In the cosmopolitan magazine articles I read while standing in the check out line waiting to pay for my boneless skinless chicken breast, tuna, eggs, protein powder and Yankee Black Cherry scented candle (cause chicks dig the scent) they all seem to indicate they like a man who can laugh at himself.. since all those articles are true insights into the female psyche, I think it would be safe to say, had you recovered from the intense pain with a little self deprecating chuckle, you would have been golden.. Hope this helps..
