“Most women sell sex; most of them just don’t take cash (nor do they each sell to more than one ‘client’ at a time).”

“There would definitely be way fewer instances of cheating, if the average couple did not have sex only when the woman feels like it.”

“Because he has finally realized that it is it and not him that is loved by the woman he loves, many a man is jealous of his own car, house, wardrobe, or salary.”

“It's time to shop high heels if your fiance kisses you on the forehead.”

“A relationship is likely to last way longer, if each partner convinces or has convinced themselves that they do not deserve their partner, even if that is not true.”

“Some of us were brought into this troubled world primarily or only to increase our fathers’ chances of not being left by our mothers, or vice versa.”

“Some people will hate you for not loving them.”
