Although the support is nice.

(two guys are discussing how Guy 1’s girlfriend bought him a gift)
Guy 1: Sure it’s a nice gift. I pretty much got her the exact same thing though.
Guy 2: Reciprocating gifts just doesn’t work. I mean, my mom wouldn’t go off and buy me a bra.

And why isn’t anybody dozing off?

(a girl from Arts decides to attend her boyfriend’s engineering class)
Girl: “Oh my God this is so weird.”
Guy: “What?”
Girl: “Why didn’t anybody bring their laptops?”
Guy: “Uhh.. it’s easier to write stuff down…”
Girl: “No I mean it’s so weird to be in a class where nobody is checking Facebook!”

You can read all about it in my new pop-sociology book, “Uglynomics”.

Guy 1: Well, girls seem to know whether they are pretty or not. They are very self-conscious about it.
Guy 2: Man, how do you know?
Guy 1: It’s like, when you go clubbing, you don’t see any ugly girls because they know that they are ugly. And they don’t associate with pretty ones.

That’s why I’ve only dated 12-year olds until now.

Girl (in showy clothing) on phone: I was out a date with this guy last night. He leaned in to kiss me and I totally dodged it. I mean, I’m 19 now, so I guess it would be ok….but I still want a priest to pre-approve it.

Guys are thus the quintessential example of “the tail wags the dog”

I’d compliment your insensitivity, but you’d need to bend over.
