...Given the trajectory of Jay-Z's record sales - 2003's The Black Album sold 3 million copies while 2007's American Gangster barely cracked 1 million - he would have been crazy to turn down the deal.

These expectations combine to produce dissatisfying results for everyone. The gap between ideals and hormones produces the hook-up culture, which is frustrating to most sane people. The difficulty about instant gratification is that it is neither. But if men don’t run around like deranged rabbits, they are failing to live up to their potential. If women “settle,” they’re committing the ultimate crime...
