Strat's are like girlfriends. Tele's are like wives.

I've had seven or eight strat's over the years. Liked them all, really liked a couple, but eventually got bored with them all.
I've had one Tele. I look at other tele's, but it always makes me appreciate mine more.

To me, jazzmasters and strats must be high school sweethearts

They're all guitars. I'm not sleeping with any of them, and none of them are the mothers of my children.

I may be missing the metaphor...

I have a Jaguarillo * on the side.
She is beautiful ugly, and makes me smile.
Variety. Spice of life.

(* not a Fender Jaguarillo, a Jaguarillo style that I made).

Hmmm...

I disagree with this guitars are like women comparison.

If you have to ask why...

Deeper issues are at hand

Yes, it's a tired old comparison.
It's just idle banter.
Nobody needs therapy.

With practice, you may get to identify when other humans are just having fun.

Interesting. . . I used to have girl friends... till I met my wife..... I no longer have any girl friends, and still have the wife after 42 years.....

I used to have some Strats.... till I met the Tele.... I no longer have any Strats.... and am still in love with the tele....

Les Paul's are like guitar inventors

that also play red hot guitar with their wives while pioneering multi-tracking.

I think I missed something?

To me they are more like sisters; or a blonde and brunette; or Oregano and Basil.

Just as exciting as each other but each with their own flavour.

I think its kind of romantic to compare a wife to a telecaster. Really you are saying you never get tired of her and you really don't want any others. I think your wife would be happy to hear you say that.

I just asked my wife if it was romantic to compare her to a Telecaster...

She said NO, and now there is no chance I am getting any tonight.
