Summary

This humorous quote suggests that men are often more actively pursue women in the stage before marriage, where their desires and efforts are more apparent. However, once married, the "y" in "yearning" becomes silent, implying that their pursuit or yearning for their partner diminishes.

Darwin theorized that mankind (both male and female) evolved alongside each other over millions of years, both reproducing after their own kind before the ability to physically have sex evolved.
