Men mistake friendship, but not sex, for love; women mistake sex, but not friendship, for love.

Men mistake friendship, but not sex, for love; women mistake

Summary

This quote suggests that men tend to confuse friendship with love, while women have a tendency to confuse sexual attraction with love. It implies that men often value close friendships and emotional connections, which they may mistake as signs of being enamored. On the other hand, women may prioritize deep emotional bonds and friendship as a foundation for love, but can sometimes mistake a purely physical or sexual relationship as a romantic one. Ultimately, the quote highlights a generalization about how men and women interpret and prioritize different aspects of love and relationships.

Spiritual evolution occurs as the result of removing obstacles and not actually acquiring anything new. Devotion enables surrender of the mind's vanities and cherished illusions so that it progressively becomes more free and more open to the light of Truth.
