Why do everyone play e4 e5

1 e4 accomplishes more than all other 19 possible moves, even slightly more than 1 d4.
1...e5 accomplishes more than all other 19 possible replies, even slightly more than 1...c5.

Chess is the art of wasting time while pretending to be a genius.
welp.. that's unpleasantly accurate

I call 'em like I see 'em.

Not everybody does. I don't respond with 1.e5 very often, but other factors come into play.
if you were playing a girl, would you focus on something else and not play e5? Would you try to do a sicilian defense instead ? that is 1.e4 c5 which i found out on Monday

That's a sexist comment isn't it. No I don't play the Sicilian very often, when I do it's the off beat Quinteros variation that is 1.e4 1.c5 .Nf3 3.Qc7. If I was playing a girl I'd play what I usually play 1.c6 the Caro Kann, Alekhine's Defence 1.Nf6, or maybe modern defence 1.g6. If I know my opponent's opening repertoire is poor with 1.e4 1.e5 I'll go with that. But I prefer playing, and also playing against 1.d4. If I was playing against an intersex person, I may try the Pirc Defence that's 1.d6 ....

girls are good at chess so make sure you are prepared against boys and girls

But how do you counter the "intersex" type ? I've heard they're also very good at chess.
1 e4 is the most logical opening and for the same reasons 1...e5 is the most logical answer.

Sounds interesting. What's your logical justification?
Oh wait.
