Relationships and that chick in the Eve video

This weekend I had a conversation with a buddy of mine (during the Miami-Washington game) about his getting into a relationship with one of the two girls he's dating (and breaking up with the other). It serves as a perfect microcosm of male thoughts on dating:

Friend: Kev, its a relationship, people are bound to get hurt.
Kevin: Yes, but Lisa's not the one you're getting in the relationship with.
Friend: Collateral damage.
Kevin: Fair enough.

I'm pretty sure the female version of this conversation would have lasted several hours, involved analysis of every conversation the two have ever had and was not immediately followed by a much longer, much more in-depth discussion about "that chick in the music video with Eve."
