I found this somewhere, I can’t remember where, but I find it amusing. It is funny because there is truth to it, at least for a significant number of people.  I especially find it amusing whenever I see so many young couples in love, walking hand in hand, their love so publicly displayed, so pure and innocent, so untainted by the realities of infidelities and the inevitable boredom that comes after the heat of passion has faded away.

As a man, such things make no difference when you have lost the interest of your woman. Perhaps this man is Rivelino’s perfect beta: the company man who works hard, leads a stable life, fawns over his girlfriend or wife, and is unbearably boring to her.
