“You look strong enough to me, ja?” Mike smiled, reaching over to squeeze her arm. “Very healthy.” It was a repeat of what he had done to Katy that morning in suggesting he was fitness crazy, when really he was just a regular guy that enjoyed working his body physically.<br/><br/>“You know, this whole experiment has me thinking now. It seems like both of you, and Katy too if her background was accurate, had a history of failed and/or abusive relationships. I was wondering if that was by design, or if women have this thing inside of them that tells them they must have a significant other in their life, ja?”<br/><br/>Mike absently stood up and started clearing the table. “I mean, I have been in plenty of relationships, too, but for me it is more about access to sex, ja? There is always some attraction there, too, of course, but I have always felt like a woman in my life was more of a bonus than a requirement.” Mike laughed at himself. He started making a sound like ‘wank wank wank!’ “I should be going around like this, ja? I sound like a pig!”
