"And another thing ..."

Julia is cool. Julia is wise. Julia had a very public breakup with her boyfriend because he wouldn't go on bipolar meds. Julia has astute readers. I particularly enjoy the sage advice of "you don't want some cocky ass, 'intellectual' bastard, cuz ultimately they're selfish, and only self-serving." Poetic, almost. Sadly, this dances around an issue that is a huge part of the whole picture.

I'll say it again: women are genetically driven to optimize their allegiances with men who will provide them with good resources and good genes. You are a very lucky man if your woman decides that you fulfill both of these categories simultaneously.
