A guy that I worked with was built very much like you describe. We called him ‘Stumpy’. He had one of the very few workplace romances that I know of that really worked out. Like they were made for each other. That was almost twenty years ago. Last I heard they were still living happily ever after.

> Using mones wisely for their social lubricant effects can lead one to reduce their alcohol (and other drug) intake. Now a little alcohol may be okay for health (say one glass of quality Resveratrol-rich red wine a day), but you would probably be using more than that if you are partying and chasing women at bars/clubs. Binge-drinking (along with recreational drug use) is definitely bad for your health so as tacitus said: “Tacitus Rule #4 Hard partying will accelerate the ageing process, so take …
