5. Based on my experiences with my past girlfriends,

human females have little tolerance for males, too. Or maybe it was just me.

4. Maybe they should have had them fill out a list of likes and dislikes before they paired them off?

I'm pretty sure her #1 dislike would have been sharing with the prissy, he-thinks-she-can-do-no-wrong, hussy he was seeing before her. :(
