Re: Time to talk
Isn’t it true that the only reason you’re so anti-love-and-marriage is because your own didn’t work out?

Re: Time to talk
Absolutely not. The failure of my own marriage plays absolutely no part in my conviction that human beings are genetically incapable of monogamy. I believe we were meant to have seven or eight partners in a lifetime, not one. The idea that as a community we applaud those couples who manage to stay together forty or fifty years or longer is simply ridiculous. There’s something inherently wrong with celebrating couples like that. It simply isn’t natural to want to spend that much time with another human being.

Re: Time to talk
My parents will be celebrating their fortieth wedding anniversary next year. Are you saying there’s something inherently wrong with them?

Re: Time to talk
No offense to your parents, but basically, yes. Are you going to tell me that in all of those forty years, they’ve never fought or cheated on each other?

Sure they’ve fought. They’re HUMAN. But cheated on each other? No way.

I never said my theory was a very popular one. But it happens to be true.

PS Has anyone ever told you that you’re kind of cute when you’re mad?

Re: Time to talk
Are you FLIRTING with me?
It won’t work. I’m a little brighter than the women you’re so obviously used to.
Stop e-ing me, we’re here.

PS You’re still an ass.
