George Clooney by Michael Thompson


Who made getting laid an absolute good? If I wanted, I could walk around in Gucci shoes or flip flops or whatever insecure douchebags wear these days and have random, abusive, void-compensating sex with people. I work on Wall Street; I could buy and sell your ass. Or any ass, really. And there are people I work with that do.

But you know what? When people grow up and get out of college and maybe spend 5 minutes thinking about people other than themselves, you learn that satisfying your sexual emptiness isn't what women were built for. You learn that this Tucker Max brand of narcissistic, predatory crap is meaningless and hurtful. You learn that it's not about how bitchin' you are, brah; you learn that it's about how the forces within you with the power to contribute to the world have withered away. Then, at some point, you become a citizen of the world and stop making every waking moment about you and your penis. Maybe. I don't have much hope for you, but some of us men actually grow the fuck up. -ADismalScience
