I've never been great at taking life in moderation. Always so much more of an all or nothing kind of guy. It's why I have to be so strict on myself, as nothing is usually the smarter option.
Speaking of 'smarter': While I'm too perverse to identify as a feminist, I will have to admit that women are typically smarter than men in terms of the things which matter most to me in life: art, philosophy, emotional intelligence. If you disagree, then you're not hanging around the right women.
