.)They know that they are lost, are wrong, whatever, they will continue with the self-deception until the pile of (insert word) is too high to deal with. (Like when you are lost and they refuse to stop at the gas station. This is NOT a caricature!) Or, that they believe a woman who is totally faithful is sleeping with someone else, when they deep down know better. Or to use HP, Ron KNOWS Harry's nature and that Harry never lies to his friends. Faculty, yes, sometimes to avoid trouble. But never to friends, but Ron's following this typical male thing.
It didn't matter if the men involved with the last paragraph were first born, second, or the last born. They still had that flaw!
3.) There are some women who do follow this as well, but not as many as the men! Sorry, guys, you're in the majority in my book.
Examples can be given upon request, with the names of the guilty withheld.
(And yes, this is a humorous post....sorry if it offends anyone!)
