"Anon, you're single. Why don't you have a girlfriend? You don't want one?"

"No..."

"Why not?"

"Because that takes effort and energy for something I'm not necessarily craving enough. Imagine for a second that you're craving not a relationship but orange juice. So what do you do? You go to the supermarket, of course, and buy an orange to make orange juice with it. But imagine if instead of being able to do that so easily, you have to find orange seeds, plant them, tend to the orange tree as it grows, and then finally pick the oranges from the tree in the blazing California sun. Would you still be enticed to go out of your way for orange juice? I don't think so. So next time you ask me if I have or want a girlfriend, keep that in mind you dumb bitch."

I like oranges and orange juice, but I'm sticking to coffee with half and half and fruits.

Why can't men just go to the store?
