“The point is to break the fucking cycle. Women aren't rehab centers for emotionally stunted man-babies who think the key to a serious relationship is to just wait for the right woman to come along. You have to be ready to be uncomfortable, to stretch yourself, to be vulnerable....

Because "real men" don't do that, right?”

if it gives off a scent equally pleasant at all three different stages of its life, can it be called successful”
