Let me ask this...has anybody ever heard a woman say, "He was a blast to be around, he fu(ked me silly and took great care of me. But I dumped him because he was so self-sufficient."? Does anybody think it's possible that no woman in the history of the world has ever uttered those sentences?
Of course not. What she would say is "He was a blast to be around, he f*cked me silly and took great care of me but I left him for another guy who did all three even better because I knew he would be okay with that because he was so self-sufficient."
