“And it reaches a point,” says Jane, “where, if you receive a text message” from a guy, “you forward the message to, like, seven different people: ‘What do I say back?'"

You forward it to, like, seven different people cuz you don't know what to say?...back? That's fucked up. Jane: how about "yes" or "no?" 

“It is sad,” Amanda says. “That one A.M. text becomes ‘Oh my God, he texted me!’ No, he texted you at one A.M.—it’s meaningless.”

I do not comprehend.

“If he texts you before midnight he actually likes you as a person. If it’s after midnight, it’s just for your body,” says Amanda. 

If...What?!  Okay: I hereby make a demand for discovery and a public records request for the rules of this "game." Where did those come from?

It’s not, [Amanda] says, that women don’t want to have sex. “Who doesn’t want to have sex?"

Amanda, I herewith proclaim my utter availability. And eligibility for boyfriend-hood. If that would help. Either/or.
