Short-lived Clarity

A random man-bashing MSN conversation with a colleague today:

O: So, would you marry someone you can live with, or someone you can't live without?
Me: All women should do the former, and men, the latter.
O: Huh? Why?
Me: Then the women will not be forever wasting tears on the men who keep breaking their hearts, and the men will stop taking their women for granted.
Me: Then the world will be a much better place.
O: Hmm. So true.
Me: But I'd still choose the man I can't live without.
O: Oi. Masochist.
Me: You would too.
O: Hmm. So true.
