Or a woman comes into my life who checks all of the boxes: she’s funny, smart, sexy, kind, genuinely amazing – and then what? Or what if I miraculously achieve dietary perfection and tirelessly work toward building a chiseled physique – and then what? And then I still have to live with myself. No matter where you go, that’s where you are, right?
