What you don't realise is that in a few years' time, when she's sick of being treated like shit by a bastard like you, she's going to realise that life isn't all about hot sex and orgasms, and end up going steady with one of us nerds. While you remain unloved by anyone due to your abysmal attitude towards people. So fuck you.
