so feign niceness and act like you care
This young woman (she's 24) has some advice for the lovelorn. Being, much of the time, lovelorn, I thought I'd check it out.
Some of it is very funny. Some of it makes me want to break something. Especially the part about how you should avoid men who like anal sex, unless of course you yourself do as well--in which case, "you are also a freak and deserve to remain dateless." Also, I've dated a few men with motorcycles, and there was nothing loathsome about any of them, unless an excess of charm, creativity, or intelligence became a crime as I slept last night.
And women wonder why men despair.
