I do appreciate your translation.

“At first reading, that statement borders between Word Salad and Gobblety-Goop.”

That’s how an academic makes his crap look important.

To this academic I would say, “Duh.”

Who doesn’t know that a little affection soothes heartbreak, at least to some extent.

I think it said this woman was the author.

Note she got her PhD from ...Minnesota.

You may now throw (verbal) rotten tomatoes at her.

“Getting laid eases your chemical dependence.” Right.

Why throw tomoatoes? Even if she can’t write clearly, and her conclusion should be foregone, she is at least advocating implicitly for stable heterosexual relationships, which is something we should support.

And while she isn’t red-head Tiffany hairdresser hot, she looks to fall within the date/wife zone, so throwing tomatoes (or frogs) is juvenile, not self-defense, which is sometimes called for. Just not in this case.

The first thing I learned in college is that alcohol is an excellent sexual lubricant. Apply liberally, and the clothes slide right off.

I guess this creates a dilemma. He has to drink with his girl so he can get laid in order to mitigate his drinking problem.
