  4. If you have low standards or if you work at a bar is pretty easy to get laid. Just saying...

  5. That's great Allen. Thanks for visiting me and commenting on my poem. I'm following you now and I'd love it if you follow me. Anyone who compliments my poetry has a good chance of getting laid too.

    Love,
    Lola

  6. I was gonna say something else, but Lola's comment made me choke I laughed so hard and I'm now intrigued about the poetry.

    Go compliment people's poetry at a night club or something man, get laid.

  7. Ha! I know what you mean. Allen, there's got to be a girl for you around there! There just has to be! You said you are busy working all the time. Is there anyone at work???

  8. There are many girls for you; you just need to find them.

  9. Hahaha, ain't that the truth. There are so many posts about the nice guy/a**hole syndrome, usually the size of a book.

    Always amazing how you are able to summarize such profound ideas into 9 lines.

  18. He may have got laid, but I don't envy his predicament.

  19. That's quite interesting. But girls can't be found in offices.

  20. Don't take it personally Allen. It's just because you're a postdoc and in debt. Teach get tenured and you'll get laid with no problem.
