The Penis Is Not A Philanthropic Organization
These are a few of my Pins of quotes from my new book, "Good Manners for Nice People Who Sometimes Say F*ck."
These three are all from the Dating chapter, which gets into how a good deal of what we see as the "rudeness" of the opposite sex has to do with our ignoring or not accepting that we have different biology, psychology, and differing sexual strategies coming out of those differences. 
And on the other side of these differing sexual strategies: 
I also particularly liked this fun quote from my friend Walter Moore that pretty much lays out the problematic expectations from each end:
I think women are incredibly random in what they like lookswise, well rather than random they are amendable.
I have a client, whom I would never ever be attracted to if someone described him to me physically. Blond? Nope. 20 years older than me? Nope Eccentric? Look I'm a weirdo but we're a pain so hell to the fuck no.
And yet I have a huge schoolgirl crush on the guy. He is not handsome, or tall (though taller than me), or built, or talkative. He is though incredibly brilliant and if I had the inclination for marriage and children I understand why my eggs would be screaming for his sperm.
He would make an exceptional provider.
But I don't need a provider and yet my brain still operates under the premise.
(No I'm not fucking the guy)

I honestly think sugar is as addicting as cocaine.
I did 3 weeks of no sugar and felt like a damn junkie.

If women's urges are going to be determined by money, we may as well buy a la carte.

And yet mine is famous for its generosity, attentiveness and brisk response to even the most humble petitioners.
My penis will make you forget all about your 501(c).

So of course, the cunning Chinese connive to exploit my largesse.
No. Ain't gonna happen.

I agree with #2, but I would take it a step further. When I lost a well-paying job, had to move in with my friends and make a little more than minimum wage, I stayed away from the dating world until I could get my own apartment.

A friend of mine once posted on a message board, "Religion is like a penis. It's fine if you have one. It's okay if you're proud of it. But, please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around! And PLEASE, don't shove it down our children's throats!

If you want to see #2 disproved, check out all the hot babes visiting their inmate boyfriends.

We need an explanation for this common phenomena: Young (mostly) women carrying on with their cellphones, while their so-called boyfriends tag along beside them.
If I could, I'd smack these chumps upside the head and tell them to make their girlfriends put the damn phones away! To me, that is the ultimate rudeness to a man, but none of these unwitting Nice Guys have been told that.

C'mon jefe, it's probably the closest thing to peace & quiet those dudes get.

That doesn't "disprove" it -- it's about something else. There are a variety of reasons women get involved with assholes and criminals and if you want a woman who isn't broken, you need a job.

I DO have a job, sort of-- self employed, putting shoes on ladies' horses at the riding stables. These women are ALL broken-- it's why they gravitate to horses.
Well, lots of them, anyway.
