Cynical humor from one's lover may tend to take the starch out of the old noodle.
Plus, most of them are gay.

Hmmm... I think you have a point there. It is hard to listen to a female comedian on the stage making fun of various boyfriends and their approaches and then later approach the same female comedian who will view you with a jaundiced eye, only to know that whatever you do would likely become comical grist for her stage act. That isn't probably what one is thinking conciously but deep down one knows this to be true... Great analysis!
