“I saw every kind. Druggies. Jocks. Tennis players. Ruby Tuesday waiters. But growing up, girls are always told by their dads, brothers, and uncles to steer clear of the riffraff. The bad guys traffic in cool, mimicking the bad-boy persona glamorized in movies. Shorthand: a walking sulk. Your father, if he was smart, terrorized them with a glance. Here’s what dads know: Cool is alluring when you’re young, but it’s not the best choice for marriage. When a man or woman settles down, they are insti...nctively programmed to seek out the mate that provides for them over the long term. Yes, I know “provides” is some sexist code word for “misogynistic lady-hating bastard,” but that’s only because feminists made it so. Providing for someone is a sacrifice, and it’s mutually selfish. That’s the pact. You’re a team and you provide for each other. And then, later, provide for a family. True, it sets limits to other behaviors: You can’t stay out all night doing lines of coke anymore (well, unless you’ve got a nanny who wipes down the mirror).MoreLessRead More Read Less
