Even though my partner is the worst back-seat driver, I wouldn’t want to be with someone who’s easy to control. It would soon become monotonous. Uh-oh, my dog probably thinks I’m easy to control!!

Yes, some narcissists go for people who are way less attractive than themselves. They do this because they’re easier to control. The narcissist reasons that they won’t be able to find someone as attractive as themselves, so it’s easier to keep them around doing things for them.

The latter included Tina’s harem of men who slept with her when she was still with with Dan, not to mention her supposedly platonic friend Nate. I couldn’t stop laughing whenever I read an article featuring him, because he was the only one in Tina’s harem who Dan seemed to think, “What was she thinking??!!”. The one who Dan specifically described as “the decidedly unattractive Nate” and spoke about how ineptly he danced. I even had a mental image about him dancing, though I haven’t even laid eyes on him. When I made a mental imaging about the other men she slept with, such as Doug, Scott, Cassidy, Chris…did I leave anyone out?…I always think of them as looking evil and sinister but Nate comes to mind as a ridiculous figure.

But your post reminded me that a narcissist will get their grubby mitts on anyone who might be deemed supply. Not all of their supplies get to sleep with them. Though Dan was prime supply because he looked after her, driving her around and giving her money, he had to be put down quite a lot because he was more successful in life and that fact alone would have given her a many a narcissist injury. I gather that Nate got lucky with Tina because she needed him to be her admirer and shower her with attention. He, in turn, would have have been amazed at his luck to be with her. I wonder how that’s going to last!

And no pauses, with one story running straight into another!
