Dilbert1999

Alice:
What's the old familiarity technique?

Wally:
It involves spending so much time with a woman that she gets used to your faults. It's like falling in love but without the expense.

Dilbert:
If I could have made this tobacco lobbyist spend enough time with me...

Wally:
...while she was using you...

Dilbert:
...then maybe, just maybe, the inertia would carry her beyond the point of being repulsed by my personality.

Wally:
Then one day if she breaks up with a socially functional boyfriend, she might be to emotionally crippled to date again. And there Dilbert will be.

Alice:
Why don't you just date a woman who respects you in the first place?

Wally:
You can do that?
