"Why do men have to be such idiots?" Nadia asked her friend Elena as they talked on the phone.

"Why can't I just find a man who is intelligent, educated, and who pays attention to me and not so much my breasts?" Elena broke out into a hysterical laugh.

"Nadia, you're just too picky. You don't give men the chance to prove themselves to you. Remember the last guy? What was his name?"
