What are the disadvantages of having boyfriends?

Boyfriend are always going on about silly things a major disadvantage is: they will make you trust them and love them so much it hurts to breathe when you are not with them. then, they will leave you and break your heart and ruin your entire world and you will spend the rest of your life depressed and lonley. I never found any negative side effects from having boyfriends when I was younger. Some were just great, others needed a boot in the butt so I gave it to them, moved on and didn't miss one of the not so nice guys. I never allowed a man to rule my life to that extent. Oh yes, it hurts, but sitting around and moping isn't going to resolve the issue. I guess it's simply because I'm a realist. On a better note I love men (even as friends) and find them facinating little darlings. As the old saying goes, "You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em!"
