    “If you had a reservation somewhere and then a table at Per Se opened up, you’d want to go there,” Alex offers.

American Psycho was written in 1991. Bonfire of the Vanities was 1987. Fuck, What Makes Sammy Run was 1941. Douches are douches are douches to the beginning of time. I mean Per Se is five blocks from where Studio 54 defined "hookup culture" in nineteen diggity seven.

That was kind of what I thought about it.

I'm older admittedly (34) and I've been safely married off for a good long while, but even when I was young and single, there was always the complaint that "Men don't want to commit!"

I've always found men to be as quick to commit as women are, and it's not as though I'm an amazing prize. I just didn't run into any douches, I think. Maybe on Tinder, your chances of running into a douche are higher?

That's a fine observation. Would you say that movie is worth the watch?

American Psycho? Hard to say. My relationship with the works of Brett Easton Ellis is complex.
