White Knight's Lament

Mack shrugged and said, "I guess I'm just a white knight. And," he added with a grin, "the white knight gets the girl."
Aaron spun around and snapped "You know what that is? It's a damned lie! In real life, the unlikely but plucky hero does not get the beautiful girl. The girl doesn't even give him the time of day! She says 'I'm meeting someone' or she gives him a bogus phone number or she says 'let's just be friends.' She ends up with the college quarterback, the lawyer, the arrogant guy in the two thousand dollar suit. And maybe she's not happy with him but that doesn't matter, because whether she is or she isn't, you are never going to get a chance with her!"

  1. If you are morbidly interesting in one of the most jarring, but plausible, explanations of male/female relations (warning: some vulgar language), check out this link. I don't think I've ever been quite the same since first reading it.

    It explains a lot in terms that perhaps unwittingly connect to our biological imperatives for thousands of years (perhaps all time).
