Recommend an ex.Orelse wtf


Today I came across this article a friend posted, about a website called "Recommend an ex". 
The principle is simple. You broke up with a person but you think this person is great (which is exactly why you are not together anymore) and you want to ... help? be fair?  piss off your ex? so you post his/her photo with a link to their Facebook profile with a couple of sentences describing how cool this person is and why. I just noticed the website is meant mostly for the ones who dumped their partners, for it says : 
"Now you have the chance to transform the guilt or remorse of that kick in the ass into happiness."
So first of all, when you break up with someone and  feel guilty there's indeed no better way to  fix things up than  charitably recommending the very person who was not good for you to another victim. Are you serious?!

Right.Whatever. Let's say the person who recommends his/her ex is totally honest and broke up for other reasons than his/her ex partner being a hopeless socio, psycho, or other "paths".  Who on earth cares of knowing the good side of a person, since this is always what you get served first by the person itself? People want to impress you and showcase their most charming faces...Wouldn't it be better to have an insight on the person's bugs right from the beginning? If not to run away, just to be prepared; a friendly ex (who is over her/his ex) of your current flirt, is a blessing to have around. A chat with her (I say her for I don't know if this happens between men too) is extremely useful, precisely because she can point out, in a smooth way, the less brilliant side of the sunshine you're in love with. The problem is that you usually get to an open discussion like this far too late, when you are already getting to similar conclusions and solutions like hers before you.
But the good side of it is that you can make friends. That happened to me more than once. You can even  hang out with your ex and the exes of your ex and have a really great time. By the way, thanks to some of my exes for the beautiful friends their exes are to me now :-)

Back to the website..and to all these exes. The meaning of the latin word "ex" means "out of". So why on earth should you keep interfering in the private life of the person you've just chucked out of yours just to get away with some (justified or unjustified) remorse of yours... You don't do that sort of condescending shit. I don't get it.
Well as far as I'm concerned, if any of my exes had the weird idea of "recommending me" this way, he could be sure to get the same treatment, except I'd definitely make sure noone would ever want to date him again.
