real men want
Men who have a lot of charm have it in place of something real that you are eventually going to want from them and find that they do not have.
dog children self
My dogs, the only creatures on the planet marked by my singular nurturing imprint, have all turned out to be rude and self-absorbed. In all likelihood, if they were children instead of dogs, I would have foisted more Charlie Sheens or Kardashians onto our crumbling culture.
past people behavior
Whatever behavior you've experienced from people in the past, expect them to do it again and again and again.
two important sections
The day is divided into two important sections: Mealtimes and everything else.
men way shy
Men, as a general rule, shy away from therapy because there is no obvious way to keep score.
mother taste facts
my mother ... took the fact that my taste differed from hers as a personal insult.
echoes childhood training
The whole narcissism and echo syndrome is usually the result of early childhood training. Those are very hard habits for anyone to break.
sports gun magazines
It's surely no accident that there are horoscopes in Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Woman, New Woman, Elle and Cosmo ... but not Sports Illustrated, GQ, Esquire, Field & Stream or Guns & Ammo.

thinking empathy way
I’ve made my life’s work spotting assholes. And you know, I think it’s harder now than ever before because there’s so many socially acceptable ways to exhibit a pathological lack of empathy.
reality thinking tvs
Reality TV has managed to commodify everything we used to think of as the elements of normal life.
nice men clothes
Beware the old man in young guy's clothes. If he's over 35 and comes to pick you up looking as though he's headed for a skateboarding competition while you are dressed to go to a nice restaurant, this is not a good sign.
nightmare moments complete-happiness
Every moment of your life that is not a complete nightmare is happiness.
girl running boys
our culture is definitely the eighth grade. It's run by eighth-grade boys, and the way these boys show a girl they like her is by humiliating her and making her cry.
