Two halves don't make a whole.  2 halves plus 8 + national publicity + money don't make a whole.

Guys need to use this as an example of how not to be.  If you're going into the relationship a pussy, you're going to make yourself and your partner very miserable.  Trying to build an army of clone kids in a lab isn't something that healthy, fulfilled people do.  If your woman comes at you with these types of crazy demands or ideas, the only right answer is to Jack Bauer up and put your foot down.

And guess what? You'd better start exercising that foot before you get into a relationship.  If you're not a self-driven, whole man who knows himself, any relationship you get into will end awfully.

I've never been to a school dance. I don't know how to Tango, Salsa, Swing or even Macarena. But I've been doing a little dance lately: The DATING Dance. I think of it as a dance because it's all about rhythm and fun. Well, if it's DONE RIGHT, it's about rhythm and fun. In case you are wondering, here are some of my dance steps: Talk, Joke, Pause. Look, Laugh, Talk. Joke, Joke, Laugh. Eat, Talk, Drink, Walk, Talk. Always remember to mix it up a little, so that it feels like dancing and not marching. Joke, Pause, Watch. Laugh, Touch, Joke, Touch. Smile, Ask, Laugh. Eat, Joke, Answer, Smile. These are my dance steps... But just like dancing, it doesn't always turn out the way you plan. If you're not paying attention to the music or your partner, you MAY step when you're supposed to turn, or slide when you're supposed to bop. Nervous Laugh, Answer, Answer, Ask, Ask, Ask, Ask, Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause. Ask. Nervous Laugh. Ask, Ask. Pause. Oops! Somebody just stepped on his partners toes... How embarrassing! Now is she going to get all huffy that you scuffed up her new shoes, or will she ignore it? Should YOU ignore it, or should you apologize? What are you thinking trying to pull off that spin-slide-twist move? My answer is: Stop thinking. Keep dancing.
