This is out of line even for the snarky me to post, but as it happens to be the best - by my estimation, by Evan Mark Katz:

"There are a decent number of men out there who don’t really desire the same kind of relationship as you do. Their needs are met by their male friendships and their careers and the last thing they want to do is hold your purse when shopping at Nordstrom.

You can tell who these men are because when they’re not with you, you don’t exist. They’ll call you once a week to hook up and that’s all. These guys play on their terms, not yours and are a total waste of time (...)" [Source].

Funny that a purse holder (albeit in a situation very much different from shopping at Nordstrom), is my ideal of a relationship.
