- "I am a nice guy. I don't have a girlfriend.
- He has a girlfriend. I seethe with jealousy, hate his guts and think
- he`s a jerk.
- Ergo. Guys with girlfriends are jerks."
-
- Peeve: Bad reasoning.

- Men don't want to think about it, as long as they "get some".

- Its the law of averages. Some sage from years ago said that a good
- man is hard to find, but a good woman is too easy to find. Since
- women cannot figure out how to turn themselves into dykes or tolerate
- living in a good man's harem, they have to make do with what they have.
