One last eighty proof, slouchin' in the corner booth, baby, it's as good as it gets

On New Year's Eve, I called one of my friends to wish him a good one. During the conversation we had the following exchange:

Me: So, do you have any plans tonight? Going out with any lovely ladies?
Him: No. Hot girls don't exist in my world.
Me: No?
Him: I never see any, therefore they must not exist.
Me: It might be better that way. Think about it, what would be worse, not having them around, or having them all over the place but knowing that they aren't available to you? That's how it is here.

I'm not sure if that qualifies as sage wisdom or rubbing it in.
