Meet Carli and Sarah. Photocred: David Pike

These girls aren't shy. They speak their minds. The attitude is: if you don't think what they're saying is funny, you probably don't have a sense of humour.

On top of having smoking bods and haircuts I can relate to, both are strikingly intelligent, and carry a refreshing blunt attitude. They're like little New Yorkers who happen to be dressed convincingly sweet. Not once has anyone uttered, "Tell me how you really feel," to either of these ladies.

Example a) I'm at Carli's, and since we live in the same building, I've come up wearing a comfy (albeit tacky) old sweater and denim cutoffs. I'm going to the LCBO and ask Carli if I can wear my outfit in public. After looking me up and down, she hesitates and says, "It depends where in public you're planning on going."

Example b) We're debating if sex addictions are legitimate or if sex addicts are just taking their libido too seriously. Everyone wants to have sex all the time, right? Well, not when you are sore, grumpy, bloated or exhausted. Or so I thought. I say, "There are nights you don't want to have sex, right?"Both girls stare blankly at me. Several seconds pass in silence.
