The ugly truth that isn't in a movie with a happy ending is that everything happens for a reason. Romantically challenged is a nice way of saying a reject, somebody a lot of people don't want around, possibly including the people they are looking for romantic relationships with. Whether it's a male or a female, a reject is someone nobody misses when they're not around, though usually, most of the negative attention is directed toward males and hardly ever toward females for the same things (a double standard feminists don't mention). You hear about males nobody would miss, but you don't hear about females nobody would miss, since society instinctively thinks everyone has to protect females. That all females should be stood up for, and none should ever be stood up to. Females will of course always side with their own, but males are conditioned to do the exact same thing, that siding with or defending the female is always right no matter what, without questioning anything further.

when you can't be bothered to think of an answer or it looks like you are going to lose an argument, use this as a get out clause.

Actually, this saying is ITSELF one of the LEAST “true” statements of all time… as we are all too painfully aware, “coming clean” to the powers-that-be (i.e., parents, teachers, policemen, etc.) seldom if ever actually gains or maintains your “freedom”; in fact, usually the **exact opposite** occurs whenever you bravely/penitently reveal your shameful secrets like this --- rather than their extending any significant “charity” (i.e., mercy or forgiveness) to you in response to your trustingly/naively-admitted revelations of past transgressions, these hypocritical and out-of-touch-with-reality sadists generally do everything they can to CURTAIL your freedom and otherwise make you as miserable as possible, such as giving you an extended time-out, grounding you for an outrageously-long period, making you stay in from recess, throwing you in the slammer for a few days, and so on. So unless there is some serious injustice that your silence is maintaining (such as that an innocent person is being blamed/punished for something that you did), it’s usually wise to follow Will Roger’s advice to “never pass up a good chance to shut up”… contrary to what these authority-figures may try to assure you, they generally do **not** “have your best interests at heart”… about all they actually wanna do is try to soothe their **own** perpetually-gnawing consciences by being overly hard on anyone under their care!
