As a rule, people - women and men - mostly don't get what they really want. (Usually they settle for something less). And what they can get, they usually don't want and, as a consequence, don't see at all.
X has the hots for Y, but Y has the hots for P. A eventually screws Y, 'cause she pines for P and A couldn't get of with M. In the meantime, X b*****s on WP, whilst sitting at home, wanking off to his perfectly imagined Y, while Q badly wants him in her pants.
WTF, hey?
