Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

10 Hard-Core Truths About Men
    This information was not fun to learn, but once you know these things, it all gets easier to deal with.
1. Men will always look. (It’s animalistic; they have to check out girls.)
2. They don’t always want to know what we are feeling. (They do tune us out.)
3. Men don’t love to spoon or cuddle. (They’ll do it, but they don’t like it.)

9. They can’t read our minds. (We want them to, but they can’t.)
10. Men don’t believe in romance. (It’s not in their nature. They will learn it for you, but it’s not something they believe in.)
