Thoroughly Modern Libblykat!

Michael Cera grates on me like a nagging cough. I know sweetly ineffectual men like this. I’ve taken classes with them, had them as roommates, peer-reviewed their essays, gone on bad dates with them… He’s the kind of lover no one likes to admit is no good. Selfish men give you the opportunity to be selfish too; arrogant men do a good job so you’ll tell your friends and help shore up their personal legends; timid men do a good job because they’re grateful; witty men do a good job because they understand playfulness and can appreciate the absurd. Sweetly ineffectual men do a bad job because they’re sweet and ineffectual. Their sexual skills are like a child’s macaroni art: primitive and unformed, but endearing enough in a sad way that you can’t quite throw it out.
