Quote by William Feather

Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.

Women lie about their age; men lie about their income.

Summary

This quote suggests a common tendency among women to be dishonest about their age, likely due to societal pressures and judgments surrounding aging. On the other hand, men are seen as more inclined to misrepresent or exaggerate their income, possibly because societal norms often associate financial success with masculinity and status. It highlights a gender-based stereotype about the kind of lies that individuals might be more likely to engage in, reflecting the different societal expectations and pressures placed on women and men.

I'm not really much of a shopper. I have to say that I'd definitely prefer good sex. What makes good sex? Oh my god. I think you need to feel free and you have to really trust the other person. And you have to have that strange, mysterious chemical connection.

A little weeping, a little wheedling, a little self-degradation, a little careful use of our advantages, and then some man will say .Come, be my wife! With good looks and youth marriage is easy to attain. There are men enough; but a woman who has sold herself, even for a ring and a new name, need hold her skirt aside for no creature in the street. They both earn their bread in one way. Marriage for love is the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls; marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles the world.
