for all the guys out there...

..."women are really attracted to guys who have their crap together. i doubt there are many women enamored by the idea of living under a bridge sucking on a bouillon cube while her man reads Emerson. this is probably not what the old ovaries are pining for... one day you wake up under a pizza box, the television blaring...laundry piled up over what might be a bedside table, and you ask yourself, how did my life get like this? why don't people like me? didn't i have a cat and what is that smell?

this book was written for guys, but it makes A LOT of sense re: God as a father... i have it if you want to borrow it.
